This case is perfect for the panasonic lumix, however, I wish that i had gotten a color other than white. It gets dirty rather easily and it's beginning to look very worn. Other than that, great compact case.

It is well made and fits the Panasonic FX01 like a glove. However, because of the flat finish, it tends to get dirty easily.

I spent a long time looking for a camera bag before settling on the Zuma 7. There are very few quick access backpacks on the market, and this one is as good as it gets... Quick access to your camera and maybe 1-2 lenses or a flash as well on the other side. Overall, ample room for 2-3 lenses, flash, iPad, batteries, cards, and a little extra energy bar, keys, and so forth making this the perfect bag for a day in the field. Very comfortable to carry.

Whenever I travel, I seem to always end up carrying the OEM Canon camera bag that came in the kit I bought from Costco and my laptop backpack. Since getting a New iPad this year, I no longer carry around a laptop and all the extras that go with those. While I still like using the backpack as my carry-everything-and-the-kitchen-sink bag, I hesitate moving anything into it from my camera bag, as it's just not that convenient to use for camera work other than a carrying case. Thus I decided to use the camera as the primary focus (pun intended) for my next "backpack". I found this little guy and was quite pleased with the convenient flexibility of changing where the camera loads in the bag for ease of access (left, right, center). Plus, it swallowed up all my accessories, cables, and then some, in addition to easily taking my iPad (plus its fat silicone and plastic shell case made by Griffin) into its gaping maw. Maybe that's an over-exaggeration, but in the same physical space as the OEM Canon bag, my iPad, camera, lenses, flash, cables, hoods, etc. all fit nice and neat. Plus, the total weight doesn't feel as drag-me-down-around-the-neck any more, so that's also a bonus.

My only knock on this bag is the price. The Case Logic bag that compares to this one is about $50 cheaper, and looks about as well-made as this one. Only features the Case Logic doesn't have are the camera positions the bag can accommodate, but they make up for that with the one central pocket/camera suspension design. That looks really nice, but I like being able to slide the camera in and out from the sides, for quick access; only have to drop one shoulder strap to grab the camera, as opposed to removing the entire bag for the Case Logic pocket.

Honest reviews on Tamrac 5727 Zuma 7 Photo/iPad Triple Access Backpack - Black

I use this to carry my A77 and NEX-5 cameras. I do this so I can have a variety of focal lengths available using high quality glass. I can switch between them quickly once I got the knack of sliding the pack under my arm. It can carry a variety of additional stuff and can strap a small tripod on the bottom. This pack replaces carrying a shoulder bag.

There is plenty of room for my canon 5d3 and a good walk around lens plus little compartments for memory cards, batteries, etc. It is not quite big enough to hold the camera with a 70-200 mounted as some of the chest packs claim. The straps work well and it is comfortable to wear. I use it a lot and would recommend it to others.

This thing is very heavy duty and fits a lot of GoPro gear. I have a ton of mounts, pivots, and cases. They all fit nicely. Everything I need frequently is right there on the top layer of foam for quick access. It can pressurize for travel too. I tried pricing out putting something like this together with a Pelican case and cutting the foam. However, this product is competitively priced and saved me all that work.

This is a great case. The top portion holds up to 3 GoPro's or GoPro cases. The pockets for the backpacks are a good size to hold it in without the items falling out.

My only complaint is that the space under the top layer is relatively shallow. I wish it was deeper underneath for all my other accessories, as it the top layer bulges a bit because I have so many other pieces. I may need to get a separate case for the other mounts that I own.

A solid case with good storage area and layout. Holds cameras/housings and accessories securely in fairly dense foam cut-outs. The clips that hold the unit shut do not appear as robust as some other cases (like SKB's) but once engaged (I am careful to make sure they engage before closing) they seem to hold tightly. I would recommend the item, but look at others before you make a decision.

This is one of the best camera bag. Very strongly built and a comfortable Large backpack. More for folks who have a lot of accessories with your camera. The zipper is in the back of the bag, hence it is tough for it to be Zipper opened without your knowledge. It more looks like a backpack rather than a Camera bag. Less chances of it being robbed. It comfortably takes in a 15" laptop with a good padding as well. It becomes very heavy but surely very confident to take on the weight. Thank god it is not a sling bag kind with one back strap.

As to rooms for improvement,,

1. I wish the main compartment zipper carries a bigger hole so as to slide a lock to it. It will be helpful to lock it when traveling domestic and surely international. I carry $3,500 worth of equipments.

2. I wish it is dimensioned slightly differently so that it fits within the carry-on suitcase horizontally.

3. Wish there was a little better explanation of the 2 straps it provided in how to use it. I think it is there to tie up the tri or mono pods.

