Cheap Messenger Bag for My E-PM2

Bought this bag from Challenger Bugis for SGD 12.9 and i must say it is not too bad. Initially i was thinking this will be temporary bag while i wait for the arrival of my Lowepro bag but after use it for few times, i think this can be my alternate bag for my camera also.

The front of the messenger bag

The back of the messenger bag. There is a zip pocket that you can store thing securely.

The main compartment inside the messenger bag, there are 3 padded partitions (2 long and 1 short) that you can adjust for your preference. The space is definitely more than sufficient for E-PM2 and few lenses.

There are 2 front pockets for storing more stuff. This is the first pocket. 

The second front pocket got holder for pen, for small HP and also a small zip pocket. These 2 front pockets are actually quite tight and you can only put something thin inside.

The E-PM2 in front of the bag, you can roughly gauge the size for this bag.

This messenger bag serves the purpose and with this pricing, i think it is worth it.I usually have no problem carry my E-PM2 with lenses such as Sigma 19mm, 30mm and also Panasonic 45-175mm and i can even use one compartment for water bottle ( i know is probably not advisable but just have to make sure i close the cap properly for my water bottle). You can find out more information from this link.

Olympus E-PM2 for 498 in Singapore

Bought this from the COMEX show today. The price is SGD 498 (~USD 391) and come with one extra original battery, one 8GB SD card, case and one China made tablet. With just the price itself, i think is a bargain as US price is actually USD 449 and it is so rare to see that Singapore price is actually cheaper compare to US after conversion.

Free gifts. Probably the most useful free gift is the extra original battery. The case is very big and seems like is for the E-PLx or E-Px type of camera. The card is only class 4. The tablet is china made tablet running on single core processor, 512MB RAM and 8GB space, not fantastic but still usable, just have to tolerate some lagging. (3 August 2014 update: Basically i never use the tablet now as it is really lag, my regret on getting this free gift, maybe should try fight for other free gift next time)

p.s. The price is still 498 at Courts online website with free 8GB SD card and case.

27 Oct 2013 update: The online deal is no longer available but i did see deal at Courts Tampines where it is advertised as SGD 438. If the deal is not a gimmick, it is indeed a very nice price. But looking at that price, i do feel that the price might get lower in the future.
