The Tamrac "5275 Expedition 5 Photo Backpack" was a valuable find for me.The backpack provides enough room for my 2 cameras,6 lenses,and other accessories.The backpack has alot of padding and also has movable pads inside to adjust to the amount of equipment you have.The 1 thing I really didnt like was that the movable pads inside the backpack are relatively hard to adjust.If You like taking all your equipment with You on camping trips,hikes,and other outdoor activities;I would recommend this product to You.

Just returned from Alaska. I bought this back pack just before going and it was exactly what I was looking for. I arranged the sections to carry a Sony handycam (normal size) 2 full size 35mm SLR cameras and an extra zoom lens. I also brought 24 rolls of film, 7 filters, and 2 disposable cameras. Oh, and I could fit my husband's digital camera (minus the charger for both the video and digital). There was still room to carry rain gear on the inside. I tied on our umbrella as well. This was rather heavy (my fault for jamming everything in there) but has a waist and chest clip to help with that. EXCELLENT.

I used this for a Nikon Coolpix 5700 and a Canon ZR50MC mini DV camcorder. In addition I was able to store the battery chargers and power cords for both items above, as well as all the manuals for both. Further, I stored 13 mini DV tapes, 2 Canon BP-535 batteries, 5 filter boxes, two additional batteries for the Nikon, and more. This is a VERY well built back pack and even though it has room to spare to begin with there are points of attachment all over this thing for additional accessories. You never realize how much cra...er, uh, stuff you have until you try and put it in a camera bag. This one has plenty of room and the ability to "add rooms" as your collection of necessities (?) grows. If you want to take it with you and you want it protected, spend the money for this bag. You won't be sorry.

I travel by air quite frequently and find this backpack convenient to carry and stowe. It's made of waterproof material and has enough space to hold all of my photography needs. There are slots and tabs on each side of the backpack to add additional assessory products, if needed. There is a front netted pocket with a draw string to hold my 13" (53" extended) travel tripod securely. I highly recommend this photo backpack.

Shipping was very rapid - received 3 days after ordering. I wanted a back pack for travel overseas because it doesn't tell people there's expensive camera equipment inside.It holds three cameras (one a small point and shoot) and three lenses with no problem. The small travel tripod is a little snug when carried inside. There seems to be plenty of room for filters and film for a week trip. Hardware and construction is heavy duty. I hope to be able to also carry the makings for a pic nic; i.e.; a bottle of wine, cheese, bottle opener. This will be a very tight fit but possible. Anything beyond this think about ordering the Tamrac full size packs.

I highly recommend this backpack. It has plenty of room, padding, and features. Mine includes my SLR camera, one lens, several filters and a digital camcorder, two large flashes, extra film, batteries, camera books -- and it's not even close to being full. It's not a small backpack, but the size is very manageable. Previously, I bought a smaller camera bag, and found I outgrew it too quickly.
