The front and side pockets are sewn tight would be nice if the front pocket had zippered sides as it is only top access. The front flap is also cut a little bit shy so if you stuff this bag to bulging it really doesnt close up well. There could be a little more padding on the exterior walls and bottom. Shoulder strap is not mounted on swivel clips where it attaches to the bag so it has a slight tendancy to twist but I have not found it to be a problem.
Having pointed out these minor items I do think this is a fantastic bag.... and one that does not scream "Hey this bag is full of expensive camera gear... steal me!". I looked at plenty of bags online and at the local big-box stores and am pleased with this choice.

I purchased this bag because I was traveling out of the country to shoot a wedding. My airline allowed me 15 lbs for a carry on, and it had to be certain size dimensions as well. I looked at several bags that were well made and would no doubt provide great protection for the cameras—but they weighed too much. One designed specifically for travel weighed almost 10 lbs (the bag by itself!), which would not allow me to get much equipment into the bag and keep everything under 15 lbs. With the Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Home bag, however, I have been able to pack two full-frame bodies, four lenses, and two flash units and still keep it under 15 lbs.And while the bag isn't bulletproof and I wouldn't really want it to drop straight to the floor from six feet, it is nevertheless quite well padded, and provides more than adequate protection against the kind of normal banging about that I expect.
The interior of the bag is well designed. My stuff goes in and comes out easily and it seems that everything is pretty accessible.
And then there's the look. I was actually a little worried about the possibility that the bag might be too hip for me personally. Well, I've gotten compliments from my daughters. I'm a casual guy, the bag has a nice casual look. I particularly like the fact that it doesn't LOOK like a camera bag.
The size turns out to be perfect not just for long-distance travel but also for work locally. This is now my main bag. I like it a lot.
Tried to think of something negative to say about it to demonstrate my good faith, but I can't.

I am very pleased with this bag, perfect balance between configurability, size, protection and shall I say "style"? It doesn't look like it's a camera bag --which is a great because most camera bags / backpacks look dorky as all hell. Instead it looks like a simple but attractive canvas messenger bag, which keeps potential thieves from noticing that you've probably got valuable camera equipment / technology in there. The inside of the 7 million dollar home is very spacious and has velcro-attached customizable dividers. It can hold a large DSLR camera and a number of lenses. For my purposes it's exactly what I wanted: a versatile bag that lets me say either bring my Canon D60 with battery grip and a few lenses on a big trip (heavy load), or pare things down and just bring the camera with one lens to the park to take pictures of my daughter or walk around all day with my camera (light load), all while being a nice safe, well padded place to keep the camera when it's not in use. The price was excellent! Highly recommend.Honest reviews on Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Home MD-07-14A
I have a smaller and a bigger one. What's great about them is that they are totally normal-not all these crazy clips and meshes to organize god knows what. Just a big padded compartment with moveable pads. You look like a normal human carrying one of these around.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Home MD-07-14A
I can't say enough about this bag! If you want something that it totally utilitarian & descreet, then get this bag.I can comfortably fit a crop camera with battery grip with 70-200 zoom lens attached, facing down. I can fit a standard zoom in a corner pocket, a full-size flash in another, a couple primes, batteries, cables, filters, & more in this.
The strap is comfortable. This is perfect for someone that may be doing street photography or traveling. It's the perfect size. A little smaller than my Lowepro classified 200AW.
The material is like durable canvas & the inside lining is felt lined. The dividers inside are made of felt covered as well, thin, & rubber-padded. They are attached by Velcro & can be removed & configured to your liking.
This bag is totally worth the money. Nothing else out there like it.
