 Two Cameras, Three Lenses, A Flash Unit, and more room January 5, 2006

The backpack camera bag is impressive in that is was designed to be a real hiking pack. It has the sleeve through which a waist belt can be run. It has the clips to hold the shoulder straps across the chest from spreading too far. It even has the waist strap of its own.
I tend to like to have everything with me when I take the camera, so let me list what I shoved into this bag and still have more room to go:
1) Canon 20D with the 28-135IS Lens attached AND the flower-type lens hood on (ready to shoot);
2) 300D/Digital Rebel Body with the battery grip attached;
3) 18-55 EF lens
4) 50mm/1.8 mkI lens
5) table top tripod (just in case)
6) four bp-511-type batteries
7) Tiffen filter essentials for the giant 28-135 lens
8) Hoya filter packs (3 boxes) for the 18-55
9) a lens cleaning kit (small 5x7x1 box)
10) a 380EX flash
11) a bunch of odds and ends (like the wired remote for the Rebel, a flat level, etc)
12) Firewire CF reader
13) charger for the BP-511
There is one empty spot in the compartments and plenty of room in the pockets -- plus an empty front pocket for whatever else I migth want to squirrel away in there. Not to mention, I can put a pack or two of Parodis in the side compartment, and my cell phone and its charger in the other side.
Wow! And to top it all off, even with that mess of stuff in the bag, it is comfortable to walk around with on the back...
The best thing for me, is that the camera is easy to retrieve and ready to shot when I pack it in a bag. Here, I can have the 20D ready to go with the 28-135 IS lens and the lens hood on it. All I need to do is move the zipper and the camera can slide out. Unlike some of the back packs, which require you to open the bag completely, this bag can have the camera located near the opening. For me, this is a big plus because I don't have to reveal to everyone the entire contents of my bag to get the camera out. Rather, I can retrieve the camera alone, ready to shoot, and no one sees what else is there.
That's a big, big plus to the bag design.
Fit and finish appears with quality and well done. Not only is the bag comfortable when loaded and worn, but the zippers remain easy to operate.
To top it all off, this bag is worth it at the list price, but at the markdown here, it is a steal.
I give it a 5 because it was easy to set-up and load, and because it is designed for actual hiking with it loaded down heavy to be comfortable and usable.

This is the best camera backpack or bag I have seen. The materials and built quality are outstanding. I had never seen zippers so smooth as the one contained in this backpack. I can fit a digital Canon SLR, 2 large lenses, a Sony mini-Dv videocam, a canon flash, and all sorts of cables, batteries, memory cards, etc. easily in this backpack. It is very comfortable to wear in the shoulders. The nylon material is very resistant.

As the other writers have said, this bag will hold it all. It is very customizable and you can fit a variety of lenses inside. From your smaller lenses and up. One thing the photos don't show is the size of it-it is much larger than it appears in the images. The designers were also generous in terms of compartments. The only knock on this bag, and it really isn't that bad, is that there is not much protection for the camera. This could be remedied by using a "lens" wrap near where the camera sits to offer some additional protection. The quality of the bag is excellent and as an example is the nice touch of using a "shielded" zipper on the camera compartment. Want weatherproofing for it-store a garbage bag in one of the many storage pockets. For features/price you can't beat it. With the money you save, go ahead and order a small "grab" type bag or top loader for those quick trips and keep your backpack for gear storage and longer photo expeditions.

I bought this backpack from a local camera store because it was going out of biz. I am very impressed with the Canon backpack. I easily fit 2 slr's, several lenses, and accessories inside without a problem. During a trip out of town...I had placed the back in the back of my SUV. During the drive it moved around and when I went to open the gate...the back fell hard onto the ground. Surprisingly my equipment WAS NOT damaged in any way. Also the back is weatherproof and waterproof...I used this during a trip to Disney and went through several attractions that used water...my equipment remained dry.
Compared to Lowepro or Tamrac backpacks...price vs. features...you cannot beat this backpack.

This camera bag is sick.
I have a rebel XT with the EF-s 18-55 kit lense, 50mm prime, 100-300 Tamron zoom, and the massive (and massively nice) 70-200 F/2.8L zoom. This bag holds all of this plus microfiber cloths, filters (5), battery charger, lense caps, batteries, remote switch cable, extra memory cards, my friend's 100mm macro, and yes - even my toothbrush. I thought the 70-200 would be too big, but it has room the spare! Great bag, especially for the money!
