Conclusion: nice bag, but doesn't hold anywhere near what it says
Review: Its a nice bag if you don't have larger lenses. Its rated to hold 1-2 bodies and 7-10 lenses. I currently have a 40D/grip, 580EX II, 70-200 f/2.8L, 28-135IS, and then tamrons 28-70 2.8 and 17-35 lenses. thats full to the max. I contacted Canon to find out what lenses it was rated for, they considered the 17-35 lens even to be larger than what it was designed for. They designed it and rated it for two bodies, no grips, no external flashes, and the lenses are all small prime lenses like the 28, 24, and 50mm's. They couldnt list 10 different focal length lenses that would fit in the bag...so why do they say that? I had to special order this bag from my shop, so there are no returns, and Canon is sticking to their word that it holds what they say so they are doing anything about it either.
If you can live with the camera/grip, flash and 4 lenses, then its a great bag, but if you are getting it to hold anywhere near the gear its rated for, go with something else. If anyone wants mine, just email me...im selling it on here for cheap now.

Conclusion: What I expected
Review: Lots of compartments. Big enough for a 40D and seveal lenses plus manuals and other trinkets. Quality constructon. Rugged. Was a toss-up between a backpack and this bag... Still thinking about the backpack.

Conclusion: Awesome Bag!
Review: Just received the Canon 1EG Gadget Bag for my new Rebel Xsi and I absolutely LOVE IT! Everything has a place with lots of padding and protection. Many zipper pouches for holding extra batteries, memory cards, etc. I much prefer this to the backpack and hard case I bought for my last Rebel. I highly recommend this bag to anyone wanting something that will hold and protect their camera and accessories.
Evaluation:
Conclusion: Best Overall
Review: This bag has a large exterior and a massive interior. I carry a Rebel XTi and a Panasonic camcoder plus extra batteries for both. Cards and batteries in the outside bags as well as chargers and cables for both cameras. Heavy canvas and strong zippers and clasps make this bag a great carry bag well worth $80 if you want protection and carry capacity.
Evaluation:
Conclusion: too short - too little
Review: This is a fairly nice bag - if you don't have any large lenses. I have a Canon 5d with 24 - 105, a Canon 100-400 lens, a Canon 50mm, and a Canon 580ez flash -- there is no way to get these items in the bag and keep them readily available for use.
