Canon really do themselves a disservice with that kind of response. And especially as it's supposedly the "Professional" support network. I've told you about Canon in the UK before, their pro support is all but non-existent. I don't understand it.

Can't tell you how well-timed this is Matt. Well, I can actually :)

I was looking at these yesterday and very nearly bought one for the same reasons you did. I didn't though, simply because I'm in the market for a few items of new gear and thought I'd search online first.

I've crossed the North Face duffle off my list. Thanks for pointing it out. And shabby customer service from North Face. Tut tut. I'll think twice before investing in their gear.
