4.0 out of 5 stars Phenomenal Bag, February 26, 2007

This is a fantastic bag. The construction is solid and the materials are bomb-proof. It can comfortably hold my Nikon D200 with 18-200mm lens attached, 70-200mm f/2.8, and a big sigma 180mm macro. I'm also able to throw in extra batteries, cf cards, charger, journal, pens, cleaning kit, flash, and still have room for one more lens. I've carried the bag through Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand and it has stayed very dry in some heavy downpours. The bag can accomodate waterbottles on the side if you buy the accessory (which I highly suggest doing) and you can use the compression straps it comes with to attach a small tripod or to stow a jacket or sweater. It seems quite large when you get it, but it fills up quickly. If you intend to load it all the way up I suggest you purchase either a waist belt for it to help support the load, or a more heavily padded shoulder strap. The strap it comes with is fine for light loads, but should be a bit more padded for the loads the bag is capable of carrying, which is why I give it 4 instead of 5 stars.

I went to several electronics stores around my area, Best Buy, Wolf Camera, Target, etc., and was unable to find a camera bag that I liked enough, that would work for the new Sony HDR-SR1 camcorder that I had just bought. There was a Canon one that came very close, but it still had some issues for me.

I have a couple of Lowepro bags now, actually three, now that I have this one, and I've always been impressed by their quality, and well designed bags. I was unable to locate a Lowepro bag that I thought would work well with the particular application I had in mind. The HDR-SR1 is 6.5" long, or 8.25" long with the wide angle lens attached. I wanted something that would fit this camcorder, with the lens attached, along with the dual battery charger, and all other accessories.

I searched Lowepro's web site, which, in my opinion, is pretty poor. They have good pictures, and a good amount of information, but it seems to be organized a bit odd. I was almost about to buy one of the backpack style bags, when I stumbled upon the Stealth D series bags. I thought the idea behind them was interesting, and they looked good on paper, and in pictures, but without seeing one, I was a bit nervous spending $89 on a bag, not knowing if it would work well in my application.

Well, I'm happy to say that I'm very pleased with this bag. Not only can I fit everything related to the camcorder in the bag, but I'm also able to add my digital camera to the bag, and still have some room left over. I currently store the camcorder as shown in the picture, but if I removed the lens, and a divider, I could store it long ways as well.

The bag is pretty flexible as far as positioning the dividers, however, there isn't an easy way to leave an entire section open, going the longest length of the bag. I'm happy with the way it worked out though. I'm not sure what I'll use the memory card wallet for, but I'm sure I'll find a use.

One of the features I really like, is the water resistant top zipper which you can use to get your camera/camcorder out in a hurry. The shoulder strap seems very well padded, unlike many other shoulder straps I've seen. Even the hand handle is padded well.

I think the previous reviewer is right though, you can really load this bag down, if you want too. I think mine probably weights at least 20lbs right now. Check out the photo I posted.

I got this for the Canon 40D, and I put it in the bag with the 28-135 lens on it. It keep 2 other lenses and a flash in there also, but there is room for 2 other items. Plus with the zippers, it holds papers, cords and other little things. It is nicely constructed, but I would never have paid this full price, I think I got it at a bonus price for ordering something else at the time.
