5.0 out of 5 stars Super nice all around camera [laptop] bag, October 30, 2008
The Good:

*plenty of storage volume. I could fit a Nikon D80 plus 12-24 f/4, 24-70/2.8, 70-300VR, 18-200VR, SB-600 flash without problem. I can see one fitting a mounted 70-200 f/2.8VR or 300 f/4 without problem. I've also used the bag with a hood-on 24-70/2.8 mounted on a D700, plus a 70-300VR hood-on with room for another hood-on big lens.

*The two straps on the top side of the bag can hold a small jacket in place, the two side mesh pockets can fit sizable waterbottles, plus a tripod holder at the back : how much more do you wanna carry?

*All weather cover for adverse weather conditions.

*As a bonus, one CAN sqeeze a laptop in (I could fit a 14.1" wide screen thinkpad T61 with extended battery pack) after some valco re-configuration effort, while carrying a non-gripped body plus 4 lenses. You don't want to do it often but for air travel alone it is doable (not very comfortable for your back however).

*You can really tighen the waist strap on your body, flip the bag to your front side, and access the content without additional support for the bag. provides a secure platform for lens changes while on the go.

*the flipside design (camera compartment can only be opened from your back's side) is very secure. no by-stander can open your bag without going through you.

*the size is okay for air travel.

The bad?

*it is a bit too big/bulky for daily use. And on heavier loadings (10 pound total weight or more) the bag isn't all that comfortable when i first got it. it was a bit stiff all around. 2 months later and now it gets slightly better. but not at the comfort level of compurover that i tried.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent LIGHTWEIGHT Lowepro Bag, September 23, 2008
Despite its size, this is very light at 2.7lbs/1.2kg. [There is an error with Amazon's published weight. Please refer to the Lowepro website.]

This bag is highly recommended if you are looking for a dedicated camera bag rather than a Camera/Laptop bag.

Highly suitable as a travel bag for long trips. But as a day bag, it is too large, suggest you get the Flipside 300/200 instead if you are only going to carry 1 or 2 extra primes.

Pros:-
1. Plenty of configurable inner Velcro chambers.
2. Light weight - > at 1.2 kilos, feels as light as a feather!
3. Camera chamber opens only from the side next to your back. Recommended as a travel camera bag as it makes it more difficult for would-be thieves to reach your precious camera and lenses.
4. Can easily accommodate 2 DSLR bodies and a long telezoom lens along with 5-6 primes.
5. AW cover wraps over the bag for protection against heavy rain.
6. External Tripod holder.
7. Back pocket for keeping miscellaneous items.
8. 2 Side mesh pockets for your water bottle and perhaps umbrella.
9. The Flipside idea works very well as it acts as a platform for your to change your lenses. There is no need to set your backpack down on the ground to reach your photographic equipment.

Cons:-
1. Cannot hold laptops, unless it is a mini PC.
2. Rather large and will not fit under the seat of a commercial plane.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good field backpack, December 3, 2008
I shoot a Canon 40D and carry a 400mm f5.6, 17-40mm f4.0, 50mm f1.8 with accessories and various gadgets. The pack rides well and I have hiked for hours and it still feels comfortable. The weather cover works very well as I have been caught out in the rain and had to deploy. I did have to remove the tripod and carry seperately in order to cover the pack. That is the only reason I did not rate 5 star.
I do like the ability to keep the pack attached with the waist strap and rotate to access the camera storage area. All in all a good pack for camera gear in the field or around town if you need to carry more than camera and one lens.
