Was wandering around Bic Camera in Sapporo with barely enough time to catch the train back, and ended up impulse-buying the Supreme SS from Etsumi (4780 JPY) for my Panny GH1.
Great little bag, actually! Fits the GH1 + an extra lens (or my wallet + a battery + my filter case) perfectly in the main compartment. The front pocket fits filters, batteries, pens (with dedicated pockets)… whatever. The flap over the front pocket can fit memory cards. The right side pocket can fit a cellphone, iPod, or ultra-compact camera. The left side has a water bottle holder that zips up and out of the way. There’s also a flat velcro pocket on the back.
It’s all nicely padded, with a hard bottom and dense foam padding along the sides, so should protect my gear nicely. And I like the looks of it enough to even just use it as a mid-sized casual bag. I’d been considering the black Golla SLR bag, but the Golla bags are bigger, have softer padding, and kooky patterns on the front flap that I’m not exactly crazy about. The Etsumi bag meets my requirements of 1) fitting my camera and a few other things perfectly, 2) being water resistant, 3) having a bunch of useful pockets, and 4) not screaming “I’M FULL OF EXPENSIVE GEAR!!”
