We have this backpack and a bigger Lowepro backpack that we use for our DSLR kits. We were pleasantly surprised at how much we could pack into this small, lightweight backpack. It is comfortable to wear on hikes, even loaded down with two Canon DSLR bodies, 70-200mm 2.8L IS II and 50mm lenses, a flash, and still room for another lens. Plus, there are enough pockets for batteries, cards, and other small accessories. In contrast, our bigger backpacks holds just a lttle more (perhaps one or two more lenses), but seems much heavier when packed up.

I am using an Olympus EM-1 with a 6-8 lenses. The lenses are short and this case if a perfect way to carry them all.Most of them except the longer Voightlander Nokton and the Oly 75-300 zoom go in vertically which really saves space.
I also have room for an Oly flash and the necessary batteries and whatnot. A Lumiquest softbox fits nicely in the outside compartment.
One gripe is that there is only one zippered compartment on the inside of the lid. I am used to having several so I can keep batteries in one and cards in another etc. Not a big deal, just curious why Lowepro did it this way.
This bag replaces a "messenger" style bag I have been using. The messenger style is not useful for small micro four thirds lenses because the case is deep and you end up having to stack the lenses on top of one another. Not good. This case is much easier to use.
The tripod attachment works fine as does the rain cover. All in all and for the bargain price I paid it is a keeper.
Best Deals for Lowepro Pro Runner 300 AW DSLR Backpack (Pine Green)
Excellant quality, which is standard for Lowepro products. Have and Lowepro Trekker 100 for number of years; put through all types of use and abuse, still looks almost new. The Pro Runner 300 allows me to carry at least twice the equipment as the 100.Have in bag: Sony a700 DSLR with Sigma 17-70 lens attached with hood, Sony 70-200 2.8 with hood reversed, Sigma 28-200 with hood, 100 mm macro lens, Sony FM58 flash with case, Promaster LED120Plus ligt, light meter, a700 vertical grip, compact binoculars, batteries and chargers for camera and flash, card reader, Rogue lig bender with difuser, tabletop tripod, lens and camera cleaning materials, along with various cords, and memory cards.
Allows me to carry enough equipment so I am ready for just about any situation that may arise. I'm one of those people that never leaves home without a camera. I am not a professional, just an advance amateur.
Items are not stuffed or cramped in the bag. the external shape and sizeis the same full as empty. Weighs 15 pounds with all items, which is not that bad. Adding my monopod will add a couple pounds, should i decide to strap it on. Usually use monopod as walking stick. Tripods are Bogen, I carry them with their shoulder strap due to their size and weight.
I would highly recommend ths bag for its size, layout and quality. Lowepro's customer service was plesant and helpful in answering all my questions and concerns. Called their customer service a couple times prior to purchasing. Was comparing to Case Logic DCB-309. Case Logics customer was not as friendly or forth coming as Lowepro.
