Buy Portable Digital SLR Camera Backpack Sling Bag for Nikon D7100

Customer Ratings:

At first glance this item is not a bad looking camera bag at all , very similar to other name brands look like . I purchased/ordered this camera bag on 5/13/2012 . I have used it sparingly however on 10/1/2012 the bag , while still appearing in like new condition on the surface with the exception of a couple of zipper pulls having broken off , the bags upper left strap came apart . Also one of the inner dividers velcro tore away and is not repairable . At the time i was carrying my Nikon D5100 , a 35mm lens along with other minor accessories which are all well within the described capabilities of the bag . I don't think a bag that is less than 5months old should be deemed useless , however , useless is it exactly what it is . I did notify the seller ( Accessory Genie )and have been informed that they ( the seller Accessory Genie ) only cover the product up to 45 days and thereafter the matter has to be handle by the manufacturer , fair enough , i can't fault the seller . Based on the QUALITY of this product , or LACK THERE OF ; I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS CAMERA BAG as it is of a POOR QUALITY . Don't take my word for and find out for yourself , but know that after 45 daysit is out of the sellers ( Accessory Genie ) hand .

This can not begin to cary as many lenses as I would of wanted. That is my fault though. Just a friendly warning.

Honest reviews on Portable Digital SLR Camera Backpack Sling Bag for Nikon D7100

Wow, this thing is almost pretty much what I needed and didn't know I needed it. I put my D7100 camera (with a 35mm prime lens) on the top compartment, paperwork and stuff on the back side, an extra lens in the main compartment, along with the battery charger, filters etc. I have a 72 inch tripod and although it seems slightly bigger than I'd want (which is purely the tripod's fault and not this backpack's), it still seems to fit OK with two legs instead of three plugged into the fitting created to support the tripod.

This thing basically is big enough to carry all my stuff, but small enough so that I don't try to carry even more unnecessary stuff. In fact, at one point I carried a 55-300 zoom lens and an 80-200 zoom lens to test, in addition to the camera and prime lens on the top.

The point is this thing works for certain setups, it's decent in price, holds what I need, is extremely comfortable, and seems to be of high quality. AND, it has a rain bag cover and chest and waist straps so that no one can grab your pack and run with it while you have it on.

CONS: The only thing I found was that the way the Velcro stuff is rearranged in the main compartment (meant to place your camera body in sideways like the picture) means you can't easily put the camera in with a large zoom lens AND separate the main compartment with the provided section pieces in such a way that the camera body is on the bottom and the zoom lens is towards the center/top section of the main compartment. Luckily my wife had some Velcro strips that has a sticky on the other side. I had to add three Velcro strips to various places in order to separate the main compartment into three sections: the main one for the camera and zoom lens, and the two sides for my filters and such. One star off for this.

I ordered this backpack to bring my Nikon D5100 along when I was skiing.

The backpack just holds the camera, an extra lens (55-200mm), and my flash (SB700), which was perfect for my needs. There is plenty of little pockets to hold SD cards, remote, extra battery, etc, and a couple of KitKats. It is easily adjustable and the waist and torso straps hold it firmly in place during physical activities. It is really clever that the backpack opens three ways for easy access to different accessories. The "mobile phone" pocket is way to small for a modern smartphone, and the dividers are somewhat difficult to adjust to different configurations, but otherwise it is a very good product that I highly recommend.

Cheap Crumpler GEA001-X01T55 Gourmet Extravaganza Camera Bag (Black)

Customer Ratings:

I own 3 other Crumpler Bags. 3 and 6 Million Dollar Homes, and the Whickey and Cox. I knew the build quality and reliability of this bag was going to be high.

The size holds everything that I need to take on a shoot. Even some Westcott Double folding umbrellas, and the dividers are the perfect size for any layout. But I could have used a few more, to get everything snug.

The thickness of the dividers is pretty thin, thinner than any of my other Crumpler Bags. But, with a bag designed for space, they had to compromise a little thickness. Though the thickness does not bother me, everything is still secure and padded.

