Strengths:
Not to big and bulky.

To small to fit all the gear into but to big to put into a backpack. but other than that it is a very good product.

Summary:
A good bag for carring your stuff to and from destination. Not great for walking or active photographers. It came with a kit otherwise I wouldn't have bought it (for my purposes anyway). Good for casual photographers, but not active ones.

Strengths:
Protective and spacious. The rubberized tred on the strap is great. Strong material.

Weaknesses:
Restricts movement.

Shoulder Bag

Summary:
I have the Canon Professional Backpack 1, but since it isn't on this sight, I decided to put the review here since they are both similar Canon bags.
The Backpack is made of strong material that will last you a while if you take care of it. I wouldn't recommend it on streneous hikes and trips where it will get banged around and messed up. It has good protection, but not as good as a lot of Lowepro and Tamrac Backpack style camera bags. I can fit my three 35mm SLR camera in there: a Pentax P5, Mamiya/Sekor DTL 1000, and a Canon EOS ELAN IIE. Along with a zoom lens, a 3x teleconverter, and a wide-angle or 28-80mm Lens. However, all of this is a pretty tight fit. It is really built for one or two bodies, and about 3or4 lenses. There is a place to place a tripod on top or bottom of the pack. I hike a lot and this pack is no where near the quality of my real pack, but my real pack doesn't hold camera safely. I wouldn't recomend this pack for long hikes like a week on a trail going through Yellowstone ONLY because it isn't real comfortable. There is not much support to it. But is an overall good pack. I give it a B+ in quality and a C+ on comfort.

Strengths:
Build Strong.
Cost is low.
Good for beginners and intermediate photgraphers.

Weaknesses:
Comfort.

Shoulder Bag

Summary:
I was given this bag as a gift. While I wouldn't have chosen it myself, it is handy to have to keep all of my camera equipment in one centralized location. I can fit my Canon EOS body and two lenses with plenty of room to spare. I can also keep film, books, filters, a handheld automatic camera, a small tripod, lens paper--pretty much anything I need--in this bag. Bottom line: use this bag for storage and transportation, but don't use it for shooting purposes.

Strengths:
*Sturdy design.*Adjustable compartments.*Extra pockets for film, notebooks, filters, etc.*Good value.

Weaknesses:
*Bulky, somewhat heavy, and generally awkward to carry for any extended period of time or distance.*I would prefer a less conspicuous camera bag.

Shoulder Bag

Summary:
Not a bad back pack for very short excursion. Great bag just as a storage bag, not one you want to lug around for any length of time.

Strengths:
Sturdy bag, not bad for the price.

Weaknesses:
If you put any weight into it for a longer hike, the "I'm going to school" harness system will kill you'r back
