    After purchasing and using recently, this is a very nice camera backpack for the occasional or “lite-use” photographer.

    After having too many difficulties using a regular camera bag hiking and climbing steep terrain or mountain biking rail trails in the Cascades, this bag solved my problem. It’s small, light weight, durable, and attractive. I especially like the opening in the top for the camera to be placed in as it provides easy access for needing the camera for a quick shot. (I originally planned on a “sling” backpack but did not find that attractive nor comfortable and did not think it would work well while mountain biking.) It has several small compartments and straps on the side that can easily hold a light weight tripod or even a jacket, windbreaker, cap, etc. It’s insulated and “spongy” in case of minor falls, and the bag stands straight up when placing on the ground. It has lots of little zippered compartments for spare batteries, chargers, memory cards, filters, etc., and I also carry a smaller compact camera or video camera as well that fits perfectly in the outer zippered compartment on the back.

    My only drawback is there are no compartments on the inside itself as in more professional camera bags and that means every thing has to sit loose on the inside sitting on top of each other with no padding or compartments in between to pad or isolate equipment from each other. I carry a 70-300 zoom lens and while it fits on the side with the elastic straps, the upper strap is not low enough to hold it firmly on the top — even with the zoom extended in the longer position. The little mesh elastic bag on the outside of the case is described as being able to hold light things such as water, but a full water bottle will not last long in there under repeated use and normal wear and tear. Water however can be easily carried on the inside of the bag if you only have one zoom lens on one of the two sides. There is little to no room for non-camera equipment such as lunch, snacks, the “10 essentials” or anything else.

    Overall, this is a perfect camera backpack for those who only carry a camera and few accessories. It’s also ideal for biking rail trails, carrying light tripods on the side up to waterfalls or viewpoints, or those who need a light weight pack. It’s also very affordable compared to the others. I simply needed something light and easy and the very, very overpriced others out there are simply excessive. If you are serious into outdoor photography and have multiple lenses, accessories, supplies, and so on, this bag is not for you.

    I have tried many camera bags but this is by far the best. It actually stands up loaded and you can really put a lot of stuff into it, if you use the space wisely. I travel with it and have no problems. Easy access and decent size without being overly large will make it your favorite. I have a digital SLR camera, flash, telephoto, second pocket camera, small tripod, remote control, extra batteries, extra SD cards, plastic bags (rain covers), lens cleaner pen, camera battery charger, usb cable, and handbook in this case. I can easliy strap my larger tripod to the side if needed. It is grab and go.

  4. I bought this bag for vacation travel to carry my Canon 40D with a 28-135mm lens and additional 70-300mm lens. On a recent trip, I also stored two collapsible lens covers, sunscreen and bottled water inside the bag. I still had room for battery charger, memory cards, cables, etc.

    The fabric on the zippered flap seems to be lower quality as the rest of the bag and the elastic straps inside the bag that secure the lens aren’t well placed, but over all this is a great bag and well worth the money. The size was also perfect for what I needed.

    great purchase…better price than what I found at Wal-Mart. It was delivered in the time that they said…less than 5 days, I believe. I would definitely say “buy” on this one!
