I got my Christmas gift from my Warden, slightly earlier than expected. Yes, the Kata DC 443 camerabag. It is actually a free gift from subcribing to 13 months of Practical Photography, which Warden paid for when I told her about the deal. The retail price of the bag is pretty close to the subscription price of the magazine, and since I needed a camerabag, it is an excellent Christmas present 
Kata’s camerabag is able to carry the DSLR body, lenses, flashgun and other accessories. The cushioned dividers can be customized to fit the shape and size of your gear – a DSLR, two lenses and a flashgun will fit comfortably. There is even a built-in raincover that offers protection from the elements and folds away neatly into a pouch – very handle for the rainy Singapore weather.
Now I can carry my DSLR around without getting weird looks from Singaporeans, who seem to think anyone carrying a large camera around is some sort of pervert! For those interested, you can head over to Kata’s website to have a look at their range of products.

Wow .. what nice bag it is! Man, I really need one for my travel. And I need some wheels.
You know, you and I will fit very well in Hong Kong. Here, EVERYONE is carrying a dSLR. I have seen plenty of D90 and D700 on the street. I certainly don’t feel out of place at all here. And neither will you!

Wow! It’s the Nikon versus Canon war?

Wilfrid, yes I am very happy with the bag. Now I just need more accessories to go with it
I am sure there are lots of people using DSLRs in Hong Kong. They are a bunch of trend setters, and electronics are supposed to be cheaper there! Get me a pin-sharp lens from HK please!
Yeah Canon users… you can whack them on the head with our Nikons and our cameras will still work. They are built like bricks

CSC, join the Nikon club! You will not regret it!

Looks good!
Think nowadays, it’s common to see people (esp bloggers) carrying cameras everywhere they go…For me, i only have my camera handphone with me to take the shots. My camera “died” already. Hope to get one soon.

I have always wanted a SLR but well… I am still borrowing my sister’s point and shoot.
I guess priorities. You know, spending and all!

CSC, depending on the uses, a good point-and-shoot can also suit your needs. I am still holding on to my Canon Powershot G7 as backup. It’s still pretty good.
