Well designed quality item
By totnes_nigel
If you have a use for this sort of pack it is very well designed and appears very well made. I'm a walker who tends to take a DSLR with him most of the time. I've had a variety of camera cases - mostly Lowe - over the years. Most recently I've had a Slingshot which has been good when I'm not on a real walk and a small padded case which went on my rucksac belt when I was. This pack should allow me to take a little more than just the camera on walks and still allow ease of access to the camera. Trying it out in the home it seems easy enough to get the camera out without taking the pack off.The camera fits into a compression section accessed from the side of the pack. My Nikon D7000 with an 18-200 lens fits in fine and there is space for another lens though probably not a large one. The rest of the pack allows quite a bit of space for other gear. There is a hydration space for a water bladder, a decent zipped side pocket and an open but deep/wide front pocket. There is a zipped lid pocket and a further zipped pocket in the main part of the sack. The main compartment is separated from the compression area however the more you can "compress" the camera section the more space there is in the main part. The camera section is not full width so there is a deep space on the right of the pack in the main area. The area of the main compartment is not large and I guess full winter kit is not going to fit but it should take a fair amount of gear (I'll update this when I've used it on the moors). There are compression straps on the sides of the pack. The hip belt adjusts from the sides not the centre which I think should be far easier than my current rucksack and it has a zipped pocket (useful size) on each side. There is a chest strap. There is also a waterproof cover which comes out from the bottom of the pack and covers it effectively.All in all - well laid out with reasonable space for both camera equipment and gear - it is bound to be a compromise but this looks like a good one. You would have to be using a DSLR in the kind of environment such as walking/biking etc to justify this I think. However if you have that kind of a need this would make a very good option. I will test it out as soon as I can and if I hit any snags (or anything else) I'll update this review.*Updated after some useI've walked with this pack for a couple of days now. I've not fully loaded it as it was not necessary to what I was doing but it has given me more info on how well it works. The pack was very comfortable after I had adjusted it so the hip belt was actually on my hips. The hip belt pockets were very useful indeed. I found getting the camera out without taking the pack off at all was quite easy. Getting the camera back in again was not that easy without slipping a shoulder out. Happy so far.

High Quality Bag Perfect For Purpose
By P. Bryant
I was looking for a decent camera bag that would allow me plenty of space for my other non-camera related possessions for when I go away for weekends or even to use as hand luggage on flights.The problem I found is that most camera bags are 90% for camera storage with only a little left over for a few small personal belongings.However, this Lowepro is one of the few bags I have seen that are more designed for those that want to carry mostly personal belongings but safely and conveniently carry their DSLR and a lens or two.There is a small but very secure area for your camera (with lens attached) and a spare lens or two and cleverly there is a drawstring on the compartment so once you have your camera and lenses in you can pull it tight. This not only keeps everything really secure and stops movement but it also frees up more space in the main compartment for your personal belongings.Perhaps a professional would find there isnt enough space for all their equipment - especially with a long telephoto zoom lens. However, for the amateur who wants a bag that they can use on day and weekend trips or to take on holiday as hand luggage with only a few camera bits it is ideal.There are straps on the bottom that I use to carry my tripod and the whole thing looks and feels very well made. It is not a cheap backpack but it certainly fulfilled and probably exceeded my expectations and it was well worth the extra money to get exactly what I was looking for from a camera bag.

Fantastic it of kit!
By Al B
Love this bag! Purchased it to go travelling in Thailand... didn't disappoint at all.Easy to get in and out of quickly, but at the same time always felt it was secure when done up. Gives great protection to camera & lens, and I was surprised how comfortable it was to wear for long periods, even when it was completely full. Not the cheapest bag of this sort on the market, but you certainly get what you pay for!
