Crumpler 5 Million Dollar Home Shoulder Bag for Compact Digital SLR Camera, Navy /Rust

Evidently Crumpler has changed this version of the 5 million dollar bag. For example, there is velcro on the underside of the top flap, but no corresponding velcro patch where it mates to the bag. Instead, a plastic buckle is provided. After having checked out you tube reviews of the bag, I found this version does not seem to hold the identical items others show as fitting in their older bags. In retrospect, I should have gone with a used model, which had superior design.

I own the previous version of the 5 Million Home, purchased in Feb-2013 and I LOVE the bag. I ordered this one since it was the "new" version, and it totally blows. It is about 15% smaller than the previous model, it only has one center latch and 1 center velcro, where the other one had two latches and velcro in the corners. The zip up pocket on the inside cover is gone, the new dividers are thin flimsy material and the overall bag feels cheap compared to the previous model. Do yourself a favor and skip this bag, get a used one of the previous version, Crumpler should be embarrased that they even produced this one to replace a legend

I bought the Crumpler 5 Million Dollar Home Shoulder Bag to hold my Canon EOS M and lenses but on vacation I put my Canon 60D with Sigma 17-70 and carried a Canon 55-250, charger and 270EX II flash. The bag is well made the perfect size for vacationing.

I have long admired Crumpler's attitude and creativity, such as their "Bags for Beer promotion". I'm in the process of reducing my photo load and this bag forces me to restrict my equipment, yet big enough to be reasonably versatile. It holds a mirrorless 4/3rds camera with 4" lens attached, a 12mm w/a lens, flash, spare battery, spare memory card, and 4 filters. The bag has a broad comfortable strap that rests well across the shoulders, fixed partitions in the main carry area, which I like, a full length pouch under the cover that will accept 1" thick objects without over stuffing, it is well padded and appears well shielded from the weather. The only problem I am experiencing is, the cover also covers the snap mechanism to open the bag, if the snap mechanism were just below the cover it could be intuitively grasped and squeezed without thinking or looking. The decision to place the snap under the cover may well have been an aesthetic one. Hopefully I will overcome this with time and use. Others who try to carry this bag on a single shoulder above the bag may find it slips off easily and often, there is no padded shoulder grip on the shoulder strap. As you can see from the 5 stars I give it I consider the cons very minor. This bag suits my purposes quite well.

Great Bag! Simply, a very well-designed camera bag. It works great if you're looking to carry a DSLR w/ lens attached, an extra prime lens, & a battery charger. It should all fit in there just fine. My setup includes a Nikon D7100, a Nikkor 18-200mm lens, a Nikkor 35mm prime, & Nikon charger. My only qualms with this bag is that w/ the D7100 + 18-200 lens, it sits a little high in the bag. If I took out all of the inserts & put in the camera (w/ 18-200mm lens attached) side-ways, it sits at a depth I'm more comfortable with, but doesn't allow me to keep the prime lens & charger in there. Also, it does not hold my SB-400 flash in addition to the above mentioned equipment. That being said, I'm probably going to go w/ the 6 Million Dollar Home just because I like a little more room & depth to the bag. It's really a quality bag though! Highly recommended!

This item is amazingly compact and fits my D5100, 18-300mm Nikon lens and 10-24mm Nikon lens. Remote and extra battery. Love this item and surprisingly my wife really thought it was a great purchase which made me very happy!

I agree with previous review that it could use a side small pocket (or 2) Which is why 4 stars. But for a day trip with just an extra lens or two, this is a light weight well padded bag fit the bill perfectly and does not scream Camera Bag! The internal space accommodates my cannon rebel with lens attached; adjustable inserts allow for more items. I have had crumpler bags in the past (not for camera). They are fantastic. Strong hardware and durable design/fabric and comfortable strap that can be shortened or lengthened. I've looked at a lot of casual bags in this price range and I was not disappointed. I got the plain back and it was a bright red interior. I'm very happy with the purchase

Ok, so let me give you the skinny on this super dope camera bag. These guys have been making super well thought out camera bags for years. While I liked their functionality, their style wasn't really my thing. I really dug the new look though, so I went for the superman style red and blue. First off, the bag feels great on, and the neoprene handles are super comfy. I love that the zipper pocket on the back has a bright teal pull that's easy to see even in poorly lit situations. The Velcro silencers inside are super user friendly and to be honest I love the fact that bag has very little Velcro within the bag. Now for the inside of the bag! There is a front pocket with a snap button. I don't find this all that useful for the gear I carry, but at least I can stuff my keys and wallet in there. One thing that does bum me out is that older versions had two pockets on the side. They looked perfect for housing cables and other random doo-dads. The dividers are super easy to adjust and cushion your gear nicely. For camera gear I carry a 100mm, 50mm, 28-135mm and a 60D, yup, I get it all in there. If you had larger bodies and telephoto lenses then look elsewhere. They just won't fit. I recommend this bag to anyone that is serious about photography and wants something different.