The entire sectioning area can be pulled out and the bag can be made into one large cavity. You can use it as a luggage bag this way.

The lock on the side is very handy and the tripod holder was very well done. It even held my larger tripod, the Slik 700dx.

All in all, you get what you pay for, a very high quality and high capacity bag.

Pelican 1510 Case with Foam for Camera (Desert Tan) Reviews

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $271.95
Sale Price: $160.88
Today's Bonus: 41% Off

I purchased this case with foam to protect Nikon equipment used for wedding, location portraiture and sports photography. The Pelican cases are outstanding and are as good as equipment cases get. The waterproof neoprene O-ring gasket, pressure equalization valve and latch design set Pelican cases apart. The 1510's max-allowable carry-on size is a huge selling point if you have even a 1% chance of travel with expensive equipment you want to keep it in your immediate proximity, not in some disgruntled and underpaid baggage handler's tender care. It's a bit on the heavy side if you're used to a soft-sided camera bag, but you would expect that from such a durable case.

The down side of this purchase for me was the "pluckable" foam (which you should cut and never pluck). The foam is a great concept and gives better protection (if cut with thick foam sections between items) than the alternative 1515 Padded Divider set Pelican sells. However, it's VERY unforgiving once cut it's cut. (Tips on cutting foam are below). I recommend you SERIOUSLY consider purchase of an empty 1510 case (no foam) and additionally purchasing the 1515 Padded Divider set instead of the 1510 with pluckable block foam. This will give you much more flexibility and simplicity (unless you never plan on adding new equipment) while still protecting your equipment. For this reason I will eventually (probably very soon) trash the very expensive foam and will buy the 1515 divider set.

If you decide to stick with the foam, hey, it's your money, but here are some tips which will make you less dangerously postal after realizing your mistake:

0) The case comes with 4 foam layers, two thin ones for bottom and the lid, and two thicker ones with the grid of semi-pre-cut pluckable foam. I will be referring to "marking the foam" below. This is done in the thick layers with toothpicks. Gently work a toothpick in to the corner of where the little 1/2 inch foam blocks come together. I'll use the term "hole" for the space you cut out for your equipment. Notice I said cut not pluck. Use a serrated steak knife to gently saw through the semi-pre-cut pluckable blocks for the neatest appearance. Let's make this look professional, OK?

1) Take all the foam out and look at the bottom of the case. See those intruding wheel wells and the intruding handle well? (Pelican had to intrude those into the case's interior to make it fit the airline's luggage size requirements). You don't want your $2000 camera setting on that wheel well as it vibrates while rolling over asphalt or grouted tile. Use the thin bottom foam pad to mark these areas off on the thick pad and only put in shallow holes (no cutting into the bottom thick foam layer) for items such as a flash or 50mm lens in these areas. You don't want tall items like a camera body here! I cut out areas so the bottom layer of foam sits better on the wheel wells optional, but now the top layer of foam doesn't ride up on these corners.

2) Plan on leaving at least 2 to 3 foam blocks (1" to 1.5") of space between all your equipment. Thin foam will be VERY flimsy and will tear when your equipment is being inserted into the holes.

3) Make sure you clearly mark both thick layers with toothpicks, masking tape or something similar so you always know which side is the top. This is way more important than it sounds.

4) Get all your equipment out and arrange it on one of the thick layers, and start marking the foam while arranging your equipment. Remember you may be buying more equipment, so keep your holes grouped fairly close and leave unused space as contiguous as possible. For this step you're looking at everything from above and thinking in 2 dimensions width and depth. Just marking, no sawing yet...

5) Now for the 3rd dimension of height measure to see if the equipment is taller than a single layer of thick foam. These holes will have to be extended through both layers.

6) OK, it's time to get your steak knife and get ready to start sawing. Try to saw out the holes in complete blocks and set them aside to store them. This will greatly aid in fixing problems later on. Tell little Johnny to get away from them give him some bubble-wrap instead. Don't drink alcohol until you're finished. You'll probably need some when you are finished though I suggest The Glenlevit & water on the rocks, but without the water...

