The official photos and descriptions on Amazon and the Lowepro site don't provide a complete picture of the similarities and differences between the two bags. Hopefully this review/description will help clear things up:

I ordered the Lowepro 250 AW and was sent a standard Lowepro 250 by accident. The standard bag receives high marks everywhere you look, so I kept the standard model and re-ordered the 250 AW to compare and contrast. Notes are below:

SIMILARITIES

Total camera storage space in the bottom segment is the same.

Both camera compartments have speed access: side zippers that allow you to pull your arm out of the right shoulder strap, sling the bag around on your left shoulder, and then unzip only a small portion of the camera compartment to remove the body and attached lens (without exposing the rest of your camera gear).

Velcro segments to configure the camera compartment is around the same though the AW comes with one longer/skinner segment apparently designed to horizontally separate a compartment for two microphones

Storage in the top segment is the same.

Contruction materials/quality appear to the same.

DIFFERENCES

SHOULDER STRAPS

250: One strap has a built-in "cell phone" pouch (albeit a very small pouch would hold a large pocket knife/leatherman tool. The other strap has an elastic loop into which you can insert other Lowepro pouches for holding additional gear.

AW: No pouches or pouch holders instead, a plastic D ring is on each strap for carabiners, etc...

WAIST STRAPS

250: Has a couple inches of padding on each side before the strap for theoretically more comfort. Straps cannot be tucked away

AW: Straps are attached directly to the bag no padding to "ease" the transition. Pockets on the bag allow you to stash the straps out of the way if you don't want/need them

STERNUM STRAPS

250: None

AW: Included. Are vertically adjustable on each side for comfort

SIDES OF PACK

250: Open weave mesh pouch with elasticized compression cord on one side; zippered pouch on the other. No tripod pouch.

AW: closed weave mesh pouch on one side. Below this pouch is a tripod pouch that can be pulled out when needed and tucked away when not needed. No zippered pouch on opposite side

TOP COMPARMENT

250: Exteior of the compartment has a zippered pocket for holding relatively flat items like manuals. Interior has two small Velcro-covered pockets for various items and a two pen pockets. Approximately a 3x5 elasticized mesh pocket.

AW: Exteior of the compartment has a zippered pocket for holding relatively flat items like manuals. Compression straps are attached to both sides of the exterior of this compartment to keep things strapped down (including a tripod on one side). Interior of compartment has one flat pocket (for a manual, map or something flat) with no Velcro closures. A clear plastic business card-sized pocket for business card/ID tag. A slightly larger elasticized mesh pocket than the 250. A zippered pocket in the back of the this compartment (again, flatter items only). An elastic strap at the bottom of this compartment holds down a removable gear pouch. The interior of this zippered gear pouch has 5 elastic loops for keeping cords organized as well as 3 plastic "popsicle sticks" that slide in the loops that prevent your cables from becoming tangled. (I'm sure there's a technical term for this, but I'm not a photographer). The interior also includes 2 small pockets. The exterior of the removed pouch has a zippered pocket.

CAMERA COMPARTMENT

250: A flap with zippered pocket covers most of the camera compartment it attaches to the backpack with two straps. When you open the camera compartment, two small Velcro pockets (sized to hold memory cards) are attached to the "lid".

AW: no flap just a strap to prevent you from opening the camera compartment too far if using the speed access (see above under "similarities"). When you open the camera compartment, two small Velcro pockets (sized to hold memory cards) are attached to the "lid".

COMPUTER COMPARTMENT

250: Side access only (same side as the speed access zippers for the camera compartment)

AW: Zippers cover the top half of the bag for top access/limited side access. I can't measure the interior of the computer pocket, but it "feels" bigger perhaps because of the top access)

RAIN COVER

250: none.

AW: Built in. Can be tucked away to the underside of the bag.

