I need a place to put my NV-GS100k and the rest of my stuff! I really like Porta Brace, would someone care to make a suggestion... Should I get the CS-DV2/CR2, designed to carry the Panasonic AG-EZ50,35U,30 & EZ1 or should I get the CS-DV2/CR075 designed to carry the NV-MX3000? Thanks for your help!

I've not looked at either of those bags but my GS100 and Canon 10D D-SLR ride in style with a red Lowepro Micro Trekker 200 compliments of B&H ($60 USD).

Chad, bags are a real personal thing. Everyone needs a different size for their cam and gear or just for their cam. Know what I mean? I think that Lowepro makes a bag for everyone and in all shapes and sizes---you should see their catalog! They make basic inexpensive bags to very high-end expensive bags. You should check out what they have. I own 2 Lowpro bags and I am very happy with them. They are all well-made and come with a lifetime warranty.

My wife and I always argue who has the 'bag fetish'.....I will however admit I am a gear bag fanatic and have at least 2-3 bags each made by tamrac, lowepro and domke. Every year, I usually change the contents of each, switching roles as my heart desires. For the moment, my fly fishing tackle resides comfortably in a tamrac photo bag.

Anyway, I am using the DV-2 (no CR2 cradle) and it works great as there is enough room for my point and shoot digicam too. I spoke with a porta brace rep here in VT and said the CR2 cradle is meant for the sony camcorder; he also reassured me that you can always call 'em and arrange to switch your 'cradle' if you find it does not work for you.
