I like this bag a lot and it has become my everyday camera bag. It is well constructed, light weight, strong material and quality zippers, spacious, and in particular the hammock design in the main compartment keeps the camera suspended, providing extra protection if bag is dropped. The bottom itself is thick for additional protection and is very stable. The strap is long so I can wear it either on my shoulder or across my body comfortably. My other bag which is a back-pack design I now primarily use for times that require long hikes. Comparing the two design, I feel this Caselogic bag offers easier access. Whereas the back-pack provides better weight-distribution when carried on both shoulders.

My only caution for interested buyers is to be careful when selecting between the Case Logic SLRC 202 and 203 for proper size. The latter, which is the content of this review, is in my opinion much more spacious after trying both on for size. I actually ordered the 202 (medium) bag first and found the main compartment interior a little snug for my D90 with kit lens and after-market thick strap, while the side pockets too tight for mid or larger sized lenses. For reference, I have a Tokina 11-16 ultrawide and it does NOT fit in the side pockets when the camera is also housed in the main (on the 202). On the other hand, the 203 side pockets are deep & wide and the zippers go all the way down front to back (NoDrop tm), giving great access. The larger bag looks barely bigger than the medium one and yet it still weighs nothing. When loaded with the camera, a flash and 3 lenses, it feels supremely capable for the job. I have not done any measuring, but I doubt a nikon or canon 70-200 2.8 will fit in the side pockets or the main when connected to the body. Finally 203 can carry a tripod.

A strong yet light bag. Highly recommend.

--------------

It's now Oct 2010 the bag is in great condition like new. I use it all the time and now occasionally attach a tripod/monopod to it. Solid bag.

This bag, the SLRC-203 is well built. Good quality and all. Having owned a previous Caselogic case, the SLRC2, I chose this case because it seemed similar. I was very happy with the old case, but I upgraded from a small Nikon D40x to a larger Canon 7D.

This case fits the larger camera just fine with a large lens on the body and two lenses on either side in the pockets. Space is not really an issue.

The disappointing areas of the SLRC-203 are these (esp. compared to the SLRC2):

1. The side lens pockets have one zipper slider each that runs all the way up and over the case. This allows the pockets to open wide for big lenses, but it means that you have to almost completely unzip it to remove a lens. Compare this to the zipper on the Caselogic SLRC2 or SLRC-202 which is around the top. It is possible to leave the zipper unzipped on the SLRC2 and SLRC-202 and not have to worry about the lens falling out. With this case, unless the zipper is completely zipped down, you run a little risk of losing the lens. Also, if you store a tripod on the front (which is what the front flap is designed for) then the tripod will block your access to the lens pouch zippers... another annoying design flaw. Two zipper sliders per zipper would have been much nicer.

2. The top handle is attached to the top flap, so unless you have the zipper completely zipped you cannot/should not carry the case by the top handle. The SLRC2 case in comparison has two split handles on the top which can be grasped together regardless of whether the top flap is zipped. This comes in handy when you need to frequently access the contents of bag and are moving it around alot. With the SLRC-203, if the top is unzipped and you hold it by the handle, the flap will open and you could lose some stuff.

Those are the two worst parts of an otherwise great bag. Unfortunately, the SLRC2 (my old case) is too small for my Canon 7D and lenses, but there are design features I like more about that case as compared to this item, the SLRC-203.

I bought this case because of the stat sheet and reviews which said it could hold 4 lenses. In fact it will hold four lenses so long as they are the contact variety. This is called the "large" size case as contrasted with the medium one from the same manufacturer. Yes, it's "large" if you use the same ruler that Jenny Craig does when she measures the portions in her frozen dinners. In fact, it's about the size of an oversized lunch pail. All that said, this is a good product for what it is; a safe and protective slr camera case. Good cameras no longer come with hard shell cases as they did in days past and if you're looking to make up for that deficiency, this is a good product for you. Rather than using old time leather as a shock absorber, this new tech case uses a cutout hammock assembly (think, tightee-whitee) that nicely safeguards a camera with an attached lens from dents and damage. I use a canon 20d and this case securely holds it along with an attached 10-22 wide angle lens. I wouldn't recommend using it with any longer lens attached as it will scrape the bottom of the bag and defeat the whole design architecture. At most, you can fit one other lens in a side pocket, but I don't feel comfortable muffin topping an expensive lens into a lightly padded pocket which can only be closed by straining the zipper like calvin klein's jeans. Still, I'm keeping the case as I'll use it, no doubt. It's great for daytrips where you know what you'll be using your camera for and can plan ahead. If you're looking for an actual gear case or portable studio buy a slingshot 302.