7) Think you're done? Wrong. Now work your equipment all the way into the holes and get the cut-out blocks you set aside earlier. Put the cut-outs on top of the equipment so they are level and mark how deep they go down into the hole with a toothpick. Measure from the bottom to the toothpick with a ruler to determine how deep it inserted into the equipment-filled hole. Now transfer that measurement to the TOP of the block instead of the bottom. For instance, if the bottom of the block inserts .75" into the hole, mark off .75" from the TOP of the block. Now saw through that plane with your serrated knife, perpendicular to the semi-pre-cut cuts. Try to be as neat and even as possible. Still looks bad when you're done, right? Since you follow directions well and measured this from the top and not the bottom, the ugly side will not be visible when impressionable clients look into our custom camera case when the equipment is removed. Remove the equipment from the hole, take the top piece you cut with the ugly side down and insert it into the bottom of the hole, then reinsert the equipment, and Hey Look! It's flush with the top!

8) How many mistakes did you make? OK, now move all your equipment a safe distance away, like the next room. Go get some Elmer's glue and put tiny super-thin lines of glue on your mistake blocks, glue them back in very carefully inserting them from the bottom so we don't get any glue on the outside visible parts of the foam. Set the two patched thick foam layers on their tops so the glue you still managed to smear on the bottom doesn't stick to anything (a wet washcloth will help with cleaning up excess glue). Now wait until tomorrow for it to dry so you can go back to step 4. It is now safe to grace a few ice cubes with the gentle caress of some Glenlevit while you wait for tomorrow's adventure in foam cutting.

FINIS) Well, painful though it was, I promise it was less painful than if you would have wouldn't have followed my awesome instructions. Now that it's a couple of hours (or days) later and you're nerves are completely frazzled and that bottle of The Glenlevit is a number of inches lower than before you started, don't you wish you would have listened to my advice about purchasing an empty 1510 and the 1515 Padded Dividers?

For my business I often must travel on short notice so I have a "go kit" packed for 3 day stays designed for carryon travel, and now its all in this case. Let me explain some things not shown in the picture.

First, on the back is the famous roller wheels and pull-out handle for getting through the airports. They are made of black plastic typical pelican tough stuff and don't show here.

Second, this case is sized for the maximum allowable carry-on size, which means no hassles at the airport.

Third, it comes with 2 layers of the famous pick and pluck foam insert. This does the job, but its not a custom fit for everything out there and looks funny. You can also buy closed cell foam sheets and trace out your product's outline, then I like to use an electric carving knife like you'd use on the thanksgiving turkey to cut clean lines and curves. That's a personal matter if I'm traveling, I have smaller pieces of foam for sensitive stuff and often put clothes and such in the rest of the case, taking out the pelican foam.

Fourth, Pelican re-designed their tough as nails snaps. While they kept things closed tight, often getting them open after temperature and pressure changes could be a challenge. The new snap is a 2 step design with a closure step, followed by a locking step. This gives the same strength as before but without busting thumbs to get the snaps open.

Finally, the whole box is tough as nails. Just a note here, it is a heavy piece of carry on but most airlines don't weigh that yet. All the hinges are designed for the rigors of being kicked, dropped, water landings, etc and with proper packing your inside contents are ready to go.

I have one other Pelican travel case that I've owned for over a decade it's their Maximum checked luggage box it's been on alot of airplanes and now has the TSA low security lock so they can peek inside (they usually do and leave me a note on top of my dirty laundry since anything of value goes with me carryon). That box also has wheels and has become much more than a box over the year. It has served as a chair, a luggage cart to carry other bags on top of its wheels, and over 10 years of air and ship travel it has some scuff marks but everything still works. It's why I insist on pelican products and why I was happy to hear they made a max carryon size. My personal view on their divider system sold separately for this case is that it's suboptimal for most applications and a tad overpriced but I'm sure it does exactly what some people need by making lots of padded compartments inside once placed.

