Good day guys.
I am new to this my first SLR

I just bought

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi (a.k.a. 400D) 10.1 Megapixel, SLR, Digital Camera Body (Black) With 1-Year USA Warranty
Sigma New! 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG Macro SLD Autofocus Lens
Sigma NEW! 28-70mm f/2.8-4 DG Compact High Speed Aspherical Zoom Autofocus Lens

I was leaning twords a Crumpler bag like a 5 or 6 MDH

I do not want somthing so big. smaller the better in my option
if i have the 28-70mm leans on the camrea and the 70-300 in the side what bag would fit this? again i do not want somthing super big a just a nice fit and well protected.

If you can suggest somthing other then crumpler but same type of style as the MDH

any suggestion would be great looking to order realy soon next day or so.

oo yha if you know of a good place to order that would be great also

Take a look at the Domke F-3x (http://www.tiffen.com/displayproduct.html?tablename=domke&itemnum=700-30S) or F-803 (http://www.tiffen.com/displayproduct.html?tablename=domke&itemnum=701-83S). B&H or Adorama usually have them.

Jon thanks for the suggestion

I wanted a bag that i can keep one of the lens on.
i like the look of the 803 but from the pics seems you need to store with out lens.

The f3x seems small comapct but looks more like a camrea bag.

You can fit the body with one lens at one end of the bag, the other lens at the other (or in the middle, depending on your lens) and have 1/3 of the main compartment free for other stuff like a flash. I have the F-802 into which I fit 2 bodies, 24-70 L and 70-200 2.8 IS L on them, a 15-30 mm Sigma and a flash. Then an ultra portable computer, batteries and cards in the front pockets. Bags of room.
