 Sony Camera in A Canon Bag ;) November 2, 2008
What can I say about this bag that hasn't already been said? Nothing really but I had to throw in my thoughts no matter how much they seem to have been repeated.
As you can see from the pictures this thing can hold a lot and keep it together and organized. You can hold all you need for a shoot or even a trip in this one bag but as any good photographer knows, only take what you will need. Don't over pack! First you end up carrying more gear then you need and if your going to stand all day to shoot it can easily drag you down. Second, too much junk packed away will cause you to lose how well protected your gear is as it all just gets crammed together.
Now onto how this work for long shoots. Well I've had time out with this thing as I've owned it for about two months. Yesterday though was the first real test. I spent the day at a festival called Punkin Chunkin. For anyone who has been to it or seen it knows what it is and knows how big this thing is. It's a lot of walking and I sure walked it. The shoulder straps felt great and by the end of the day while I was a little sore on the shoulders I was more sore is areas like my legs and feet. I've carried backpacks all day before and have felt worse and they were even lighter. So Punkin Chunkin 2008 sure proved to me the worth of this bag.
There is one negative I can say about it but it's only a negative if you see it as a negative but I don't see it as much as one but I had to point it out. During the day Id find myself wanting to change lenses or after burning up a memory card Id need another one and with this bag you have to take off and set down and grab your gear. A shoulder bag makes it much easier to not have to do this and just stand there and do it. For speed, a shoulder bag is best. For comfort, I feel the backpack is best. During the long standing sessions kneeling down to get into the main part of the bag was more of a little comfort factor really.
I do wish a pocket was made to hold a bottle for drinks. I ended up packing three small energy drinks bottles in the bag for the day though ended up not needing them. Still, if I felt a mighty thirst a bottle of water would have been nice to have on this thing. On the other hand the two small side pockets are nice. Without taking off the bag you can access them so in one I put a small set of binoculars in. The other I put my cell phone in as I was called and text messaged all day. As I live only 30 minutes from Punkin Chunkin I had friends who were also going and they would call me to see where I was to meet up and all. I don't care for stuff in my pants pockets so the bag was great to hold them.
On a funny note, I shoot on a Sony but the bag is a Canon. I had one person say something about it to me one day. I just said I could care less who's name is on the bag. As long as it works and does what I need it to do it just doesn't matter to me.
Perfect! November 2, 2008
I like the lens storage this bag offers. You can adjust lens storage compartments to accommodate different sized lenses. There is also a loop on the outside to hold your tripod. This bag is a bargain for the price and storage it offers since bags this size and quality are more expensive. This is a great quality camera bag and I would recommend it to anyone.
 Good for the price November 2, 2008
Good bag for the price. My 5d with batter grip was a bit of a tight fit, but swapped the direction of the inside camera compartments, which worked better. Has a decent amount of external storage space.
Good Value November 2, 2008
Over all this little backpack is really great for the price. It certainly will accomodate everything the hobbiest photographer might want to carry and at a better price than the competition. My wife was very pleased.
Took it hunting October 31, 2008
I needed something to hold my EOS 40D safely while hunting. This completely filled the bill with a few exceptions.
Pros
1) Had good color not cammo but almost just as good.
2) space for other equipment both hunting and camera .
Cons
1)Would like to have a place to put a water bottle out side the pack.