I ultimately went with the AW model, primarily for the tripod holder. Though I won't be taking video equipment, I'll use the small bag in the top compartment to store cords iPhone/iPad charger, etc...It was a tough choice, though I am not a videographer and therefore didn't need the removable gear bag in the top compartment. Since I liked some of the design features/exterior pockets on the standard 250 model, I was considering going with the standard model and then purchasing a sternum strap and rain cover separately.

The bottom line is you have two good options depending on your needs, which I guess is why Lowepro is selling to variations of the "same" bag.

This is a great backpack altogether. Here are some gripes:

1. When fully loaded with a tripod, it might be heavier than is practical to carry. The backpack itself is quite hefty, weighing in at almost 4 pounds EMPTY. The comparable Fastpack 250 is about 0.5lb lighter

2. The area allocated to holding your camera and lens is a bit tight for my taste. If I have a wide angle lens mounted (eg. 82mm ring size) the fit is tight enough that taking the camera out causes the zoom to extend. That's probably not so great for the lens. I also have a Cokin P mount on my lens at times, and this makes it an even tighter fit sometimes I worry it will break the holder in the process of taking it in and out. All this can be solved by removing the adjacent partitions, but then what's the point of getting this backpack if not for all the lens carrying capacity? I'm sure the 350AW would work better in this regard because it's roomier, but then you have an even BIGGER backpack! Take a look at the picture here with the backpack open and loaded with a camera if you don't understand this particular concern

3. The camera can only be accessed from the LEFT side when the pack hangs off your left shoulder. If you are left-handed, this might feel unnatural to you or be annoying to folks who prefer to hang their backpack on their right shoulder instead of their left

Here is what I liked:

1. Unlike the comparable Fastpack 250, it has a tripod holder, weather cover built in, and it has chest straps

2. It is well-padded both for your back and equipment

3. There are a lot of little pockets, many zippered or velcro'd to hold little odds and ends

4. There is plenty of room for my 17" HP laptop. This pack is rated to hold a 15" laptop and the 350 AW is supposed to be the one to get for a 17". But I can tell you that the 250 AW had the room without problems. Don't get the bigger pack just to hold your bigger laptop.

5. Without a tripod hanging off it, the pack is not very conspicuous to would-be camera-thieves

Overall, an excellent pack with key improvements over the slightly older model: Fastpack 250. I recommend it.

I absolutely love this bag. I can't really find any faults with it. It is perfect for those like me that only have a couple of lenses. It has a sturdy build, great assortment of pockets, and is comfortable to wear. I have a Canon T2i and have a 50mm and 17-40mm lens that fit in the camera section perfectly, along with space for my charger, hood, extra batteries, and laptop cord. What I really love about the bag is that it has a section for carry other items besides camera stuff. All my friends that have bags can only fit camera stuff, which works for them because they have a lot of gear. However, I wanted a bag that could fit my gear and other things because I want to use it for traveling and this was the best one that I found from my research. There aren't really a lot out there and I didn't want to get one of those small shoulder camera bags.

It also fits well under the seat on a plane. The other feature I love is the fact that it doesn't look like a camera bag. It is pretty plain looking and I'm even considering putting a patch over the Lowepro logo to make it look even less like a camera bag. It is nice that the logo is black already.

A few other features I really appreciate is the built-in weather cover, the fact that it stands upright when you put it on the floor, and the ability to tuck away the waist strap, which was a big reason I bought this bag over the Lowepro Fastpack 250.

I highly recommend this bag and can't say enough good about it. It has everything you could ask for, plus it look great.

Honest reviews on Lowepro LP36393-PAM DSLR Video Fastpack 250 AW (Black)

So I was looking for a bag that I could take on a trip to Washington DC and I had a few qualifications:

1) would have to make it through airports as a carry on bag, and stow under the seat in front of me on the plane

2) Would hold at least my laptop (Macbook Pro) and possibly an iPad

3) Carry my Canon 7D and a lens or two, plus charger and a few CF cards

4) Carry misc cables, phone charger, incredicharge 11000, and a few other knick knacks

This bag fit the bill perfectly. It carried a 7D with Tamron 28-75 2.8 mounted, along with a 50 1.8, and a 430EX flash, along with the camera charger and CF cards in the bottom portion which carries the camera stuff. I probably could have mounted my 70-200 2.8, and brought the 28-75 and 50mm, but I didn't think I would need the larger zoom for walking around.