Honest reviews on Case Logic SLRC-203 Large SLR Camera Bag (Black)

I second pretty much everything the previous reviewer said and, indeed, bought this larger of two bags on his advice. I'm glad I did. Let me add a few numbers. It holds (in the sling) my Nikon D90 which is 5" wide, 4"high, and 2" deep with a 3" diam., 5" long lens attached. Since this lens is a 18-270 I don't carry other lenses so can't comment on space for them. There is space in various compartments for the charger and 2 extra batteries, 5 or 6 77mm filters and a lens hood, carrying strap, a SB400 flash, extra SD cards, and (just in case) a Nikon Coolpix P50. I tried for the kitchen sink but it would not quite fit.

The case itself appears to be quite sturdy but also very light in weight. The hard molded base is quite nice as it keeps the bag upright at all times and would be wonderful if you had to set it down in a mud puddle (up to 1" deep only).

A really well designed unit though, it is, as you no doubt already noticed, a tad expensive. In this case, I think it is well worth the price!

Read my review of the little brother to this bag, the SLRC-202. This bag has all the good properties of its little brother, plus a little more in the central compartment that allows me to store my SB-800 flash.

The one thing that I find disappointing about this bag is the side pockets. They taper down toward the bottom so that they have a narrow base. I think this was done to maintain the overall top-wide narrow bottom shape. But aesthetics should not win out over function. The base of the side pockets is narrow enough so that lenses do not fit well in them. They fit they just don't fit well. The generous space at the top of the side pockets should have been maintained all the way to the bottom. That would make this a perfect bag. Caselogic, are you listening?

Buy MECO Blue Vintage Canvas Camera DSLR Shoulder Messenger Bag Case

Customer Ratings:

I love this bag. It arrived in the mail today, and I delighted with it.

The quality of this bag surprised me. The body is made of blue canvas that does not stretch and is acceptably thick. The strap is woven canvas and all the accents are in brown leather (though probably fake leather). The flap that closes the bag has both buckles and hidden snaps, so though the buckles are real, you don't have to undo them every time you open the bag. A zip-top under the flap ensures that your camera does not fall out of the bag. There are two open-top pockets on the front of the bag, a small one one each side that both snap closed, and a large open pocket inside the back panel of the bag.

The camera-bag insert actually comes out, so it could be transferred to another bag easily. I may occasionally take my camera supplies out of the bag and use it as a bookbag for college. The insert has room for a decent-sized DSLR body and two lenses. There is one divider that is secured in place with velcro. The entire insert is padded with thick foam and has a velvety covering; it's deep brown.

Though bright blue and very chic, nothing about this bag even hints that it is holding expensive camera supplies. A great blend of fashion and functionality, I would reccomend this bag to anyone---although it's so great, I am tempted to keep its origin all to myself!

Shipping was much faster than anticipated. The bag arrived a week before the estimated delivery.

Reviews of Nikon Fabric Carry Case for Nikon Coolpix P80 and L100

I bought this bag for my FANTASTIC new Nikon P80. Well, the camera fits in the bag, but there's no space for my extra battery, or for the lens cleaning pen (which I also bought).

However: this is the worst purchase I've made all year.

Why? The bag is poorly made. You could buy almost any other bag, and it would be better quality than this.

-The quality of the fabric is nothing like the fabric used in Lowepro bags (for instance).

-The padding is so thin to be almost non-existent.

-The bag looks cheap.

-The top doesn't fit the rest of the bag properly, so if it rains, your camera will get soaked.

-No strap.

-This bag is much more expensive than anything similar on the market.

I bought a little Lowepro bag for much less than the price I paid for this bag, and am using that instead. I suggest you do the same.

