Strength:

Plenty of room for a day hike - plus room for jacket and picnic - very sturdy, comfortable and stylish! Lifetime guarantee!

Weakness:

You have to set it down to access equipment - very annoying while switching lenses! Also when reading the description, I thought it had a detachable lower section to be used as a belly-bag alone - was very dissapointed that it is not!

A great item! But shop around for prices! I found this one in stores for $70 - 89! I bought mine at BnH.com for 60 plus shipping but saw it later on other sites for $56...

Similar Products Used:

Several over-the-shoulder bags - this one is more comfortable!

Strength:

Durable, water resistant,comfortable,great for carrying other things with you

Weakness:

Not quickly accessible without removing.

I spent 2 weeks touring Costa Rica and used this for my travel bag for two and three day excursions, stuffing small things in the bottom with the camera and jamming the top full with everything else. Canal trips, mountain biking, hiking through river beds and into rain forests in some very humid conditions and the use of Ziploc bags kept my F70,three lenses and lots of film dry.Was extremely comfortable in somewhat demanding conditions. I would recommend this to anyone.

Strength:

ease of access, comfort.

Weakness:

I am 6'2" and this bag is too short for me.

A great bag, well worth the $$$'s...but if you are tall it will not be the bag for you.

Weakness:

read my bottom line

i bought this bag because i wanted to carry my gear food drink and clothing.
weel i must say i was dissapointed honestly its tiny i was led to believe it was big enough to hold a fair few items of clothing and odds and sods.
fiar enough it will hold you camera and lenses in the bottom compartment but the top is tiny and it also seams flimsily made i know the company who makes do make good bags but this one iam sorry to say is definatley in my opinion the one to avoid ,pay the extra and get a better quality one

Model Reviewed: Orion Trekker Camera Backpack

Strength:

Very roomy, with easy access to camera by unzipping around the backpack. Space in the other compartment for film, lunch, etc. Also very comfortable.

Weakness:

Zero.

Great camera backpack. Cheaper than most other camera backpacks (bought mine for less than $50) but the quality is just as good.
