Amazing bag. As you can see in the review, it holds tons of stuff and I found away to adapt it to carry a laptop with some gear. With the Large Bundle attached, it's easy to throw in a another lens or perhaps a flash. Like Lowepro, Crumpler has loops to attach and other pouches. As I mentioned I fitted my Large Bundle to hold my 430EX or Sigma 10-20. Which ever I don't wish to carry in my main bag. Also I us the Thirsty Al's for such things as camera batteries or my mp3.
Everything! It's made well, feels good, and distributes weight well.
Nothing actually. I was going to sell it to make some money for I got this bag for $70 and can't bring myself to it. I love it so much!

I'm a new user , I bought the 7 million just yesterday, after adjust the baffle, I put all the things in the list into the bag, so good.
Oh, man, what a bag. I finally decided to treat myself to a nice camera bag - I've always used smaller, older bags that I've bought used or at swap meets, and I decided that now was the time to treat myself good. What I had originally become obsessed over was the Crumpler "Geekstar" bag, but they are only available in the United Kingdom, and if I had ordered one, it would have cost me almost double the costs because of shipping, and while I did want to treat myself to a nice bag, spending 60+ dollars just on shipping on top of the price fo the bag simply didn't make sense. So I decided I'd visit my local Cameraland and see what the models in stock where. I was instantly drawn to the 7 Million Dollar Home as soon as I saw it. Some of the other "Million Dollar Home" bags just looked too small, and there was only a small price difference between the "6 Million Dollar Home" and thie 7 Million, so I figured for the extra fifteen bucks, I'd get more space. To start with, this is one swank looking bag. In fact, it looks just like a messenger bag, which is fantastic, because it doesn't look like I'm carting around expensive photography equipment. It simply appears to be a messenger bag. I like that feature.
All kinds of room, padding is really nice, shoulder strap very comfortable, the abililty to have the bag *not* look like a camera bag, lots of extra storage for smaller items like cards, pens, caps, etc
the large netted area on the inside flap could perhaps have a few sections to it, rather than one large holding area. Not a major issue, but it would help seperate items like lens caps and things.

Despite fitting all this gear, the bag does not feel as bulky when compared to the Lowepro Nova 190 AW which fits about the same amount of gear. The Crumpler feels more comfortable to carry around because it’s not as stiff, it’s thinner in profile, and it’s got a fatter better padded strap. It is also a bit taller as well so it fits the 70-200mm F2.8 a whole lot better than the Lowepro. Now to the negatives. The lid is not as secure as the Lowepro, because there is no zipper. The lid is held shut by a strong velcro and a buckle. It’s also not weatherproof, so if it starts raining, you better pray for an umbrella or a plastic bag to wrap around the bag!! Although it has a few flaws, the Crumpler is still a great camera bag. It’s very very very very well made, and fits your gear alot better than the similar sized Lowepro. But best of all, it doesn’t look like a camera bag.
After using Lowepro bags for all my life (5 of them in various size), I’ve decided to make a switch to something which resembles less of a camera bag when I’m lugging my gear around town, and lets face it, MOST camera bags are square, very boring in design, pretty dorky looking and screams to thieves “Rob me I have a camera bag!!!” …LOL. I always knew the quirky Aussie company Crumpler make great bags for Laptops, I even have one which I bought a few year back. But after checking out their site again recently, they have expanded their range to include a few decent camera bags as well. So I went and visited one of their shops at The Strand arcade on Pitt St on the weekend to test out a few.
