Thanks for the replies. Godfrey and Thibouille, I'll go looking for a case for the K10D. I've been thinking nothing was out there to fit it. Thanks for the suggestions. My desire is to travel much like Godfrey suggested, laptop w/power adaptor, K10D, 3-4 lenses & flat bag packed in a rolling bag for the airport. Regards, Bob S.
