Try a Pelican
 

I have a PD 150 and got a Pelican hard case (1500?) with it. I also take digital stills and like to travel. with the value of the gear I think a hard case is best. Cheap insurance indeed.

The Pelican is watertight (good for canoeing..) and SOLID. The down side is that it weighs a bit more. Not too much and is good insurance.

You can get a foam insert that you can "pluck" to make the shapes you want. I do not like that so went to a craft/fabric shop and bought some high(ish) density foam and cut it to fit. I then carved out the most efficient shapes to hold the pD150 and a Sony 828 digicam, plus tapes, batteries and memory cards. I left the charger out as normally I do not carry it and it would go safely in my regular luggae. By good chance the PD150 charger will also work on the 828.

If you wish I could e-mail you a picture of my set-up.

True, it takes a bit of time to do it right but I have a very usefull and sfe system.

Dylan, it looks like a great cam. I'm guessing by your suggested price that it costs more in Canada? B&H has the Minolta A2 for $729 USD. The vertical battery grip and two genuine Minolta batteries (NP-400) comes to be less than $200 USD.

Sony Np-f930
 

purchased this battery used from B&h by mistake. I actually needed the M series. I got a good price on this ($30), so if anyone needs it they can have it at cost plus shipping. Or if you have an M series battery you don't need we can trade straight up.

Yep. It's much more here in Canada. Last time I checked it was about $1200cdn for the camera at the local camera shops, plus the grip and batteries would come to about $1500cdn, plus taxes would be $1710cdn. So if you look at it that way, $1300cdn is pretty reasonable. That's why I listed it in Canadian dollars. I don't really expect to find an online buyer for my price since there are cheaper outlets for online shoppers. For Canadians who don't want to bring one in from online, it's $400 off the price of a new one.

It would be a better deal for Americans, but your dollar ain't kicking our asses like it used to. :)

Hugh,

If you've still got 'em I'll be happy to take those Fuji tapes off your hands. They're hard to find around here.

You can send the Maxell to someone else. :)

Thanks!

I might be interested in trading an XL1s body without a lens for your setup. That is more than a fair trade value.

Sorry for not responding much sooner. I've been doing a lot of traveling for October and have not been checking this board.

I have an offer for $2150, and am ready to sell unless someone can do better. This is the best offer I have received this week.

This is really a great deal am going with whoever comes through soon.

Please email me if you are seriously interested.