Perfect fit for my coolpix L110. I wish it had a strap. There are slots for the straps on the camera so you can use the camera strap while the camera is in the case. But when you are using the camera the case is strapless and in the way.

The camera fits the Favbric case perfectly, I certainly did not want a case that I needed to hang around my neck, just a pouch that could fit in my backpack. This case fit my needs perfectly. Also has enough room for a SD card, a USB drive, an AV cable and 4 AA batteries.

All in all, a great buy.

Honest reviews on Nikon Fabric Carry Case for Nikon Coolpix P80 and L100

I thought I'd get the fabric case for my newly-purchased Nikon Coolpix camera and that was a mistake. Fortunately not too costly. What I hadn't realized was that case didn't have a strap for over-the-shoulder use, nor is it large enough to carry accessories. A bit of a waste of time really as it's totally impractical. I'd advise getting a "proper" camera bag.

I was going on a trip and didn't want to lug my big ol' back pack with my 300 mm zoom lens and have all of that weight, plus my laptop and check-in luggage as I did when I flew down to Costa Rica last year. What a pain that was, especially when having to go thru customs and waiting around endless hours for connecting flights.

But I needed a bag that was easy to keep with me and still hold my Canon DSLR AND a 28-75 mm zoom, (f2.8), and a couple of accessories. This bag fit the bill. Granted, if you are going to take a lot of equipmentthis is not what you want. This bag is well padded for those moments when it might slip out of your hands and drop to the ground while you're trying to find your boarding pass. But for a DSLR and a decent lens to take with you for everyday pics it is just big enough, comfortable to handle and not at all cumbersome. I think it is well made. I read tons of reviews prior to making this selection... I made the right choice!

[Note: The powers that be are lumping all of the Vanguard BIIN series camera bag reviews together. This review is for the BIIN 10, which is much smaller than the BIIN 21.]

This is a small to medium-sized camera bag. It will barely fit my Canon Rebel XS, but only with the standard 18-55mm lens. [There is no way it will accommodate my 28-135mm lens.] However, with a more compact camera, like my Canon PowerShot S3IS, there is plenty of room.

The inside of the bag measures 4 1/2 x 3 1/2 x 5 (l x w x h). It features a zippered mesh pocket in the lid (for batteries and memory cards), a front pouch suitable for storing a lens cap, and a buckled front and zippered top opening. It also comes with an adjustable shoulder strap.

As a long-time yearbook adviser, I have more than two dozen cameras in my arsenal at school. Unfortunately, my students don't always treat my cameras as carefully as they should. This handy camera bag helps reassure me that cameras will get returned in the same condition that I checked them out.

I purchased three of these bags; so far, they have performed very well. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Discount Think Tank Airport Commuter Backpack for Pro DSLR System, 4-6 Lenses

Customer Ratings:

The Airport Commuter is my second camera bag from Thinktank. While there are many styles of camera bags, including backpacks, Thinktank is particularly adept at identifying the needs of urban (and suburban) photographers, at home or on the road. The design and workmanship is of the highest order heavy fabric, self-healing, water-resistant zippers and efficient use of space. Camera backpacks are usually designed for active sports like hiking and climbing, with weight concentrated low, shape-molding construction and a complicated harnesses. Thinktank caters to travelers, with a rectangular design, a well-defined shape, stiff outer construction and three handles. It fits in an overhead compartment. The harness is fairly simple, but effective. Best of all, the harness can be tucked out of the way until you need it. You can carry it by one strap for convenience, or two for serious schlepping. In either case, the weight is borne by your hips, not shoulder, and it stays put better than any shoulder bag. This configuration is perfect for use in public transportation. In practice, all your gear is in one layer, not stacked up as in a shoulder bag. If you are uncomfortable with a shoulder bag exceeding 15 pounds, you can carry 35 pounds in a backpack. That's easily reached with a pro DSLR, three or four big lenses and accessories. I bought the Airport Commuter for an Hasselblad kit with 8 lenses (no zooms).