I have tried other soft cases and semi rigid suitcase style cases for my cameras, but this is the one. I am able to get just the right amount of stuff in this case. The pluckable foam insert is a well thought out product, but make sure you get your gear layout right before you start plucking. The fact that this case is carry on size is crucial. I would love to get just a little more gear inside, but, without bending the fabric of space and time, I must say it holds as much as I could possibly ask for the size of the case. I was able to get a Canon 5D body (with battery grip), a Canon 20D body, a 24-70 "L" series lens and lens hood, a 10-22 lens for the 20D, a 70-300 (NOT an "L" series) for the 20D, an 18-55 starter lens for the 20D, card reader and cord, extra battery, 10 memory cards, polarizing filter, two canon 550 flashes, extra AA batteries for the flashes, "feet" for the flashes, the radio controller for the flashes, extra 9V battery for the controller, battery charger, AA battery insert for the battery grip, camera straps, lens brush, small multitool, and finally, extra lens caps. While there are a few other small things I would like to fit in there, that is all the breakable stuff plus some, and that is what this case if for. When I get different lenses, I will order new pluckable foam, and I like that I can do that. The pluckable foam is the way to go. Stuff is held without any movement. If a luggage handler drops this case, nothing will shift at all on the inside. That is what I call protection. If you get creative with the two layers of foam, you could probably do a two layer set up of one shallow item on top of another shallow item, but I am afraid I would forget about the item stored in the lower layer. It is a no nonsense rolling (!) case that does one thing exceptionally well protect expensive camera gear! It does that without fuss. The design of the hinges on the lid are a huge plus! They open to set amounts so that the lid holds itself open just past vertical. That way it is out the way, but doesn't slam into the floor when you open it. It is then easier to grab and close. It is a very small but brilliant thing that I now would hate not to have. The wheels roll beautifully, the pull handle extends just the right amount of distance. Don't expect a fancy handle it slides out and locks, slides in and locks. It isn't fancy, but that's the idea. Judging by the design, they planned the pull handle to be a replaceable piece in case it gets trashed. How that could happen, I have no idea, because it is simple and seemingly indestructible, but I like that they thought it through so well. This is the kind of organization and protection I have been looking for. Buy this thing, and never look back. I would also recommend two of the TSA approved Pelican locks.

Honest reviews on Pelican 1510 Case with Foam for Camera (Desert Tan)

My Pelican 1510 is my third or fourth Pelican case. I used Zero Halliburton cases for years, (I got my first in the early 1970's) but they became very full of themselves so I started looking elsewhere. I tried a huge Lowepro AW for my F5 system but it was too much to cart around for me.

The 1510 holds my Nikon D200 with MB200 Battery Pack, 3 lenses, SB800 Speedlight, ML3 Remote, Hoodman Loupe, Filters, Extra AAA Batteries, Camera Manuals and more. When I buy new equipment I order new foam. Before I cut the foam I make templates (I actually keep the old ones and just make ones for the new product) and lay them out before I cut. It's a great system.

Most importantly my gear has been protected under some pretty tough conditions. The Pelican has been carried on horse back, on my a.t.v., and on occasion it has ridden in the bed of my truck. My camera system has stayed secure and undamaged from my home area in the Arizona Sonoran Desert to trips that have included over 10,000 miles on the Alaskan Highway, Glacier Nat'l Park, and Yellowstone. It is water proof, dust proof, and bulldog proof.

This is the best case for the money that I have found. I would give it 10 stars if that rating was available.

It is a really well designed little case, and it comes with all the different belts and clips you might need. But I kind of wish it was designed with a magnetic or single-snap closure, PLUS the nice zipper as well for more weather protection. When you have the camera bag secured to your chest, you don't want to be fussing with zipping and unzipping it all the time. If I am using my Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1 extensively, I end up defaulting to just slinging the camera around my neck with its regular camera strap and setting the Clik Elite aside. It fits fine with the GX1 and the 14mm pancake lens. Should be room for a GX1 with a larger prime lens, but not a big zoom.

