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)