There's room for a 15" laptop, but I find it better to carry a slim computer bag, with accessories, as my "personal" carry-on. I've never yet needed a laptop in the field, and extra memory cards are a lot lighter than a computer.

I was looking for a new back pack to carry my camera equipment for a recent trip to London, UK. I did a bunch of research and found the Think Tank series to be reviewed favorably. I wanted something that I could carry my camera equipment on the plane. I eventually chose the Commuter size and I carried two mid size DSLR's, 70-200 f2.8, 10-22mm, 17-55 f2.8, 600EX flash, iPad, various batteries, flash cards, chargers, card readers, etc. very comfortably. The back pack adjusted very comfortably to my back and aside from the weight of the equipment it carried very comfortably. It is very well built and should last me for the rest of my life. However, it is not something you would want to carry on a day long trek with that much weight unless you are in really good shape. It was the perfect choice for me to carry the amount of equipment I wanted to take to London. I think my next purchase will be the Essentials which is the next smaller size. For me, this would be more practical from a weight perspective and I could carry all day with a little less equipment. I can't imagine there is a better designed, more well buil back pack out there made for photography equipment for traveling on airlines.

While I like the amount of storage for this back pack, I can't imagine carrying all this weight around an airport. I ended up returning it and getting the Think Tank Shape Shifter instead. It's an ok compromise. With this much capacity, it's probably best to opt for a roller board bag instead.

I have been looking for a good (semi-small) messenger bag to carry my DSLR as well as my Macbook 13". I found a very nice one from another brand, but it was too small and was more for a netbook or iPad. Searching let me to a great deal (half off I believe) on this bag. It looked like a good deal and the pictures were helpful so I bit.

Upon receiving it, it was somewhat well-made. The zippers were a little too easy to zip and gave the feeling of "cheap" or as if they would be the first thing to fail. The top access zipper was pretty flimsy. The material the bag is made from is pretty cheap. It is nice, and would work well for most, but it seemed like it was pretty thin.

The padding was adequate. The configuration inside of the bag is not extremely versatile. I was trying to get my backup (travel) body, a Nikon d5100 and a 35mm lens and 18-200mm in the bag without much wiggle room and it was tough. I REALLY hate traveling with lenses attached (R.I.P. my first d5100), but there really isn't a good way for that to be done, from what I could figure out. It wasn't really a deal breaker, but I didn't feel as safe as I do with my Lowepro Fastpack 250. The Velcro dividers only attach to one half of the main compartment, so even if you had more dividers, you can't stick them to anything.

The compartment on the bottom is almost a joke. I have a very small monopod and it wouldnt fit. I wasnt sure what to put in there until I was going to a hockey game... then I realized that about 7 beers fit perfectly... :D This compartment could have really been left out. Its a waste of space most of the time... unless you are going to a place that charges $7 for a beer.

The ultimate deal-breaker was the strap. Oh, how the skimped on the strap. The strap material itself is fine, but the shoulder pad is just awful. It is a foam pad covered in a mesh material. Nice for breath-ability, but horrid for staying on your shoulder. I found that it slipped off at-will which was the deal-breaker. I have had several laptop bags over the years that had some sort of rubberized pad that stuck without any problem. I think the best solution would have been to add metal connectors to the side of the bag to allow "aftermarket" or better straps to be clipped on instead of sewing them on to save a couple cents per bag. That might have kept this bag in my arsenal. I could have easily transplanted an old strap.

Pros: Holds 13" Macbook, DSLR, doesnt look like a camera bag, decent padding.

Cons: Arranging a camera without the lens attached is a bit of a challenge. materials seem cheap (zippers, mesh), wish they would have included more Velcro dividers and made the entire interior Velcro.

Final thoughts: its a good bag if you get it on sale. Maybe if you have a shoe repair shop you can get a different strap put on cheap. I just with they had made it more rugged. Other than that, I continue my search...

Anyone traveling with a DSLR and the accessories involved this is a great bag. Frequent travelers that want a bag that's not only durable but stylish and that holds everything from camera, tripod, laptop and you name it will love this bag.

This bag, while slightly larger than a typical messenger bag does not reveal itself as a camera bag to the casual observer, which is a good thing. Whenever I see someone carrying around a black square bag with Canon or Nikon printed on the side I see a giant advertisement to thieves saying "Tourist with Expensive Camera Equipment Here!"

