Great bag, Very little room for prosumer and above gear. [Posted on 2008-05-21]
This is a very well designed bag. For what it is, it's great. However, if you have any gear of a prosumer or professional level, this bag's not going to fit much of it. I shoot with a Canon 40D with battery grip, which is a large camera. My primary lens is the 24-70mm L-series, which is also a big lens (not long, but large diameter). Combine these two in the lower compartment, and you barely have room for a flash. If you're really lucky, you might also be able to shove in a small 50mm or similar. The top compartment is reasonably large, but you'll probably end up throwing some gear up there that you couldn't fit in the bottom.
I love this bag, but I'm probably trying to accomplish too much with it. I'm an avid hiker/climber, so the small size and layout are pluses. But, don't expect to take much with you in any great configuration.
Excellent Camera Backpack [Posted on 2008-06-02]
Light and easy to carry with great padding for the camera.
It is a backpack carrier so it takes time to the camera out.., It looks like
a regular backpack.
Great Bag [Posted on 2008-06-15]
I ordered the Bag on Sunday night and had it Tuesday. I used it around the Washington DC Memorials. I had a Canon XT with a Tamron 18-200mm, fit perfect. I also had two other lens in the bottom, still had room for a flash or another lens. In the top part of the bag I had a small towel, a North Face rain jacket and some snack. It works perfect to have everything you need for the day and longer. Looking forward to taking it on a two week trip to Argentina.
Discrete, Comfortable, Protective [Posted on 2008-07-14]
I received this bag several days ago along with my Canon EOS 40D. Yesterday, I packed my camera, a kit zoom lens, a Canon 50mm 1.8 lens, two Rice Krispy treats, a large book and a water bottle into the bag for a trip into Washington DC. When I first shouldered the bag I was surprised by how light it felt and how comfortable it was on my shoulders.
The backpack worked just fine throughout the day, but when I was caught in a horrendous thunderstorm for 20 minutes I was afraid for my camera's safety. When I finally found shelter I checked on each bag compartment and found that each of them was perfectly dry!
The only issue I have found with the bag is that when holding a water bottle in one of the side pockets, it is difficult to fully unzip the camera compartment. This is obviously not a big issue and only proved a mild inconvenience.
In summary:
Pros:
- Comfortable
- Discrete (It doesn't scream "I'm carrying a big expensive camera!")
- Roomy (I fit the "Canon EOS 40D Guide to Digital Photography" and a
few snacks in the extra compartment)
- Protective (The foam walls are thick and sturdy)
Cons:
- Difficult to unzip camera compartment when carrying bottle
- Must unsling bag from shoulder to access camera or lenses
* I'm planning to use this bag for longer trips and I have a
smaller 'holster' style bag for fast camera access.
