why do you say that?

My local lidl generally doesn't get stuff available until the day...

Might have to take a trip to my "local" one tomorrow. Good chance to test out our new Sat-Nav. Tempted by the 21" TV too! never heard of the make, but at that price!

I saw 21" flat screen tv's in the Co-op yesterday for the same price, £79.99

I just bought one - it seems about the same size as the hama, but has a lot more (and I mean a lot more!) pockets (and many are padded).

It also has a shoulder strap, a rain cover and a tripod holder.

I've counted 8 zipped pockets including the expandable side pocket with a total of 17 compartments plus the main camera carrying section, which has dividers to make 9 compartments.

There are adjustable loops on the outside to fix a tripod to, a handle and removable shoulder strap.

Build quality looks fine even if all the fixing are plastic

I think it's well worth the £19 you have to pay including VAT.
Oh yes they had plenty at 12.00 this afternoon in the Bolton store, so would think you get one tomorrow if you want one.

wheres the rain cover ? Haven't find mine in all these pockets.

[whiteflyer]

The rain cover is in a zipped pocket on the bottom of the bag.

Right at the bottom I think! I got lost in mine for about 2 hours!

Really? you meen flat screen? or TFT/LCD/Plasma?

[Keltic Ice Man]

Oh I got one too :D

not got a clue what most of the attachments might be for

[Steep]

Really? you meen flat screen? or TFT/LCD/Plasma?

silly billy, if it had been LCD I'd have bought them all and they'd be on eBay right now :)

[leoedin]

Does anyone know what the loops on the side without the pocket are for? Do you think they're similar to sliplock or whatever?

Anyway - it seems to be a very nice bag. I really like the rain cover, although its slightly tricky to get on.

They had plenty in my local as well - at least 5 or so, and I doubt they'll sell fast. How many photographers go to lidl anyway - most of them are too obsessed with how much it cost to go below £50...

Got myself two of these, had to be done, got to say bloody impressed for the money.
