 Great Overall September 18, 2008
Overall I found the crumpler to be a very compact and easy to carry bag. It fits my XSI and the kit lens plus a bunch of little things very well. Really the issues I have with it is that I wish there was some sort of padding for the strap; the strap is hard and can feel like its cutting into your neck. Second, I wish it was a little bigger, but the compactness is still very welcome.
Great camera bag without the obvious camera bag look July 10, 2008
I looked at quite a few websites and stores for a camera bag that didn't actually look like one. I have been very pleased with the bag after the benefit of having taken it on a few trips to use with my Nikon D40 with stock and 55-200mm lenses. It has plenty of room for both, and I was even able to squeeze in a mini-tripod, so it does have plenty of space for a decently outfitted DSLR. The internal zippered pockets provide a good place to stash thin items such as memory cards and an extra battery. The bag is stylish enough that it can accessorize just like a messenger bag, although it is a bit bulkier than the typical messenger bag.
The only caveat I have is the cost-benefit ratio. This is probably a $40-50 bag, with the $30-40 premium paid for style. I was willing to pay that premium, and happy I did, but those looking for the biggest bang for the buck should look elsewhere.
On the go photography June 18, 2008
Perfect bag for on the go photography. Not as bulky as traditional photo back packs. Plush lining. Strong velcro closure.
My contents: Nikon D80, 70-135mm lens, 50 mm lens, SB600, Picture porter.
Kind of a tight squeeze, but works just perfect.
 Great camera bag for something that doesn't look like a camera bag May 17, 2008

I had the Crumpler 5 Million Dollar bag when I was using my Nikon D70. It could hold the body along with the kit lens (18-70), a 55-200 VR lens and an SB-800 flash if you give it a little nudge.
I like Crumpler bags because they don't scream "expensive camera gear inside". The padding is pretty good, but not as good as Lowepro or Tamrac bags of similar size.
The front velcro flap is HUGE... which means, opening up the bag can be loud if you are in a quiet environment.
The outside pockets, well, its there, but I found that when your bag is packed full of gear, there isn't much slack left in the front pockets to hold much of anything.
Last thing is, Crumpler bags are expensive compared to other domestic brands.