In the laptop section, I slid the macbook pro AND the iPad Bonus!

In the upper section (the video section), I carried the Macbook plug, iPad charger, incredicharge 11000 backup battery, phone charger, some headphones, and a few other misc items. Needless to say it was packed full. I also slipped in a Kingston USB3 card reader in the zipper pouch portion on the top video section.

Now carrying this load all day, and I mean from about 9a 7pm, it was a ton to lug around. The bag ended up being heavy and full VERY full, but even being heavy I was still able to swing it around and grab the camera from the stowaway area without taking it off completely which made it convenient while seeing the sites. I honestly will probably ditch my other bags in favor of this one, however will probably leave the laptop and other gear in the hotel room next time we go out and about.

One quick note, I was going to purchase this from Amazon, but ended up with last minute travel requirements so I went to a local store and paid the same price. Nothing against Amazon, just would not have gotten it in time.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The search for top quality all purpose travel gear that can protect my cameras and laptop ends with this Lowepro backpack. It offers prime time durability and protection. Not only is this bag a workhorse, it offers several customizable solutions for storage of my gear.

The camera compartment measures in at 10.24" x 5.51" x 9.65" and easily accommodates my DSLR. I had my worries about storage space for my 15" laptop. The top loading laptop compartment provides just the right amount of real estate at 11.42" x 1.38" x 15.75". The roomy front compartment measures 6.69" x .079" x 9.25". Exterior dimensions are 12.99" x 9.84" x 18.70". Empty weight is just under four pounds. I was able to carry two extra lenses not including my camera mounted one, accessories and my laptop with no storage nightmares.

The padded dividers are first rate and allow for easy customization.The quality of the exterior nylon black body is great. Unlike many knockoffs out there, the stitching job is superb. The zippers are first rate. The side entry pocket is sweet. With a quick rotation I've got my hands on my camera gear. I like the removable utility pouch. I primarily use it for storing cables and anything else that happens to find its way in there.

Lowepro's signature hide away, all weather cover is still one of the best. It does a great job of keeping my gear dry and stores back into its compartment without complications. The padding on the nylon shoulder straps is very comfortable. The foldout tripod holder and strap are definitely a welcome addition. I'm not a big fan of any backpack waist belt system but this one is better then most. The gusseted side pocket is alright for temporary storage but nothing more. A more secure option would have been better. The carry handle has a great feel.

The overall quality and versatility of this bag speaks for itself. Its not just a bag for DSLR cameras by any means. It easily accommodates my laptop, tablet, and host of other items. For air travel, I found out first hand that its the perfect carry on. When on board the plane I had zero problems with under the seat storage. With a limited lifetime warranty this Lowepro bag is definitely built to last. I highly recommend it.

Ape Case Pro Medium Camera Messenger Review

My criteria for bags is non-negotiable, and finding a bag that fits this criteria took a long time. First, it has to be top loading. Second, it needs to have at least one side pocket, and one front pocket. Third, a bright interior is a huge plus. Fourth, it needs to be reasonably weather-proofed. Finally, it needs to be well-padded.

I was pleasantly surprised when I found this bag online after hours of searching. I had spent several more hours at camera shops around the city, and the prices they were asking, for bags that did not meet all of my criteria, was not justifiable for me. So, I thought taking a chance on the Ape Case was a measured risk. I'm probably not the only one who has had that experience. Frankly, I looked at the price of this case and wondered why they were charging so little when all other bags were double the price. But, I ordered anyway.

