Ooh, looks similar to Canon's design.

What's the price tag on that bag, Greg? It really looks nice. Modern/urban -like.

It's called the "Dakine Mission Photo" backpack. They go for $125.00 but this website: http://www.ebags.com/dakine/mission_photo/product_detail/index.cfm?modelid=112036 has it on sale right now for: $100.00

The color scheme I got is called "Black Chop Shop". If you search on google "Dakine Mission Photo" you will find all sorts of color schemes and designs as they had a bunch out last year, this year I think they only have three designs, still the same bag as last years, just changing the designs, etc.

***Do not think your getting some awesome deal and go buying the ones you see that are like $40-$60 bucks, your just buying the backpack. The ones that are $88-$110 varying on the website are the ones that have the camera bag insert, see pic below to see what im talking about, the small block goes into the backpack.
The smaller photo bag goes inside the backpack -

Thats the bag, but it doesnt have the photo block in it, http://www.dakine.com/ski/packs/photo/camera-block/ Which you can buy seperately if you buy one that doesnt have it within the backpack already. So you would still have to buy the photo block to put in that one. But I am sure you can google around and find that design you like with the photo block already in it.

They also make a larger photo bag called the Dakine Sequence:
(photo block is the same though that goes in the sequence, you just getting more room for other storage space)

It's more expensive then the mission.

Do you know what "cu in" means? :chuckles:

Greg, what model is yours or is it just the same bag with different styles? Cubic inches?