Not only am I impressed by the quality of the stitching and material, it is also made in the USA, which makes it even more satisfying.

Backstory:

I did quite a bit of exploring and research before settling on this pack. I wanted something a bit larger than my original bag (Lowepro Slingshot 200) and something that would be ideal for hiking. I also wanted to be able to easily carry 4 lens, a flash, and my camera body. A tripod option was preferred, but I ended up giving up on that option.

Decision:

Being a satisfied owner of a Lowepro already, one of the first bags I considered when expanding to a larger bag was a Lowepro Fastpack 350. After finding one in a store, I decided that it would be too much of a hassle to go through a zipper plus 2 buckles every time I wanted to switch a lens.

Thats when I settled on the Tamrac 3385. It has a huge amount of space (without being overly cumbersome), looks like an average backpack, and allows quick access to either my ready-to-go camera, or my lens. I do have to set it down on the ground or another surface to access the spare lens, but so far no one has come up with a better solution. The shoulder straps are comfortable and the two zipper design is sufficient.

Pros/Cons:

The waterproof zipper is a little harder to slide and tends to take 2 hands to close, but its not a big deal (I haven't tried it in weather around or below freezing though). The large zipper on the back of the pack is a bit hard to zip with one hand because the water shielding flap gets stuck in it, but its ok once you get used to it. I would prefer to have a couple more smaller compartments inside, but there's enough to work with. There is no chest strap or waist strap on the model I purchased, but I haven't missed it yet. I can always sew one on myself later if I choose to. It also seems to carry the weight of a full load nicely.

Summary:

I would recommend this pack if you're looking for something on the larger side (4 lens + flash + camera + extra gear) and fast access, inconspicuous, and comfort.

Notes:

As someone else had mentioned in a review, it is important to make sure both zippers are closed before putting the pack back on your back. I have had a couple close calls, but luckily nothing worse.

I bought this to use as a telescope eyepiece case. Hinges and latches seem to be very solid. The hinges hold the lid upright when opened. The locks on the latches are not really "locks". They will help keep the latches from accidentally opening while handling, but that is about it. They don't feel solid at all, but I bought this for safely storing/transporting my fragile eye pieces, not for security. The two layers of foam with pre-cut, tear out squares makes it easy to custom fit an opening for fragile items. It is a LOT cheaper than a similar "eyepiece case" from most any telescope manufacturer.

I'm an audio engineer who has to take different things to different houses for different gigs all the time, so I've taken to putting specific products into Vanguard cases for ease of transport. There seems to be a size for everything! These things don't get shipped, just carried on local dates, so I didn't opt for ATA style cases as I would have when I was on tour.

They all have the same professional appearance, and seem to hold up over time.

Thinking a little outside the box I bought this to store cards against humanity (and its 3 expansions).

I got the idea after I saw a friend use the same box to hold the Killer Bunnies card game (and several expansions). True, for the amount of cards available in Cards Against Humanity it's a little oversized, but that just means it has plenty of room for expansion. I would say this would work great for any game with cards of the same size (think Dominion perhaps?)

It's definitely overkill but you'll look like a bad ass bringing your card games to the table in this guy...

The case itself feels very solid and sturdy without weighing a ton. For what I bought it for though I needed the little foam squares to be uniform, and they really weren't. The lining is 3 sheets of pre-cut squares, and each sheet was offset from the rest, making it impossible to make an even opening all the way through all 3 layers. I had to use a knife to cut the openings to size, which left uneven pieces of the foam barely attached. I ended up having to glue the edges of each opening to firm them up.

Aside from the foam padding sheets the case is exactly what I was looking for.

I bought this bag to tote my new DSLR camera (Canon EOS Digital Rebel Ti1) and a couple of lenses (18-55mm & 55-250mm).