I also use the Lowepro 200AW, another very satisfied camera bag. Smaller bag for very limited accessories other than your camera and lenses. A completely different purpose bag. A grab and go bag for your camera.

Please give a thumbs up if you like this quick review. :-)

This backpack is huge! Yes it has all the carrying capabilities you could want and more but at the cost of looking like an astronaut backpack. And I don't like how it opens the part that touches your back is where it opens from. It's very awkward with a laptop in it.

Best Deals for Manfrotto MB SB390-5BC VELOCE V Backpack -Champagne

This backpack holds my camera kit and, in a pinch, an iPad or laptop (up to 15") as well. I keep a D7000, D600, and a bunch of lenses (but not big professional zooms), and a small tripod in it with no issues, and it's comfortable to carry. The zipper to open it is against your back which means you can't easily be robbed, but a snap gives you access to the top compartment quite easily and you can pull out a camera from that compartment in 10s. There's no attached waterproof cover — it's not really for hiking (although I've taken it on hikes).

The one downside of the quick access compartment is that it doesn't easily let you pull out a higher-end DSLR like the D7000 (it's perfect for a D5000, but the D7000 always seems to catch). I currently carry a D7000 and a D600 so the quick access flap is more of a slow access flap. Note that it's not the lens that's the problem — it's the body, so the new Nikon Df would probably be just fine.

Overall, it's the best camera bag of any kind I've ever owned — by far, but I'm a cheapskate. People have stopped me in the street and asked me where I got it. That said, it's probably not as good as the (far more expensive) Cumpler and Thinktank bags.

This backpack is gentle on your camera and harsh on your body. Layers of foam padding places the center of gravity too far out and gives the pack a bloated shape that doesn't conform to your back. I loaded the bag with my camera body, three small lenses, a flash, and an empty water bottle. The bag was unstable and I hadn't even filled the water bottle or tried to add a tripod. No adjustment would prevent the straps from spreading and pulling painfully on the corners of my shoulders. A laptop might fix the balance but I rarely plan to cary one. I could see using this to store equipment on an airplane or taxi but it was no good for walking or hiking. By contrast, a plain Jansport carries all that, plus water, comfortably for hours on my shoulders.

The packing mechanics:

The shoulder straps attach to the opposite side of the zipper compared to a normal backpack. A zipper failure will not dump your cargo.

Your camera body goes in a top pouch to supposedly enable easy access. The easy access flap is held down with a oddly gigantic squeeze clip, velcro, and two zippers. I tried it a few times and found it to be more trouble than opening the backpack.

Three small dividers forming a "+" shape are attached with velcro in the lower left. They can be moved a small amount or taken out.

A divider under the top left access flap is sewn on one side and has velcro on the other two sides, allowing it to be folded down. It doesn't hold much weight when up.

A long divider running down the right side is sewn on two perpendicular sides and has velcro on the third side, which is a bewildering and non-functional configuration. The product picture shows a tripod in there but I can't imagine that happening. It holds a stack of lenses better.

There's a laptop pouch in the side facing your back.

There are unpadded pen holders and pockets inside. They may scratch your equipment if used.

There is a narrow filter holder pouch on each side of the exterior.

Two straps are included to attach a tripod to the far end of the backpack the center column of what looks like the "M". Placing weight this far from your back would bruise your shoulders in short time.

Photo Sport 200 All Weather Camera Pack by Lowepro Review

Lowepro LP36353-PAM Photo Sport 200 AW Backpack
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
I just came back from a 4 day trip to Zion National Park with the Lowepro Photo Sport 200 AW Backpack Black. I own many camera bags including one from Lowepro (Lowepro SlingShot 202 AW) but none of them fit my needs for my camping trip. I wanted a bag that (1) provided a padded easy-access compartment to hold my Canon 7D with 1-2 extra lenses and extra battery/memory card, (2) had extra room for food and extra clothing, (3) was comfortable especially for long hikes, (4) had room for a hydration pouch, and (5) featured rain or water protection. This backpack had all of these!

Camera Compartment:

I thought of using one of my normal backpacks for the trip but I did not want to risk my gear bouncing around inside. I was extremely impressed with the camera compartment. It was padded all around and was separate from the rest of the bag. The compartment also opens from the side which allowed quick access. I did not want to bring my full camera gear on this trip; I just wanted to bring my essential zoom lenses to get scenery and action shorts of my family. It fit my Canon 7D with 17-55mm f/2.8 and 70-300mm f/4-5.6L with hoods attached snugly.

Stuff Compartment:

Above the camera compartment was a large open space to store whatever I needed for the day. This part of the bag opened with a cinch cord on the top and had a small zippered compartment inside. I managed to fit 2 windbreakers, snacks/granola bars, 4 juice boxes, 4 sandwiches, 2 extra water bottles, and extra memory card/battery with some extra room to spare. The top pouch which covers the stuff compartment features a zipper pouch for quick access. I stored a multitool, 3 sunglasses, cellphone, keys, and a flashlight in there with room to spare.

