The last time I was a store that sold these was $30. I had just spent $130 on a Crumpler bag.

Just got my $7MH yesterday. It'll definitely fit more than enough for a day out. Might even have room for a water bottle.

B&H. Unfortunately, I just realized that they sent me the $6MH instead of the $7MH. The 6 is actually a tad too small for what I want/need. I just e-mailed B&H for an RMA. We'll see how it goes.

My last order from them had 23 items from 3 different warehouses and they got it all right.

I guess a fluke is bound to happen now and then...

Oh, I'm pretty sure it was a fluke. This is the first time I had any sort of issue with them. They have already issued the RMA, so I'm not too concerned - just so long as they accept the return - which I had already started using before noticing it wasn't the right one.

What happened. From the "tone" of that post, it doesn't sound like it was an amicable split.

You would think Canon would come up with something similar to the Nikon, and then charge $75 for it, although there really aren't any attachment points for it on the 40D.

I think I'm done with high end point and shoots. Many make promising they just can't deliver. I'll get just a regular p&s later this year, but I think more to upgrade my wife's than for me.


edit, just noticed the Canon 870IS is now under $260
