I think they aer noly sold directly from there.
I can't advise on 'shootsacs' but I've been using a bag I bought from the Next Directory for £15 a while back. Works a treat. (Fits two 1D's one with 17-35 2.8 and other 70-200 2.8 - one is being used to take photos)
This is how it looks. Blu-ray as a divider and thats it.
If your a pansy and want to pad it up... Two thin paperbacks and a tatty scarf at the bottom.
It looks fine for the street (this is filled with the first set-up (the one I personally use))
Gear hasn't died yet so it works as far as I can see...

How is that any different to any other messenger-style bag?
(I don't have sound at work, if the video explained the amazing difference I'm missing visually)
It is a messenger bag, but with neoprene padding and "pockets" to keep your lenses in. My kind of bag in fact, other than the messenger part...
Good idea but easily made at home IMO, cheap messenger bag, a few strips of Neoprene and some fabric and thread, just sew the neoprene inside the messenger bag and use the fabric to make the pockets. Voila!
I agree with her, most camera bags sold in the UK have two main problems, they look like camera bags and they are way too bulky for anything byt secific camera trips. The US also has a couple of what seem to be really good nature/landscape bag makers as well that are lightweight and can carry your hiking/camping equipment and camera gear.
The old man has that. He's too old to be carrying stuff in uncomfy bags like this. Plus he'd look a plonker dressed like me (students ***
)I use a vertex at the circuit. A peli if I'm carrying lot's and I'll be stationary for the day. This bag is for everyday excursions. I borrowed the RedSnapper thingy to take equipment on a hiking trip (I removed the padded compartment and but that in the top of the bag with the weather cover over it) and I decided to review it at the same time...
Working with the 'next' bag is much better.
See solution above - pansies need two paper backs, a blu-ray case and a funky scarf.

The shootsac is not a camera bag. It is a shoot bag, as in you will only use that on the day of the shoot. You do not store you gear in there during other times. The idea being you hold your camera with 1 lens in your hand, have the shootsac with you and in it with 2 to 3 of your favourite lenses and may be bits and pieces. That's it.
Jessica Claire (the designed) is a world renowned wedding photographer. So one would pack their entire gear, in something bigger, take that to the shoot, then put your favourite bits in the shootsac and leave the main case in the hotel room or the car. The shootsac kinda folds against your hip, it doesn't stick out and each lens is separately stored so they don't clunk against each other. There is no room in there for a camera with lens attached.
It'll probably come to £150 after delivery with a design that I want....I would have got one by now if it weren't so expensive.

, but a properly made one would be a bit easier when taking lenses in and out. Either way I use a spare T-shirt and fleece to protect my lenses in my bags, no way am I lugging a badly designed over weight camera bag round when i'm walking anywhere more than the town centre!
Make your own, like I said above it is almost certainly very easy to do, and you caan choose almost any design you want.
