Hmm - will prices go up or down. Been a fan of Lowepro camera bags for a while now. Had three, my first to my current, they are expensive enough as it is, would hate to see a price increase. I have felt that thier bags have lacked a little in external features such as the tripod straps, maybe this merging will add some enhancement in this space to adapt the tripods better.
