China Eastern Airline's baggage policy experience... Anyone?

I've a flight on China Eastern from Shanghai to Delhi in economy. For cabin bag weight/peice limit, I did some searching around, and found from http://www2.flychinaeastern.us/ctva781/tripPrepara... the following: "Economy Class - 7kg (15 lbs)"

Now my question is to those who had flying experience on this airline:

Are they too strict on baggage? I've one roller bag with my laptop, that should fit under 7 kgs. But I've another cabin bag for both my SLR camera and lens, and a camcorder.

These items cannot be kept in my checked bag due to obvious safety issue. Also their website doesn't says if they allow other bags like camera bags, etc.

When I called their office in US, the agent was very impatient to hangup on me & barely told that the cabin weight limit is only 4.9 kgs. So I'm confused.

Do you think I'll be able to carry my rolling laptop bag and another camera bag (as described above) without being forced to either check in one of the item or pay excess baggage?

Update:

I did talk to the nearest local office like I mentioned. Just that they were not helpful and the lady was very impatient to hangup.

In any case what I'm looking for here is some actual experiences.

    I even have traveled plenty on China airways and that i've got on no account had my carry-ons weighed, so which you will desire to be ok, i'm stunned on the low worldwide weight decrease, i presumed interior China you get a minimum of 20kg, so, i'm stunned to work out their worldwide limits are extreme low