I ordered the medium instead of the large, as the internal dimensions are identical in length and width. The medium bag is about one inch shorter in height. Ultimately, internal dimensions are the most important to me, and I didn't think that missing one inch of height would be a big deal. So, I went with the medium. (Sidenote: If the internal dimensions of the large are really almost exactly the same, as all the websites I found suggested, the large bag can certainly not be considered large.)

Now for the bag itself. The side pocket is a little "tight." It has spots for extra memory cards, and several elastic loops for pens, etc. But, this side pocket can't really be stuffed full. Over time the material may relax to give more flexibility. The front pocket is the same, so don't buy this bag expecting to be able to jam those pockets full of goodies.

One of my favorite features is the zip pocket on the front flap, just above where the Ape Case logo is sewn on. That is ideal when traveling for putting flight tickets and passports in. On that note, the first week I got this bag I got caught in monsoon-type weather. Despite having an umbrella, my bag got soaked as I walked. Inside my bag was my camera, lens, battery, and my passport. Once I was inside the train station I opened up my case to assess the damage. But, there wasn't any. Not a single drop had gotten through, and the bag had been exposed to more than a reasonable amount of rain.

The following week I was on the street, and dropped my fully loaded bag onto the concrete. Again, I sat down and opened up the case to assess the damage. Again, there wasn't any. Everything was exactly where I had put it when I packed for that day.

The interior is obviously bright yellow, and it makes opening the bag a joy in itself.

The only thing I changed on the bag was with the clasps that hang off each side of the bag. In total, there are three. One clasp closes the front flap. Then, there are two more, one on the left and one on the right, used to keep the bag more tightly shut, I guess. I cut off the two on the sides of the bag off. I'll never use them, they're clunky, and they make it needlessly difficult to get into the bag. Also, the clasps are made of very light weight plastic. I'm not sure how long the remaining clasp will last. But, I assume it serves a dual purpose: it cuts weight and cost.

Overall, this bag meets and exceeds my criteria for a camera case. Don't let the price deter you. It might be half the price of a lot of other camera bags, but it is not half the camera bag. In the few short weeks I've had it, it's been put through more than it's fair share of abuse, and has performed better than I would have ever expected. Ultimately, this bag gives me what I most expect from a bag: security. I can put my camera and travel documents inside, and know that they are safe and sound.

Just got done configuring this case, I'm already in love. Plenty of space, I have all my cords, guides, storage, power, filters, 3 lenses (2 long), camera, covers, cleaning, and a monopod on here and still have room for a flash and battery grip (my next upgrades). Tough shell, nice padding, indiscriminate look. Especially appreciate the metal hooks for the shoulder strap. Glad I didn't get the small version, but I won't need anything bigger for a long time. Highly recommended.

We got a new digital SLR and shopped quite a bit for this bag. I can fit:

This camera with a medium lens

a telephoto lens

the digital handicam (it is a smaller one)

the coolpix little digital 35mm in its case

the old film SLR with a medium lens

securely in this bag with all the dividers. Plus extra filters, and assorted junk in all the outer pockets.

...and carry it comfortably.

As others have noted the yellow interior really is a help.

The only thing I would change is that the 3 latches for the top are a little loose, so if you don't zip the bag when you are wanting easy access, when you lift it by the top handle, it always feels insecure. It really isn't (3 latches work fine with a good overlap top to side for protection), but I wish it didn't scare me everytime I lift it.

Honest reviews on Ape Case Pro Medium Camera Messenger

When I first saw the name "Ape Case" on this camera bag, I didn't think much of it, except, "what a goofy name". So, just out of curiosity, I clicked on the product link, on Adorama, actually, and just had to take a look.

I really liked the bright yellow interior, and the reviews were overwhelmingly positive. And the price was right in the neighborhood to fit my budget.

