Case for D10 with dual battery grip

[Economist]

I would very much appreciate advice as to the best case
to contain the D10, with the dual battery grip and with a medium range zoom attached, as well as the 550EX and charger. Thanks

Cases are so specific to the gear you have. It is my opinion that the ONLY way you can get a bag or case that will serve you is to take all your gear to a store and sit down in the bag aisle and play :D :D :D

Hi Economist, I suggest you take a trip to your local camera store and have a look at whats available. I currently have three different styles from Tamrac. One is a backback style and the other is more like soft luggage for those times when I need to take more, as well as a camera holster that attaches to my waist via it's own belt, and holds my 10D with a lens, as well as an exterior pocket for an extra battery or two, and spare compact flash cards. This is about as compact as it gets. There are great bags made by all the major makers, such as LowePro, Domke, Tamrac, and others whose names escape me right now.
The Golden Rule here is to carefully survey how much equipment you'll ever need to bring with you, then add another 50% to the room needed.
Dont forget to look at bags that have plenty of pockets for incidentals such as spare batteries, memory cards, charger(as you mentioned), filters, cleaning supplies, etc.
I think that most of the better bags have interiors that can be reshaped to fit your gear via padding with velcro fasteners. This leads me to exterior padding. Whichever bag you choose, make sure that you feel comfortable with the amount of protection afforded for your expensive equipment.
Hope this gives you some ideas that are useful.