Pockets Galore! This bag has pockets everywhere. On the rear exterior there is a large flat zippered pocket which is great for carrying travel documents, a small book or anything you need to grab quickly on the go. The main compartment is covered by a large flap that you can buckle shut and has Velcro closures for extra security. The large buckle is a little awkward to close on the fly but isn't a big issue. The flap also folds over the side of the bag giving it a tight seal preventing things from falling out and keeping unwanted hands out of the bag on the street. The main storage area features movable dividers that allow you to store a DSLR and a lenses. I was able to fit my Canon T2i with it's standard 18-55mm lens and a 55-250mm lens comfortably and have room for my G11 next to it with room left over on the interior for other items. The interior space also includes a padded space for a notebook. The pocket will fit most notebook computers but if you're loaded with camera equipment it will be a little snug, you're better off with a thinner laptop or iPad/tablet PC.

The front of the bag includes two zippered area which are also covered/protected by the large exterior flap. One large zippered area reveals pockets for business cards, pens and misc storage of small items. This area resembles the typical storage area of a laptop bag.

On the bottom front of the bag there is a second zippered area for storage of a tripod. Let me note, this zippered compartment takes away space from the main storage area of the bag. I was annoyed at this at first but decided I really like the feature. I don't usually carry a tripod with me so I decided this was a great place to stash cables, chargers, and other miscellaneous items that usually clutter the bottom of my camera bag. It allows you to keep things neat and compartmentalized and organized.

I rated this bag an overall 5 stars despite the couple minor flaws I mentioned but feel this a versatile, well built bag that will serve its purpose well.

The bag is very thoughfully designed and looks smart. I will list the pros and cons for your own evaluation:

Pros:

1. Handsome design with high quality materials.

2. Ease of access to camera by using the zipper on top of the bag without having to open the cover.

3. The latch and 2 velco at the 2 corners secure the cover to the bag very well.

4. Storage compartment at the bottom of the bag is very useful to store all kinds of accessories like cables, batteries, filters, flash, etc...

5. There is a slim poket at the back of the bag that is useful for quick access to travel document during trip.

6. There is also an organizer pocket at the front of the bag, under the cover, to store cell phones, pens, etc...

7. There is a padded slim compartment inside the bag for ultrabook or touchpad which can also be accessed without opening the cover.

8. Wide comfortable padded shoulder strap.

Cons:

1. There is no way to put a lock to protect your cameras, lens, or laptop during a trip.

2. Although the selling point is you have the option to partition the interior to fit your camera and lenses, only 1/3 of the interior space have the velcro patches to hold the 2 pieces of partition provided. The other 2/3 of the interior space is finished with smooth nylon so there is no way to partition even if you have some extra partitions from other bags.

3. The biggest flaw of the design is this is a considerably compact bag with the space to carry 2 dslr with zoom lens fully atached facing down for easy access, and still have space for 2 smaller lenses but there is no velcro to hold the extra partitions in place.

4. The width of the bag is a little tight for dslr with battery grip. Although my Canon 60D with battery grip fits in fine.

5. Zipper at the bottom compartment is right at the edge of the bag, it would be better to have the zipper higher so the compartment is better protected from moisture.

6. Zipper on top of the bag is not well concealed for better appearance and protection.

However, I haven't found a better designed bag that is both compact and spacious so I will keep it and get velcro partitions added for custom partition.

Appreciate if anyone can let me know where to buy additional velcro partitions.

Honest reviews on Manfrotto MB SM390-5BB UNICA V Messenger Bag -Black

I liked the design and functionality of this bag but some with downsides. It is not waterproof and doesn't come with a waterproof cover. It would be a nice addition if it'd come with a waterproof cover. The inside of the bag has Velcro only on one half of the bag. You have two partitioning cushions and that's it. For this large of a bag, I think that there should be really at least one more partition. It just feel impractical to dump stuff in one compartment.

