I finally got my shipment from the camera store with my new Sinking Barge backpack. It is awesome! I can carry my camera in a nice padded compartment in the bag. It has a laptop slot, and a small amount of room for a book or two or other carry ons. I am very happy with this bag already. I can use it as a day-bag which means I'll have my camera with me more often than before. Maybe that'll mean I'll have more photos to upload to flickr!
