When I asked for camera bag recommendations over at dpreview.com I was first recommended the DH 50 V2.0 holster type bag from Think Tank.

Next next suggested bag was the Sling-O-Matic 20 - also from Think Tank.

The third recommendation I got was for the Tamrac 5788 Evolution 8.

While the Sling-O-Matic is a sling bag that can also work as a backpack the Tamrac is the other way around - it's a backpack with side access which means it can be used as a sling bag.

It doesn't look like it will hold my 70-200mm with the hood attached, so I wouldn't be able to use it as a sling bag, but it looks like a very rugged bag that I would feel comfortable keeping my gear in.

I've added the Tamrac to a page with the other camera bag recommendations

It's beginning to be a little bit tedious.

When I ordered my 5D Mark III on the 15th of May the estimated delivery date was May 23.

On May 22 the estimated delivery date was changed to June 8.

On June 4 this date was once again postponed - this time they claim June 15.

I know I've said I'm not in a hurry, but now I'm also beginning to see other camera shops in Denmark list the camera as being in stock - and that annoys me.

It puzzles me that they can have the Mark III in stock while the one I ordered 3 weeks ago looks like it won't even arrive at the store until sometime next week.
