I had a fairly specific set of needs while looking for a camera bag:
- I wanted a separate compartment for misc. accessories
- I like the backpack style design
- I needed to put my 15" MacBook Pro in it
- and the camera compartment had to fit my Canon 40D with the 70-200mm 2.8 lens attached.

The first three requirement were easy to find, but finding a camera compartment big enough to be able to fit the camera and lens (attached) in it so i don't have to take off the lens every time I put it away, was a tough job. I got really close with some Kata bags, but in the end this Lowepro has everything I wanted. I've been very pleased with it so far (I've had it about a month now) - if anything, it's a little disconcerting to be as excited about the bag as I am about the gear inside.

The tripod that comes in the bundle is really geared more toward the weight of a point & shoot - I wouldn't trust it with my SLR and zoom lens, it's just too much weight. The cleaning kit is from the bargain bin, but some extra lens cloths and blowers aren't bad to have around. Not worth paying extra for, but the price for the bundle was the same as it was for the Lowepro bag alone.

Great bag if you need to carry and laptop computer and camera. The swing around access to the camera is a very good idea.