I really wanted ta sling bag, and the brown "rugged" look of the Domke was very enticing. I like things a bit unique, but not "odd"-looking. This bag fit the "cool" bill for me. It's nice enough to snap a few shots at my dd's dance competitions, but rugged enough to take hiking with my dh. I can fit my Canon with the 55-250mm lens attached (very snuggly, and I had to move the padded "dividers" around), the 18-5mm lens in the larger empty space, my extra memory card case in the smaller space, and my extra batteries in the from zip pocket....although I could probably fit one battery inside with the cards if I wanted to. I can also fit my extra lens covers/protectors inside as well. Trying the bag on, I found it very easy to access my camera through the top zipper opening. I love this bag...the only thing I would improve is to make it a bit longer. My camera really fits more snug than I am comfortable with. It could have used about an inch more in the "depth"(back of camera to front of lens measurement)...But even without that inch, it still fits everything I need, and I can get it zipped without much trouble. I may play around a little more with the dividers to get a better fit, but it's a great little bag for a day trip. I'm still not throwing out my big camera-"suitcase" to carry all the paraphernalia for long trips/vacations. All-in-all...a very cool bag.

That is an ideal "non-bulky" bag you can carry around without much worrying about bulk backpacks. If you are interested , it does not have "quick-access" pocket , but you can use zipper.

After researching reviews for weeks I thought the KATA 123 G0-20 was the bag to get.I was looking at the Tenba sling as well. Upon going to a camera store and being able to see first hand how the bag was made, I quickly realized the Tamrac 5786 was A: better made; B: better padded;C:better designed.

I'm 6-2 and not exactly a lightweight. The bag accommodates my size, can be carried any way you choose and holds a lot of gear. I can, if I choose, lug around the following: An E1 with grip, two digital lenses with hoods, 4 OMZ lenses, extra betteries, and the usual small extras.

Comparing it to a Lowepro, which was close in what it could potentially carry, I found the Lowepro to be less versatile and constructed much lighter less durable outer material and less padding. Lowepro velcro connectors were much shorter as well, so their grip was lacking compared to the 5786. The Tamrac's velcro tabs are twice as wide as any other bag I looked at.

You can easily set it up to carry it as a sling on either side, and if you are hiking for a while, the backpack mode is very comfortable. Anything associated with a given mode tucks away in the back, including the waist strap if you don't want to use it. All the hardware is metal, not plastic. Anything that could tangle or twist has a swivel there to avoid this annoying problem.

If you want a bag that holds a lot, actually protects what you carry and only want to buy one bag, I'd recommend this bag. All the competitors are made with less quality and in my opinion, poorer, less thought out designs.

Update: Sept. 2011...After using this bag for a little over a year, its still going strong. Nothing has torn or broken and it has proven to be very versatile and lived up to all expectations. Its been on several trips in the snow and canoeing. The bottom has worn very little depsite being over rocks and tossed into canoes. Despite some reviews mentioning fears it would not keep things dry, I found it has kept everything extremely well protected. The rain cover has done the job quite well in fairly heavy rain. All the zippers work as good as the day I bought it.

Quality, no matter what the item, always costs less in the end because you only have to make one purchase.

As most of you know, you can never have too many camera bags. There are so many types, styles, and many different manufacturers that selecting a bag becomes more of a personal preference. Sometimes there's a different need or functionality.

I was looking for the perfect camera backpack that was not too bulky, not too heavy, and not too big. I'm a petite person, so size and weight was important to me. Functionality was also a key factor. I wanted the backpack to be able to carry my Nikon D5000 with 18mm-200mm lens, my SB-600 flash, and maybe a fixed lens. Any extra features would be a plus as long as the bag fits my needs and requirements.

I immediately dismissed backpacks that have only the sling style straps. I've had problems with sling bags in the past. Having a strap go across my front is very uncomfortable.

My research over the Internet was very beneficial and a few manufacturers caught my attention. My only issue is unless you see the camera backpack in person and try it on for size, you have no idea if the backpack is going to work for you.