Ideally this is for large DSLR cameras and a lot of additional stuff except lenses. But if you want to carry additional lenses, you have to have lens cases and that beats the purpose of the bag. I absolutely hate the biiiggg clip which is the most impractical thing on this bag. I returned this and bought a Unica i at a store which works well for my dlsr and one extra lens and small stuff.

I purchased it for use strictly as a briefcase. This is a beautiful white bag, with excellent compartments and a portable office. When open, the front flap can unzip and fold down, revealing the portable office, stocked as you like.

The internal sections of the (camera) bag are well padded and divided with removable partitions. The bottom of the bag also has a zipper, with an excellent space for carrying power cords and utility items.

The shoulder strap is padded nicely and also looks good, with the pad cover in white and the strap itself is black.

This is a large bag, but manageable nevertheless. I carry two, sometimes three laptops and it works for that without being too cumbersome or uncomfortable on the shoulder.

Looks good, works great and is worth the price.

The only slight drawback is that the buckle clangs when you open the flap of the briefcase and it hits and hard surface. Office, table, desk, counter it clangs. Still, I like the bag very much.

I originally ordered this bag thinking it would work for every day use. I was surprised at how big it was when it arrived. After packing my camera, extra lens, battery charger, etc., I discovered that I had tons of extra space. I ordered the medium bag for every day use and am keeping the large one for travel. I've discovered that I can pack my camera, extra lens, battery charger, etc. PLUS my glasses, wallet and Kindle in this bag keeping all my essentials close at hand. I have been searching for the perfect travel bag for years and it appears that I have now found it in this camera bag. The slit pockets in the side are perfect for memory cards, cable, battery charger, etc. so everything is organized and the big stuff is readily accessible. I highly recommend this bag and the medium size. If you are looking for every day use and do not carry a lot of extra stuff with you, I would go with the medium size. This will be too big.

I love this thing! It's exactly what I wanted so I can carry my dSLR (Canon 50D) with me all the time and not need a separate purse. I molded the dividers so they hold the camera with my 28-135 lens attached, plus an extra lens, my point and shoot Canon, wallet, phone , eReader, iPod, waterproof pouch with things like pens, hand sanitizer, etc. I could also fit an extra battery, cable, and cardreader if I wanted to. It really is one bag that holds everything I need. Surprisingly, it still zips closed with all of that cargo.

It's padded enough to absorb minor bumps--better than just carrying the camera around my neck. It's easy to get the camera in and out when I want to get a shot.

I love that it's inconspicuous and doesn't even whisper "fancy camera on board." I feel like I can carry it anywhere and not draw a lot of attention. It's surprisingly comfortable even with the weight of the camera and lenses.

I'm also pleased that it's washable. I'll probably buy a second one in another color so I have one to use while the other is drying.

I have a 28-300mm lens on my Canon 7D and oftentimes, that's the only lens I use for numerous daytime shoots. While I love my backpack and a smaller case that I use from time to time, this bag is an absolute joy to use. The easy access, and the absence of zippers, makes this case a real accessory and not an encumbrance. Love the bag, love the color, love the convenience! The movable inside compartments allow me to throw in my wallet and cell without having to worry about my camera.

Honest reviews on Built Cargo Large MicroDot Camera Bag

I just received my built camera bag and it is exactly what I was looking for! The velcro separators give you lots of options inside and the bag is larger than I expected, has tons of storage space. Highly recommended! Great quality--as all Built products I've had are.

I bought this camera case when my first one was too small to hold everything I wanted it too. This camera case fits my camera, three lenses, a external flash, and still has room for my large wallet. It saves me from carrying my purse and camera case on shoots.

The only thing to be aware of, is that the inside has dividers that you can move around to accommodate your equipment. These dividers are stiff, hard to shape into perfect sizes. however, after a little creativity, everything works great. I am still very happy with the camera bag. plus, the black raspberry color is nice and subtle, and it doesn't scream "CAMERA CASE!"

Nice appearance, good bag. Bag from Canon is more expensive

This bag is a very good fit for an Olympus 3040 digital camera set including the 1.4x teleextender and the 0.8 xwide conversion lenses. It fits well the FL-40 falsh with the necessary bracket and extra batteries, cleaning kit and the Olympus smart media card holder.

