Review 1 of 5

Price Paid:  $40.00 from www.amazon.com

Summary:

This has proven to be a very economical version of what I saw in backpacks costing about $100 more. There is plenty of room for the casual photographer and the build quality and comfort are incredible. The padding for your back keeps you from feeling the bulk of the weight of the pack and the combination of waist, sternum, and shoulder straps keep it locked in place on your body.

Strengths:

-Small yet enough space to carry anything you would need for a full day shooting. -High quality of materials and eningeering. -highly customizable floor-plan of interior.

Weaknesses:

-Zipper gets caught on zipper flap when closing towards top of pack. -The 2 interior main compartment pockets are very shallow and make the pack difficult to close if too much is placed in them. -As stated in another review, needs more velcro on the inside walls.

What a great bag...Fits my N80 w/ 28-105, 70-300 and SB-80DX speedlight without any problem. Still room for another prime too. This is really the ideal bag to have for day trips and longer.

Review 4 of 5

Price Paid:  $62.00 from Garcia''s, Conway PA

Summary:

Best bag I have ever owned. I''m able to pack my Nikon body w\70-300mm, 28-80mm, 1.4 teleconverter, HP digicam, Small binoculars, Flash and film all in the main body. This is a great pack for outdoor photography. It fits great on my back and is very snug when I buckle up and tighten the waist and chest straps. The chest and waist straps fit me perfect, however a larger person may have a problem with them (I''m 5''10" 185lb). The bag is adaptable for the addition of a couple of exterior lens pouches, or other type pockets. The main exterior pock is very well designed w/places to put all your note pads, pens and manuals. The bag also has two interior large pockets. This is not the biggest bag in the world, but just right for me. I traded in a Tamrac hip bag that I purchased in December because I wanted to carry my larger zoom lens on my camera body. I felt that I was changing my lens every time I took the camera out of the bag.

Strengths:

-Able to keep my large zoom lens attached to my body while stored in the bag. -Very solid construction. -Looks good. -Able to add on. -Very comfortable, even with a heavy load.

Weaknesses:

-Chest and waist straps may not be long enough for larger people. -Nothing else that I can think of.

Similar Products Used:

-Tamrac hip pack. -A few shoulder bags.

Customer Service:

Not needed yet.

Review 5 of 5

Price Paid:  $62.00 from Perk''s Photo

Summary:

Don''t let the size fool you, this is a great bag. I carry mine with me whenever I want to travel light or I know I won''t need a lot of gear. This pack is perfect for bicycling or walking around the city. It''s also able to hold a large body SLR. Although I usually carry my Elan 7 in it, I can fit my EOS-1n inside with just a little bit of shoe-horning. You can''t beat it as an urban bag for the price.

Strengths:

Good price. Solid construction. Small enough to take anywhere. Protects gear from light to moderate weather. Can fit a surprising amount of gear inside. Inconspicuous...doesn''t really look like a camera bag. Good amount of padding all over.

Weaknesses:

Waist strap is completely useless. Velcro should cover more of the interior. No place to put a tripod. Not an AW bag. Can be a tad uncomfortable after long periods with heavier gear (EOS-1n).

Customer Service:

Never needed.