Trying It Out Before Buying:

On a whim, I headed out to my local camera store to see what they had. I saw the sling style backpack and really liked the size and narrow shape. I kept looking around and came across the Tamrac Evolution 6. They had one in black and one in the brown/tan color combination. I tried on the black version and immediately knew this might be the one.

As the salesperson showed me all the zippered storage areas, I knew I was hooked. He then proceeded to remove all the Velcro section out of the backpack, until we were left with a backpack shell. I took a peak at the inside and couldn't believe all the space I was seeing. Something neat to see.

We proceeded to put the Velcro pieces back in to come up with customized sections that I would need. Let me tell you with all that RIPPING of the Velcro pieces, they are really, really strong!

The salesperson put the store's display model camera and a similar flash unit into the bag. I tried it on and I was pleased with the size and weight distribution.

My Findings:

The straps are fully padded. Can be used as a backpack or as a sling bag. The straps can be stored and hidden in the back area which is part of the nicely padded back section. There are little cutout areas to slip the straps in when not in use.

There is a padded handle at the top of the backpack. Comes in handy to grab the bag off the floor or simply carry around.

I really like the access to the main camera compartment area. There are 3 zippered sections in this main compartment (lower half of the bag). One to access the camera from the side of the bag, one to access the accessories from another side, and one in the front of the bag to get a view of what's in the bag.

There's another zippered section at the top half of the bag that can hold some pens, camera lens cap, a fixed lens, a Point & Shoot (P&S) camera, extra batteries, etc. If left empty, I can tightly fold and store a lightweight jacket in this upper section. On the upper sides, there are some flat zippered pockets where you can store your media (CF, SDHC, etc) and also an included waterproof cover for the backpack is stored in one of the pockets.

At the front of the backpack, there is a tiny pocket at the bottom of the bag to place one of the tripod feet. There's also a buckle at the mid-section of the bag to hold the tripod in place.

In Comparison With the ThinkTank Street Walker:

They appear to be the same size. Both backpacks are made from quality materials and well padded. Each bag has a different function.

In order to access the main compartment In the ThinkTank, I have to pull the bag off of my body and lay the bag flat on the ground or prop it flat to get to the main camera compartment and pull out the camera..

To access the main camera compartment on the Evolution 6, I just slide one of the straps off my shoulders (keeping the other strap on my shoulder) and swing the bag towards the front and unzip the side compartment and pull out my camera.

I currently use my ThinkTank to store all my camera gear in one place. This includes two (2) small Nikon DSLRs, several lens, a regular size flash, a compact flash, light sphere, etc. If I needed to carry two DSLRs with me, this ThinkTank would work fine for me.

For everyday use, I take my Evolution 6 with me.

Summary:

As I mentioned before, the bag can be "gutted out" with the velcro pieces removed and then put back in to customize and suit your needs.

I purchased this backpack in July 2010 from my local camera shop

This is my go-to camera backpack. I use it for local travel as well as vacation.

On the airplane, this bag fits nicely under the seat in front

Simple design and functional for my use

Easy access to the camera area...perfect for my Nikon D40 or my D5000.

I use the Crumpler Industry Disgrace padded strap with my Nikon D5000 and found that the camera and strap fits snug in the side camera compartment. This is the result of how I have arranged the padded velcro sections within the bag.

Comfortable backpack even after wearing for a few hours...no strain

The brown/tan version looks very casual while the black version looks professional. I was torn between the two available colors. I really liked the brown/tan color combination. I ended up with the black one for practical reasons.

I liked this backpack so much, that I also purchased the Evolution 8 which is slightly larger and has a laptop compartment. For larger DSLRs, I would recommend getting the Evolution 8.

** Update 06/17/11 **

I now have a Nikon D7000 body. With the attached 18-200mm lens, this fits in my Evolution 6 bag without a problem. That also includes having my Crumpler Industry Disgrace strap attached as well. This is still my favorite backpack camera bag.

