 Killer pack that allows you to bring all your gear with you November 24, 2009
Mark T. Pecoraro (Walnut Creek CA)
I have a normal lens, 70-200MM, extenders, filters, batteries, manuals, and other misc parts... this pack allows for custom configuration to make it work for you. A nice camo look, comfortable to wear. This is a GREAT pack for my photo excursions.
This is a great bag! November 21, 2009

I've had this bag for a couple years and I really like it. It's roomy, durable, and is easy to take along with you.
I've climbed all over Yosemite and Salmon Creek Falls with this bag and it's protected my equipment well. and yes, it's been dropped a few times.

 Great for a beginner photographer + November 10, 2009
B. Hall (Reno, NV)
This is the first camera bag that I have bought as I start my career as a photographer and it is good for know. There are enough pockets and compartments for my dSLR, flash, lens, and my Point and shoot camera as well. I also have stashed in it my extra memory cards and batteries. It has a dedicated tripod strap that is on the underside of the pack. The outside "light jacket holder" is a joke and it appears to be more for decoration than anything else. I would have like to have small zipper pockets for my memory cards instead of the elastic pockets.
 It should be considered a storage bag, not a backpack November 10, 2009

While this bag works great as a storage device (customizable compartments and plenty of room for a number of accessories) it should NOT be considered for use as a backpack. The straps and the bag itself are poorly designed with regards to comfort while using as a "backpack". The straps are nothing to write home about, but worse still are the inside components of the bag that, when carried as a backpack, create pressure points throughout the back of the bag and cause discomfort over even the shortest distances.
If you simply need a gear bag, this will work great. If you plan on carrying your gear on your back, look for a different pack.
Deluxe Value... November 6, 2009
Paul Mark Provencher (Morgantown, WV USA)
I was stunned by the price of photo backpacks from some of the big names. I almost scanned past the Canon product here because Canon-brand stuff isn't always bargain-priced.
That's not the case here. I did a double-take when I saw the price. I could not believe it was so affordable. After dropping a serious chunk of change on the Canon 5D Mk II, I was ready for a bargain, and at the same time something that would hold the items I want to take shooting.
I was never fond of the classic "camera bag", rectangle with a strap type carry method. They burden a single shoulder, don't stay put, and from a style point of view, let's just say, it leaves a lot to be desired.
I use backpacks very often, so this really fits my mode of operation. The pack itself is highly configurable, has room for a few lenses, the camera, as well as the ancillary items you really should keep with - batteries, memory cards, body and lens caps, filters, and so on.
I reversed the compartment so the camera is at the bottom because with the battery grip, it was a bit tight at the top of the compartment. I too blacked out the conspicuous Canon logos (both the metal one and the smaller, two-sided cloth tab). I like the blacked out look and wonder why they don't just put black material on there to begin with, but I guess if you like Bling, you're good to go.
The long story short for me is I saved a couple hundred dollars and got myself a nice backpack that should serve my needs very well. It's just large enough to bring a good selection of stuff, but small enough to make me stop and think what I really need rather than overburden myself!
