Advantages: Well built with useful pockets
Disadvantages: Doesn't fit all of the cameras it says it does!

...and the cursing will be heard for miles around! Grumble number two in relation to the side bags is the fact that they don't have handles on them. You could use the poppered loop to attach them to something although the orientation would be wrong (the loop goes virtically on the case rather than the horizontal loop that would be required to fit the case onto a belt-loop, for example). One of the big plus points about this bag is its ease of carrying. A centrally mounted handgrip is ideally placed to allow you to carry the bag by hand in a balanced manner. Unlike some camera bags I tried (particularly Lowe) the handgrip was placed slightly off centre (in the front to back line) which seems to help stop the bag swinging. As an alternative to the central handgrip, a detachable shoulder strap is also provided. This is fully adjustable... Read review

...Crumpler Pretty Boy XL Back Pack Crumpler's an Australian company producing quality goods in the hold-anything bag industry, they specialize in laptop cases and bags, shoulder strap bags, camera bags and cellphone cases, but their product range is way wider including travel bags, trolleys, whatever-purpose backpacks and cases. Important to mention is that what makes it an outstanding trademark is besides inargumentable quality the products' looks. Crumpler is young, trendy, stylish, won't offend anybody and it has a spirit that makes you fall in love. I've had my eye on Crumpler since quite a while, but since their stuff isn't the cheapest, I had been waiting for a good reason to invest my money into one of their beauties and that has come just now. I was in acute need of a camera bag and I also longed for a laptop backpack so... Read review

Advantages: It is waterproof, hard wearing, durable and stylish
Disadvantages: Very expensive and not that big for all the little extra's

...on and decide before you try. ***** Specifications ******** o Changing mat included o Thermal bottle holder included o Zipped pocket for mum’s valuables o Magnetic lock on lid o Four Metal stud feet o Odd shaped designed zip o Hard construction outer shell in waterproof material o Wipe clean polyester o Wipe clean shoulder strap o H28 x W32 x D19cm **** First Impressions ****** The bag resembles a small weekend bag come tote. The design and style is nothing like the traditional baby bags on the Mothercare shelf and neither is the tough outer shell. Think of Samsonite in a smaller scale and this is the Baby Bjorn bag. Before it is even filled, the “BB” is quite heavy but not too bulky. The Baby Bjorn logo is in silver and this is the cover of the magnetic clasp. With its clip on the front, the bag can...

Advantages: A better understanding of disabilities? - my 40th Review
Disadvantages: The dis-organisation of my dyspraxia is painfully evident.

...over the head and on the opposite shoulder or just hung around my neck. I was given a ‘bum-bag’ for my 50th birthday: but as I have no waist, it became a handy over-the-shoulder-belt-bag. Currently, this bag too has fallen into disuse. The alternative became to put everything into my jacket pocket(s). [Tee he – imagine a casual friend trying to lift my jacket with the conventional ‘handbag contents’ in the pockets! Well distributed, and worn with good posture it could be good at strengthening the back – like weight lifting. (lol!)] Despite having six pockets (two inner and four outer) in my Men’s 2XL long-line denim jacket, I just could not always take everything I felt I needed with me. And this is not meant to be a review of the contents of a “man’s jacket’s pockets” – although this might be an option for the men who hesitate... Read review

Advantages: I just cleared out my bag!
Disadvantages: You all know what's in my bag!!

...I have read a few of these 'What's in my bag?' reviews and finally decided to write one myself! I know how nosy the British public are so I thought I would help you along you way. **MY BAG** I am at University so my bag isn't a handbag - it's a big shoulder bag (I have several handbags too but I don't use them everyday). My Uni bag is large - I bought it from holiday in Turkey - it has a picture of a camel on it! :-) It has one side pocket. Ok - so let's start rummaging through... **TWO FOLDERS** These folders contain some of my University work (sometimes I have upto 4 folders in my bag!! but today it's two!). I don't realy need to explain this one much do I? Oh go on - I will then. They contain lecture notes and assignment note (oh i'll stop there - don't want to bore you before I even start!) **PAPER** A4... Read review

...What's in my bag??? I bought my bag a few months ago as my old bag was falling to pieces, even though it was hard to part from it I am glad I bought this bag. I'm not a girly girl so I don't really like handbags but I like this bag as its perfect for my needs. It's an
