The black/gun metal 7 Million Dollar Home Bag from Crumpler is slightly larger than their 6 Million Dollar Home Bag but still remains a get-around shoulder bag designed to hold a standard DSLR camera and lenses plus accessories like an extra battery and memory cards. The tough 900-Denier exterior fabric is water-resistant and is complimented by a brushed padded nylon interior that is constructed not to hurt the finish of your equipment. The inside of the bag can be configured by using the movable touch fastened dividers.
The bag is held in shape by its EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) laminated base while the entire bag is protected by a large front flap that is secured with rugged tri-glide buckles. The adjustable, wide 50mm (2") shoulder strap with its anti-slip pad or the EVA and ergonomically shaped padded carry handle make toting it around comfortable. For added functionality, the touch fasteners have been designed to be silent by utilizing a silencer flap on the underside that is designed not to attract attention when you open the bag in public. No more of that "ripping" sound when the touch fasteners are engaged. As an added feature, the 7 Million Dollar Home Bag gives you a pair of side accessory loops on which you can attach other photo gear - perhaps a cleaning cloth, media card holder or mini tripod.
There are two extra side stuff pockets that you'll appreciate since you will not have to open the entire bag to reach their contents. For all sorts of smaller accessories, there's an additional internal zippered mesh pocket. This is a rugged street bag created to meet the demands of people who need a durable shoulder bag that holds your gear with a maximum of protection.

Comments about Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Home Bag (13.6 x 11 x 8.27", Black/Gun Metal):
I think this is the perfect camera bag for my style of photography! Before this, I've always used the backpack/slingpack style bags but found that it was just too cumbersome to access my equipment. I decided to try this shoulder bag for my "on-the-go" setup and was delighted to find that it is well-suited to be my "all-the-time" bag. Here are some of the highlights:
(1) It holds much more gear than I ever imagined it would without being excessively large. In it I carry a Canon 5D Mark II with a battery grip and Really Right Stuff L-plate attached, a Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L (mounted on body), Canon 70-200 f/2.8L with tripod collar and Really Right Stuff plate, Canon 17-40 f/4L, lens hoods for all lenses, Canon 580EX II flash, Lee Foundation Kit, three 4x6 filters and two circular filters, and many other accessories. There's still room to spare for more accessories if need be.
(2) Very easy to access all of the gear quickly.
(3) Relatively light compared to the Lowepro backpacks because the weight is SO well-distributed. I can easily pick it up by the attached handle, and it sits perfectly flat on the floor when I put it down. Very well-balanced and doesn't topple over.
(4) Comfortable strap
(5) Sturdy construction
(6) The velcro silencers are awesome for times when you need to work quietly (weddings especially).
(7) Inconspicuous, so it doesn't stand out to potential thieves.
(8) Sleek and stylish design
The only downside is that it's fairly expensive, but you get what you pay for. I absolutely LOVE this bag and I think I'll be using it for a long time to come!

Comments about Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Home Bag (13.6 x 11 x 8.27", Black/Gun Metal):
I needed a good grab-n-go bag in addition to my rolling gear bag. This bag is just right for carrying a few lenses, CF cards, flash and the body. I don;t expect it always hold everything. That's what my other case is for. But once I'm on location, I park my rolling case and grab the equipment I'll need and I'm good and mobile w/o having to go back and forth to the big case.