I finally narrowed my choices down to the Ape Case, but didn't know which one, the Medium, or the Large bag. I decided to go with the Medium, as it was a bit cheaper, and figured if I didn't think it was big enough, I'd send it back and go with the Large. Well, it turns out that my Canon T2i wearing a battery grip with 18-55mm kit lens, 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS zoom, Speedlite 430, battery charger and cord, camera and lens owners manuals, Lens Pen, video and USB cables, lens caps, set of filters, timer remote, and probably a few other things all live in the Medium size bag, still with room to spare... I think I could still get at least 2 more lenses in there comfortably... room to grow! The only difference between the Medium and the Large, is that the Large is about an inch or so deeper, the length and width measurements are the same. If you have a full frame Pro body like an EOS 1D or similar, or some longer zooms, you might want the Large bag, for the extra depth.

One thing I am having a bit of a dilemma with, though, is creating the optimum arrangement in the main compartment. As the bag comes, everything fits perfectly in the compartments as they are arranged, as long as I have the 18-55mm lens on the body... but the 55-250mm zoom will not fit when installed on the body. So, I removed one of the dividers (they are held in place by velcro) and rearranged the remaining dividers to make room for the body and tele zoom installed. But now, that left me with 2 less "compartments", but actually more "room". All the dividers are removeable, so you can customize this bag to your needs. You just have to decide exactly what your needs are, and how to arrange your bag.

The divider that is made for the body and installed lens actually elevates the body/lens up off the bottom of the bag, making a "secret compartment" under it where you can store seldom used parts like the body cap or ???.

The bag has excellent construction, and good thick (feels like a closed cell foam) padding. Unless the bag gets run over by a truck, or sat on by an elephant, everything inside will be well protected. I've not had it in the rain yet, but I think it would take quite a downpour for any water to make it's way inside. The bag top is held shut by a double zipper, and then secured with a plastic snap clasp on both sides and in the center also. If you hide both zipper handles under the front flap, then secure all the snap clasps, it would be quite difficult for anyone in a crowd to get their hand inside the bag without you knowing about it... it's good and secure. But, that same security also means that it does take a bit of doing to get inside yourself, also. If you need quick access, you could leave the zippers open, and just secure the front clasp, but sacrifice some of the security.

The shoulder strap has a rubberized pad on it, and it stays on my shoulder fairly well. It gets the job done.

There are zippered pockets on the top cover and flap, inside and out, on the right side of the bag outside, and the front of the bag outside. The left side of the bag outside has a mesh pocket secured with a drawstring and keeper ball. I haven't figured out yet what to keep in there, I wish it was another zippered pocket instead, to be honest. I guess it would be good to carry an 8-pack of AA batteries for the Speedlite.

In all, I'm pretty satisfied with the Ape Case Medium bag. Excellent protection for everything inside, the bright yellow interior makes it easy to see dark colored items like lens caps and lens pens, and it has enough room inside of all my stuff and then some.

I like this bag, but I wish the external walls were stiffer. The interior is spacious enough for my Nikon D300 w/18-200 lens and with the MB-D10 battery attachment with room leftover for the detached flash unit and some other minor accessories. If the 18-200 lens were detached from the body, I could have squeezed another lens in the bag. That makes it a little too heavy for my taste. Besides, I like the 70-200 lens attached for that quick candid shot or the fleeting deer on the side of the road. The bright yellow interior of the case is a definite plus when looking for those small black camera things hiding on the bottom. The Velcro lined segments are very versatile if you want to customize the interior. Personally, I don't have the patience for it. It's a good bag. You shouldn't be disappointed with it. Joe

Well made semi-hard shell case. I bought this for a Sony Cybershot DSC-HX50V/B digital camera. Fits the camera well with no wiggle room and well protected. However, there is no room for an extra battery, cord or memory card in the mesh pouch because I'm concerned a battery, etc. would press against either the LCD camera screen or damage the shutter, depending on how the camera is oriented in the case. I store my camera with the lens facing the top of the case (the case front has the embossed concentric rectangles) and don't close the Velcro straps because the straps would overlap on the camera shutter, creating a bump that could damage the mechanical shutter. I researched many cases and like this one because it's compact and I didn't want a large bulky case.

