A quick search on Google gets some hits for the Fidelity Versa Bag, but most sites look to be 10 USD more for it.

This one has the brown and black ones available in large; but the shipping looks to be pretty high to USA.
Fidelity Electronics - Canadian PhotoGraphic

This one just has the black one.
Fidelity Electronics, Inc. Large Versa Black Digital Camera Bag

A Better Business Bureau reliability report about DataVis. The part about "Consumers report to the BBB that Data Vision Computer sells used products as new products and rebates and warranties are not honored by the company" makes me wonder about them though.

For the Canadian PhotoGraphic, it doesn't say whether Canadian or US dollars.

Given that it doesn't have an option to change, I'd assume it's Canadian dollars.

just received my brown bag

I tried to order the black but they were unavailable. So, I ordered one brown & one red. Nice bags for the price. The Red bag uses a pale blue lining that is easy to see things against but might tend to show any dirt immediately. Come to think, that might not be so bad...........

I'd love to see how the red one looks with pictures.

Bag came in the mail yesterday and I must say I really like it. It has enough room to carry my gear and doesn't scream out "STEAL ME!" to anyone passing by. I'm a fairly big guy and it's pretty comfortable to wear. It took me a while to figure out how I wanted to customize the inserts in the bag but I think I have it for now; though my opinion may change and then I'll have to reconfigure it all over again. I'd have liked a few more inserts though, I had to borrow an insert from another bag to get it the way I wanted. Tip of the hat to maxwell1295 for sharing the information on this bag.

Mine came in too! Really nice for the money. Thanks Max!

Anyone else have an opinion on how loud the velcro is?

it's quite loud, but if i'm on a shoot that needs silence i'll just stick one of the smaller padded dividers on the velcro patch on the front of the bag.

Wouldn't that be good as it would be some kind of alarm that would get your attention if somebody else was going through your bag??

Any more additional photos of the black bag or the red one?
The brown bag photos was on the money but I can't still imagine the black one as the photo was either washed out by the flash or over exposed or that was just how it looked.
The beige color was kinda different from all the photos though.
Thanks still for the posts of the photos though, really appreciate it!

anywhere selling these on ebay or something with cheaper international shipping? $72CAD is a bit steep to send an unbreakable item via the post to AU

Got the bag a few days back. Thank you Max for letting us know about this! I am finding it very difficult to decide on arranging stuff. I would appreciate if some of you took pics with arrangement of dividers.
