I recently upgraded to a Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Home from a Long Schlong (going up for sale when i get enough posts !!!) and i have to say i love it.
It fits everything in my sig (as did my long schlong) but with the added bonus that my Battery Grip + rocket blower + loads more also fits with enough room to fit some more gear if needed in the future.
I got it from photocan and it cost me £60 (+ £13 import tax :'( )

The reason i am posting is to help anyone who has the same amount of kit as me, or less (always a good idea to buy a bag too big for your needs just in case) and loves the way the Crumplers look.
My only gripe is the large net in the flap. It woudl be better if it was different compartments instead of one large pocket, but the pocket at the front makes up for it. It is a great bag that everyone should consider.

Here are some pics :

Those are two of the best things about it.
Very well made, feels quality, and doesnt look like a camera bag.

Do you know if this is aeroplane compatible? I.e are you allowed to carry in onboard?

Jus I'm o to Thailand for 3 weeks in August and well thinking of switching from my AW Mini-Trekker to a shoulder bag as you've just bought! :)

Looks very nice.....

Do you find the load difficult to carry with a shoulder bag?

Im sorry i dont know. What is the criteria, it certeinly seems to be small enough for a plane, but cant be 100%

Not at all. I have now extended the strap and it fits across my body and hangs just below my waist, meaning its very comfortable and easily accessible when i want to whack a new lens on (as it also acts as a very good table when you walk along)

There shouldn't be a problem getting that on a plane. I've had my "Brian's Hottub" as carry on before, which isn't exactly small.

I'm quite tempted by something like this... save lugging the backpack around when I want to travel a bit lighter.