This case is not something I would take out in the field, but for storing my gear at home, it is great. I like that the compartments are deep and you can move the little velcro separator-things around to fit your stuff. I have several small prime lenses and none of them have their own cases, so I stack them with one of the small separator-things in between lenses. I also like that there are several little pockets on the inside and outside which is great for keeping filters, extra batteries, etc. I have a smaller bag that I use when I go out with my camera, but this one suits my intended usage just fine. And--bonus!--it's really cheap (as in price, not quality)!!!

I purchased this DSLR as, 1) I prefer the SLR format, something I am used to and, 2) I have had a lot of experience using an older Pentax SLR. Even though the older unit was film format (the basic K1000 model), it served me very well for over 20 years with no problems, easy use, and excellent photos. The older SLR camera was used all over the world from cold climes of eastern Europe's mountain tops to the sultry/humid jungles along the Amazon River. It took the trips and use well in such environments and performed wonderfully. So I was pre-disposed to Pentax at the outset. I did several comparisons to the other brands and even though I have a large Nikon SLR now, I went with this Pentax DSLR for a variety of reasons. Among these were the crystal clear screen and the extensive menu of available functions to utilize with it. To date I have obtained wonderfully crisp and clear photos in situations ranging from early dawn to sunsets, landscapes to kids, and the places I have taken it are not what one would call "forgiving" for sensitive photo-systems. In short, this baby performs. I chose the 28mm to 80mm zoom along with a 150mm additional lens. Good choices for me as all have performed very well and when interfaced with my laptop, touch-ups and edits are a breeze! Believe me, I have recieved many "oooh's" and "ahhh's" with my photos from this. But the camera does not do all the work. One needs to have a grasp on the basic elements of photography in order to achieve the desired product. The point of this review is to define that the camera has all the features that, when properly used, give whatever one may wish to obtain. One main warning: learn to use the manual until you are familiar with the levels of controls available in the on-board menu. They are extensive, ranging from simple point and click photos to making videos (battery draining, for sure). In addition, a hand-held remote shutter control is cheap and great to have at times. So I recommend the camera system, available here on Amazon at a very competitive price. In fact, best prices and availability. The camera? Really good, very functional, tough and durable as I have taken it into some rough, hot/humid and extremely cold envrionments, and it kept on working just great. Is it as beautiful to look at as the Nikons or even Canons? No. But it will do about whatever those models can and at a much more affordable price. I give it a "4 star" rating as it simply is not the most deluxe model one could obtain. But it is a worker and its photos are tremendous in the right hands. Great Photos for All! Daryl

Excellent product. Large enough to carry my camera and accessories plus iPad but not too bulky or heavy to wear. Also, very comfortable and ergonomic.

This back pack style sling bag has plenty of room and I am able to keep all my lenses and batteries and other supplies at my finger tips in a very organized fashion. There are two main storage areas but plenty of pockets for other necessities. I also like the one shoulder sling style.

This is nicely padded and the perfect size for my Canon. The little zipper pouch holds an extra battery so it is always handy. I picked a distinctive color so it wouldn't get mixed up with the other cameras in the house owned by men.

I really like the quality of it overall, but I was slightly disappointed. Because the case said it was for the camera i have i expected it to fit snug, instead it is a bit loose. I went with this lilac color, but after recieving it I knew the green would have been a ton better.

Cheap Sony LCS-AMSC30 Soft Digital SLR Carrying Case for Sony Alpha

Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

I have strugled for a while searching for a camera bag for my DSLR camera that is medium in size that can take all my little gear and have room for future expansion.

