750- Photographer's Daypack
Strength:
(I have the 752; the large version) Well-built, well thought out design, convenient, doesn't shout "Camera bag!"
Weakness:
Large flap has to be unsnapped before you can unzip the main compartment. A minor thing. The bag is too short for people with a long torso length, so the wasit strap may not be functional for taller folks. I am pleased the function and quality, and consider it a good purchase. Customer Service None needed.... Similar Products Used: Lowe Orion, Besseler 730 |

Strength:
Well made. Holds basic needs: Camera, telephoto lens, 1-2 wide angle/standard lens, flash, lunch + water in upper compartment. Plus compartments in front of camera area for filters, etc and side for misc. stuff.
Weakness:
Only have a small issue with the cover/flap. Wish it didn't cover lower compartment (camera area) access zipper. Also wish upper compartment was padded. 750 is great for outdoor or urban trips. Carries basic camera outfit for most needs. I own both the 750 & 752 Tamrac Daypacks (see 752 review). For those who may find the 750 (or for that matter the 748) too small, check out the 752, which is several inches taller/bigger and holds much more equipment. Customer Service None needed Similar Products Used: Went from shoulder type photo bags to daypack style. |

Strength:
Roomy. Great way to carry a moderate amount of gear. Has sternum strap, hip/waist strap, and padded back. Can hide the hip strap inside a slit. The fabric looks very durable--a lot like my Dana Designs backpack (D2 cloth). The bottom part is padded and comes with dividers that attach to the inside of the case with velcro and can be rearranged. The upper part of the case isn't padded.
Weakness:
The hip/waist strap isn't padded. That would have made it even easier to carry heavy loads. I got this at a pawn shop with a Canon FTb, the camera manual, 50mm 1.4, 135mm 2.8, 100-300mm zoom f4-5.6, vivitar 273(?) flash, and several Conkin filters for $150. I figure it's a pretty good deal since B&H sells the same bag for $100. The main compartment can hold my Nikon F2 with 50mm lens and everything listed above except the filters. They are in their own padded box and sit in the upper, unpadded compartment. This is a great case. I'm really pleased, but have yet to put it through much use. Customer Service Not needed yet.