** Update 04/21/12 **

This is still my "go to" bag. Besides my D7k and 18-200mm lens, it now houses my SB-600 flash, two fixed prime lenses, corded remote control, and two extra batteries.

I've taken this bag on two different cruises and several airplane trips. It has traveled well and still looks like new.

Best Deals for Tamrac 5786 Evolution 6 Photo Sling Backpack Bag (Black)

While this bag is well built, and has a lot of good features take note when reviewing this particular model: The video for this product extols the virtues of the next model up (Evolution 8), which includes a zippered area on the back for flat items (eg laptop, etc). I was honestly expecting a similar feature on the Evo 6 for reasonably sized / smaller items (eg pads/paper, tablet computer, etc), but the Evo 6 does not have this feature. While it's a respectable product with really nice features, I returned it for the newer Tamrac Rally 5, which has a section specifically for flat items in the back.

Honest reviews on Tamrac 5786 Evolution 6 Photo Sling Backpack Bag (Black)

I have a National Geographic camera bag that I really like...but I have developed a back problem, and will not let it keep me from the field...This is a great bag...well made, and balances the load quite nicely ...and holds just about all that I will be carrying when I take to the fields for some photographing..

This particular bag holds my Nikon D90, my 105mm macro lens, 18-135mm lens, 70-300mm lens, binoculars, Sony video camera, all my media cards, 5 different filters, a pair of gloves a small flashlight, lens cleaning pen,spare batteries,lens caps, bottle of hand sanitizer and more that I have forgotten... It is comfortable on my back. I would recommend this to anyone that would be looking for a well made/sturdy camera bag with plenty of padding. I love the color of this one...not the usual black bag. (Great dark brown and khaki color)...plenty of pockets inside(mesh) and outside with zippers.

I bought this bag for my vacation to Costa Rica. I have a Nikon D7000 and a couple lenses including a 70-300mm Nikkor telephoto. If you load the bag for side access to the camera, it fits with 70-300mm lens attached with a little room to spare. The lens hood needs to be stowed however--no big deal. I took several long hikes on the trip and the bag was very comfortable in backpack configuration. The straps have adequate padding. I am so glad I didn't get a bag that was purely a sling bag. Hiking around, I never felt like the bag was going to slide off. The ability to access your gear from 3 sides is a huge bonus for this bag. You can easily swing it to either side to access items. I haven't tried this, but it appears you can remove all the velcro dividers including those separating the top and bottom compartments. So if you did have a camera with a long telephoto/large aperture lens, it may fit if loaded from the top of the bag. There are many good video reviews explaining the flexibility of this bag, I just wanted to point out some features that I noticed.

I compared this bag to the Tenba Shootout Medium Sling Bag. Here are some of my observations

1) The Tamrac bag is bigger in width by 1.5" which allows it to fit my camera with the 70-300mm. I tried the Tenba and it was not large enough.

2) The Tamrac doesn't have waterproof zippers like the Tenba, but the zippers are neatly covered by material which may help seal them against precipitation.

3) When you swing the Tamrac bag to your side, it is very easy to open the compartment and get your camera out. The compartment has only 1 zipper which can be operated easily with one hand in case you want your other hand to help hold the bag. The sling/backpack straps attach to the bottom of the bag and do not interfere with opening the side compartment. The Tenba bag has 2 zippers and a bulky sling strap is right in the way as you try to unzip the compartment.

I'm really liking this bag. It help up well to 9 days of hiking and travel, on/off buses and airplanes. I didn't have the opportunity to use the raincover yet. I encountered some rain but material seemed to resist light drizzle/rain pretty well. If I was going to be in rain for a long period, I would definitely use the rain cover. The tripod pocket seems a little too small and in general this bag is too small to strap a tripod to. You can fit only one leg of the tripod in the pocket and even the most compact tripods will likely be several inches taller than this bag which is only 16.5" tall. I would recommend carrying your tripod on a separate case swung over the shoulder