I am not a pro-photographer with super telephoto lenses and havey gear. infact I am an amature who enjoy photography as a hobby.

let me start by listing what I have in the bag;

1 Nikon D40 6.1MP Digital SLR 18-55mm Camera Kit lens (Yes, am a Nikon user)

2 Nikon 18-200mm Zoom-Nikkor Lens

3 Nikon 70-300mm VR Zoom Nikkor

4 Nikon SB-600 Speedlight Flash for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras

5 Digital Concepts Silver Mini Tripod with Extension Legs and Tilt Head

so I was able to put in my camera and two extra lenses, a speed flash and mini-tripod.

plus,

Camera filters, cleaning kit, user manual, digital field guide book, extra camera battery and AAA batteries.

and there is still more room, for extra small lens and another flash unit or anything I can think of in the future.

I strongly recomend this bag for anyone who have more/less of the items above. regardless what DSLR camera you use.

I rate this bag as 5 stars for the following reasons,

Duribility: The bag is made from high quality fabric and the bag it self is light

Space: lots of room, with velcro dividers. I did not have to change any of the setup as it was very nicely partitioned for various needs and pockets.

Price: spot on!

looks: Everyone complimented this bag when they saw me carrying it... however, this bag looks a typical camera bag and for those who want a camera bag which do not look typical, I recomend the Tamrac 3548 Express Pack 8 (Khaki) for everyday use and this bag for traveling or full day photography sessions.

This bag will hold all your camera needs. Plenty of room for all your lenses, camera body, extra battery, charger and even my sony camcorder. Well padded and on the whole a well thought out bag, however I would have to agree about the handle on the back it does make it "carry at an awkward angle". This is not a problem if you prefer as I do the shoulder strap. I read a lot of reviews on a lot of different bags before choosing this one. I'm very pleased with the purchase and would recommend it to anyone who has a lot of camera equipment and doesn't want to carry a "piece of luggage" around. It is lightweight and sturdy a great combination which makes this bag a good choice for the price.

This camera bag is well made. Has good padding. It handles Sony Alpha Series DSLR camera body, three lenses, extra batteries, flash cards, plus charger and cords. The shoulder strap is comfortable but the hand carrying strap seems more like an after thought. When using the hand strap the bag hangs at an awkward angle. All in all I'm quite pleased with the bag.

Honest reviews on Sony LCS-AMSC30 Soft Digital SLR Carrying Case for Sony Alpha

Looks like a first-class bag, but I failed to look too closely at the specs. This is a really big bag, a good one to hold multiple lenses and a lot of other gear. Had to return it for something that worked with my A65 and a single lens for maximum portability (check out Tenba).

This lil guy is pretty snazzy !!! I was pleasantly supprised when I got it(fast shipping). It feels pretty solid but I DO worry about the rivets(kinda chinsey) and don't know how long they will hold.

The inside is nice but I noticed the rubber grooved liner WAS NOT installed correctly and doesn't line up precisely with the included spacer bars.Bummer. So i simply won't use those parts, not to big of a deal.

I will update as I use it more. Thus the 3 stars SO FAR.

Thanks,Mako/

I have 2 of these camera cases and they are great for storing camera equipment. I can hold the camera body, two zoom lenses, a couple of other smaller lenses, and a spare battery. The only thing is it is not great for traveling and the case gets scratched easily. But that is a small price to pay to protect my camera equipment.

I bought the bag for a 7D plus two zoom and a 50 lens. Lots of pockets for safe storage of accessories. As a carryon bag for travel it gives excellent protection for cameras and lenses. I gave it four stars for this. It misses five because storing two lenses and a camera with the 50 lens attached takes great thought and creativity. Needs more detachable pads. Also the black interior and narrow top opening make it difficult to store items and find them in a hurry. Grey pads would be a good upgrade. The security flap is an excellent idea, especially as it leaves one free pocket for tickets, passport etc. This free pocket rides against the body giving extra protection. Don't even consider this for a trip with frequent shooting and action shots. A swing around back-pack would be the shot. Plane, car or bus trip--excellent value.
