Joe Schmo: Hey that’s a very professional looking camera there! Me: Thank you, yes it is. Joe Schmo: How many megapixels is it? Me: 4. Joe Schmo: Wow 40?! Me: No, 4 megapixels total.

So after finding the perfect shoulder camera/laptop bag, the National Geographic NG-2475, and then having to return it because it couldn’t fit my 15.4″ MacBook Pro, fortunately Bogen (yes, the same company that makes tripods) makes a slightly larger version: the National Geographic NG-2477.