Reviews of Crumpler THE SINKING BARGE Laptop Camera Backpack (Dark

Customer Ratings:

I bought this bag since I was traveling with a camera and laptop for a few months and wanted a non-dork looking bag. The bag looks good, but I found it lacking in everything else.

Here's the gear I was looking to carry:

-Apple MacBook Pro 15"

-Nikon D40

-Nikkor 18-55mm

-Nikkor 55-200mm

There are 3 zippered compartments: Let's say the one closest to your back when you're wearing it is Main, the middle one that holds your camera gear is the Middle, and farthest pocket is Mini.

The Main compartment has an area for your laptop and an area for some magazines/docs, both covered by a velcro flap. The rest of the room can be used for random crap, but the more you put in, the harder it is to open the velcro flap to get your laptop out.

The Middle compartment has a removable bucket to hold your camera gear. It also has a couple of netted pockets for random cables and cards. All of my gear fit in this area, but when the camera is in there...

The Mini pocket becomes completely stretched and unusable. You can't even put a pen in there. Anything stiff in there would bend as it's being pushed out by the Middle pocket.

All of the outside zippers are thick and feel secure, and are have fabric folded over them so they're hidden. This is great in crowds: I was traveling around crowded parts of Asia and never felt afraid that I wouldn't feel someone unzipping one of the pockets to steal something. But it sucks for daily use. There is just no way to open the bag fast, you have to take it off and fiddle with the zippers. I know it's a tradeoff, but make sure you understand that tradeoff before getting it.

For daily use with a laptop and no camera, the bag never felt bulky, but it did feel like overkill. For daily use with a camera and no laptop, it felt too big to be carrying around for a day trip.

The only times I liked using the bag were when I was packing to get on planes since it held all of my electronics. But once I landed, I had little use for the bag.

One last annoying thing to keep in mind if you're traveling a lot: There's no convenient place to hold travel docs and a cellphone that you need to access frequently, say at the airport and through security. It would have been nice to have an extra zippered pocket on the side to easily slide things into.

I ended up selling the bag after a few months. Let me know if you'd like to write anything else about the bag in the comments.

I recently purchased this as a gift with the D300 and battery grip. Carrying all that camera weight was always an issue for taking out the camera for long trips. We tried it out at the Botanical Gardens and I ended up carrying it. It had the D300 with battery grip, 1 medium lens, 2 large lenses and the SB800. WOW what a relief on my shoulders! I used to carry the Tamarac Velocity 9 and I would always cramp up! This was a relief! After four hours of carry time....no pain at all. It's also easy to manage, its a good bag...also has plenty of pouches to store lens filters, card readers, cards, and cords.

This is my second Crumpler bag and the quality is everything I expected. My only complaint is the space. From reading other reviews, I thought I would have enough room in this bag for my Canon 40D w/24-105 mounted plus another lens and flash. It barely fits. Don't expect to get anything more into the photo compartment.

Honest reviews on Crumpler THE SINKING BARGE Laptop Camera Backpack (Dark

I got this not too long ago and am amazed at how much I've been able to cram into it. I can easily stow my 15 inch MacBook Pro and 8 inch Eee PC into the Laptop portion with enough space left over for maps or other small books. The camera compartment easily fits my small DSLR and 2 lenses and has a little pocket for memory cards and other accessories. Everything fit snugly, but I wasn't lacking for space. If that isn't enough, there's a smaller compartment on the outside that could store whatever other odds and ends you've got on you.

The Sinking Barge also has very comfortable shoulder straps and padding on the inner portion. Although the bag is a bit heavy on its own, the weight is distributed nicely so you can carry it fully stocked for a few hours without feeling too worn out. I'd read in a review on another website that it is quite big for a backpack, but I didn't find this to be the case. I'm fairly short, but the Barge fits me better than most bags and doesn't hang in such a way as to strain my back. The bag is made out of a pretty durable nylon that should withstand a fair amount of wear and tear.

Although the Barge is a bit pricey for a backpack (although I got mine for ~$30 less than the current price on Amazon), it is definitely worth it for the durability, utility and comfort that it affords.
