I'm carrying two digital camera bodies, a 70x200mm 2.8 zoom (which is BIG), a 100-300mm 5.6 zoom, a 28-105mm, a 2x extender, a battery grip, a flash attachment, four extra batteries, a dozen CF cards, and some other small accessories and it all fits. For my purposes, this is the perfect fit to carry everything I need for a day's shoot without feeling like I've overpacked.

I bought this bag for a trip to Alaska. I wanted to be able to carry a large lens, a camera body with a medium-sized lens attached, a tripod, and various other items (SD cards, etc.). I was not disappointed in this bag's ability to do all that. It's a solidly manufactured backpack-style bag with shoulder, sternum and waist straps. I'm easily bothered by shoulder straps dragging on me, but the waist cinch and sternum strap were so well placed that I didn't even know I had it on. My gear traveled safely from Southern California to Alaska and back again (as carry-on luggage only). For what it holds, this bag seems tiny.

That said, I have a few minor negatives: I found myself dragging straps along the ground when I chose to carry the bag by it's handle at the airport. The waist cinch and excess shoulder straps did not have any sort of system for keeping them from hanging down. Some of Tamrac's bags have zip-up outer coverings that can be used to contain all the straps; this is not one of them. There is a small cord with a locking slider on the top of the bag that is always getting caught in the zipper when I try to close the main compartment. Annoying.

All in all, this is a great bag, and I have no hesitation in giving it 4 stars.

This is my second bag from Tamrac. I've only also had Canon bags and so that's my reference point.

I like these bags - I find that they're better crafted, more padded and have better features - like sealed pockets for things that need to stay dust free and small individual pockets for memory cards. I like the little straps and things to attach extra pouches or just to hang things onto.

This bag easily holds my Digital Rebel Xti (with attached battery grip) , a 50mm prime lens, some cleaning stuff, some filters, extra batteries and memory cards plus 1. a standard and a telephoto zoom, speedlite flash and my S3IS (compact superzoom). or 2. Huge super telephoto zoom, telephoto zoom, flash and 50mm prime.

Very easily customised, I'm sure I could comfortably find a way to fit all sorts of things in there if I tried. I gave it 5 stars in spite of the fact that I can't take my laptop along in here. (That's only a -0.3 stars imho)

Great, well designed funtional product. Also have the larger one for when I need to carry much more gear... This one great if you are traveling and going on airplane due to its size. Again, well designed and built

The Tamrac 5375 is a great photography backpack with many options. I normally pack a Nikon D300, three Sigma lens (12 - 24mm,18 - 250mm OS, and 150 - 500mm OS lenses, a Nikon SB600 TTL, Nikon and AA/AAA battery chargers, spare Nikon, AA and AAA batteries, camera and speedlight manuals, a lens cleaner, a bulb dust blower and spare discs. The 5375 handles this well although it is a bit heavy. I have made plane, car and hiking trips with the 5375. The shoulder straps are very comfortable and backpacking is much easier than carrying it by the top handle especially when traversing the airport concourse pulling a roll-on bag. The padding seems adequate with many packing options and protects the contents from normal bumps and handling events. The bag appears to be waterproof with various drawstrings and hems that protect the zipper from leaking. There are two easy snap straps: One to hold the shoulder straps in the proper position; and one that wraps around the bag adding additional security to an accident zipper event (opening or forgetting to close). Thus far the bag appears to be rugged enough to withstand many trips.

This is a well made, well laid out pack. I wore it for hours on a trip and found it to be comfortable enough. I think the size is perfect for single camera use. I have a Nikon D80, two lens, a flash, charger and various other junk in it and it's not completely full.

I did not have a camera bag large enough to hold all my equipment until I found this one. It is perfect for storing my cameras, lenses, etc., but would not carry it loaded as a backpack as it would be much too heavy for me. I can put it in the trunk of my car and just remove what I need for photowalks, etc. I am happy with it and with the price as I purchased it used, but it looks brand new.

I like this bag, It fits my D90 + Grip & 50mm 1.8G attached since I used the 50mm more often than the other lens, I also have a 2 medium lens and a 70-300mm zoom lens, with flash and some accessories in the bag, the 70-300 won't fit standing, it has to lay down, has also more room for 2 more medium lenses or another zoom lens or an extra DSLR body. for me the accessories pocket are too small since I have a lot of accessories, but if you're just carrying a chargers and batteries then it should be fine.

What's in the bag list:
D90+Battery Grip and 50mm 1.8G Attached
17-50mm
90mm
70-300mm
SB Flash
Sanyo Eneloop Batteries and Charger
SDHC memory Case
Chargers
Point & Shoot Coolpix
Plus a room for 2 more medium lenses or zoom lens or another DSLR body.

I tought this bag would be bigger since it looks big on the picture but no, and I was hoping for bigger than this, (I guess I have to ask for sizes next time) it's almost same size like the $40 canon deluxe backpack, it's about 11-13 inches wide and 15 inches in height. but this tamrac has better built quality. Yes I used to have a canon deluxe backpack but I got rid of it since I also switched to nikon.

compared to most this is perfect what I need. of course who couldn't use more space, more cushion than my previous bag for more protection. and for the price, not bad. it's not pro model but I would say one step below that. the product came clean and fast and no issues, good comp to work and email with

This a good spare to a full sized bag. For a day trip it hold all you need with out killing your back (as long a you use it right). A must have for nature (hiking) photographers.
