This is NOT your ordinary Camera Bag!

(scroll down to the next post for the My Memories Suite Blog Train...)

Today I received an Epiphanie Camera Bag from my hubby for my birthday.  I knew it was coming via UPS and could hardly wait. Usually I don't get so excited about these things, but I've been getting very tired of wrapping a dish towel around my camera and throwing it in my purse in order to NOT have to carry around my boring old black camera bag.

Just opening the box was cause for excitement.  This bag is awesome!  

The inside of the bag is a beautiful robin egg blue.  It's completely padded with padded velcro sections to protect all your gear.  It has has many nice zippered compartments to help keep your things organized.

Now does this even look like a camera bag?

I was a little worried that my 4 lb Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 lens wouldn't fit in the bag.  If that would have been the case, cute bag or not, I would have been returning it tomorrow.  It fits!  Not standing upright, but lying down length wise with even a couple of inches to spare.  I can also fit my SLR body, 105mm f/2.8 macro lens, 28-200mm f/3.5 lens and my speedlight.  Wow - now it's getting heavy.  I couldn't resist weighing this thing loaded and with the gear mentioned it's 10 lbs! This makes the unexpected super padded shoulder strap a very welcome bonus.  I'm SO looking forward to using this great bag!

When my daughter saw the bag she IMMEDIATELY thought it was a bag for her American Girl Bitty Twins because "holy moly mommy - the inside matches the Bitty's camping outfits PERFECTLY!"  She grabbed her dolls and some accessories and threw them in the bag as fast as she could.  I almost felt bad telling her it wasn't a new bag for her - almost!

I hope you are out capturing some special moments today!  ~ Mary
