Let's start off with the pros...
This bag looks nothing like a typical camera backpack. I absolutely love with way it looks. The side-entry pocket is great. I was looking for a backpack that had this feature since I do a lot of urban street photography... You never know when you're going to want to take a photo of something and it's nice to have my camera easily accessible. It's also pretty comfortable to wear even with all my gear packed inside.
Now for the cons...
The Velcro dividers in the padded camera compartment are way too tall. When I pack it to its maximum capacity with lenses and whatnot, then add my camera, the backside of the camera will sit higher than the compartment itself. When I zip up the opening, there is a bulge from the backside of the camera pressing against the flap. To remedy this problem I had to cut the dividers and sew up the seams. After doing so, the camera sits flush with the top edge of the compartment and the zippered flap is able to close nicely with no bulge. My camera is on the larger side (5d mark 2), so if you have a smaller camera this might not be a problem for you. Also, because this is a smaller daypack type of bag, I am not able to fit my 70-200 f2.8 in the padded compartment. It fits lengthwise, but with another lens and camera in there, it will not fit. I have to put it in the upper zipped compartment.
Overall I'm happy with this bag (after making some alterations), but gave it a 4 star rating because it wasn't perfect right off the bat.
