5.0 out of 5 stars A Well-Made and Functional Bag, April 30, 2009

By	Cornelius J. Corkery - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I got this not too long ago and am amazed at how much I've been able to cram into it. I can easily stow my 15 inch MacBook Pro and 8 inch Eee PC into the Laptop portion with enough space left over for maps or other small books. The camera compartment easily fits my small DSLR and 2 lenses and has a little pocket for memory cards and other accessories. Everything fit snugly, but I wasn't lacking for space. If that isn't enough, there's a smaller compartment on the outside that could store whatever other odds and ends you've got on you.

The Sinking Barge also has very comfortable shoulder straps and padding on the inner portion. Although the bag is a bit heavy on its own, the weight is distributed nicely so you can carry it fully stocked for a few hours without feeling too worn out. I'd read in a review on another website that it is quite big for a backpack, but I didn't find this to be the case. I'm fairly short, but the Barge fits me better than most bags and doesn't hang in such a way as to strain my back. The bag is made out of a pretty durable nylon that should withstand a fair amount of wear and tear.

Although the Barge is a bit pricey for a backpack (although I got mine for ~$30 less than the current price on Amazon), it is definitely worth it for the durability, utility and comfort that it affords.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for weight of new d300 and 3 large lenses, April 29, 2009

By	jessica bermudez (KEW GARDENS, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I recently purchased this as a gift with the D300 and battery grip. Carrying all that camera weight was always an issue for taking out the camera for long trips. We tried it out at the Botanical Gardens and I ended up carrying it. It had the D300 with battery grip, 1 medium lens, 2 large lenses and the SB800. WOW what a relief on my shoulders! I used to carry the Tamarac Velocity 9 and I would always cramp up! This was a relief! After four hours of carry time....no pain at all. It's also easy to manage, its a good bag...also has plenty of pouches to store lens filters, card readers, cards, and cords.