Everything Else:

The compartment for the hydration pack was extremely convenient; I fit my 70oz CamelBak into there which lasted me the whole day. The compartment is also quite large so I can see someone fitting in a small (no bigger than 13") laptop, netbook, or tablet into there. The shoulder straps were comfortable and did not strain me out like normal backpacks. The side waist straps kept the back from bouncing side to side and also had small pouches where I fit a sunblock bottle and my Canon S95. The back padding was adequate and had channels so your back does not get too sweaty. The internal frame kept the bag sturdy and helped with support. The rain cover tucks inconspicuously on the bottom of the pack and was useful when we hiked along a chest high river in the Narrows (if you go to Zion check this trail out). There is a tight front pouch where I managed to store a towel and a pair of sandals and a water bottle pouch on the opposite side of the camera compartment opening which fit my 1 liter aluminum water bottle easily.

Pros:

Lightweight and secure on the body

I am 5'11" and the bag sat well on my shoulders. I went on a 8 hour hike and did not notice the bag at all.

Padded camera compartment

Extra room for other gear/food/misc items

Hydration compartment

Rain cover

Does not look like a typical camera bag!

Cons:

I wish the bag was a bit larger horizontally. I would have loved to bring my Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L II but it did not fit without bulging out the other side.

You have to provide your own or buy a hydration bladder

This backpack served me well for my hiking daytrips; it offered everything I needed in a camera/hiking backpack hybrid. It is NOT a store-all carry-all type of camera bag such as the Photo Trekker series from Lowepro. This bag lets you carry the essentials for a daytrip and a DSLR with 1-2 lenses.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

I got this bag a few weeks ago and have been mountain biking a couple times a week with it since. As always, Lowepro has made another great bag. This is basically a day pack with a camera holder in the side. The new cinch mechanism seems to work pretty well to keep the camera in one spot. I have a Nikon D3100 right at the moment (waiting on my D7000 to get here) and it fits fine with a 55-300mm lens on it with space for another lens or flash. I have no doubt that my new camera will fit just fine with the same lens. I have been able to stick a small, lightweight tripod in the side that has the bottle holder, but I wouldnt recommend doing that to often to the strechy fabric bottle holder. If you were hiking, you could also strap it underneath. Nothing to heavy though. Another plus is that other than the Lowepro label, it does not look like a camera bag.

I will try not to cover stuff in other reviews, but here is a couple of minor things I didnt know before I bought it:

1.The stuff sack at the top actually goes all the way to the bottom of the bag around the camera case. This is great and not great. Great because you can put stuff down there; not great for keeping medium size things in the larger compartment without them sliding to the bottom. This can be fixed by pulling the outside cinch straps tight. If I had a choice, I would leave it the way it is. It turns out that an Adventura 120 bag (maybe even a 140) fits perfectly in the top part of the stuff sack, so I took all my little parts, flash and extra lens and put them in that in the top of the stuff sack of the 200AW. When I go mountain biking, I just take it out and go.

2. A hydration bladder does not come with it. There is a place for one up to 70oz with a nice hole for the hose. I put an old Camelback bladder in and it works fine although the bottom next to the camera case is a little tight. With no bladder, you could also put a small laptop in this section if you needed to.

3. The waist straps do not fold in to anything to hide them when not in use. Once again it is fine with me but I could see them being a minor inconvenience while traveling. The waist straps actually work very well for me. I was able to put most of the weight on me hips which surprised me. The aluminum stiffeners work pretty well.

Aside these minor things it is a great bag for the active person, especially for the price. It isn't made for holding all of your camera equipment. It is however made for taking your camera and some equipment somewhere where the view is great in comfort and style.

Best Deals for Photo Sport 200 All Weather Camera Pack by Lowepro

I felt the need to write a review of what is now my favorite camera bag. I've looked for a very long time for one that met all my requirements, and this one fits the bill. To summarize what I've been looking for:

1. Quick access to camera

2. Backpack-style for hiking/biking

3. Water access

4. Space for other items other than camera

5. Light

6. Waist and sternum straps

* There is a frame to the back panel of the pack separating the water compartment from the padded camera compartment, giving the backpack some vertical shape/structure.

* As previously mentioned by another reviewer, I fit a 70oz. Camelback bladder into the water compartment of the pack without a problem there is some tightness at the bottom of the pack where the padded camera compartment bumps up against, but if you leave room in the water bladder to adjust the shape, it's not a big deal.

* I've found the waist belt to be a very valuable feature. My typical use case: I'm on a mountain bike and see something I want to photograph. I'll get off my bike, take my right shoulder strap off, swing my backpack around my left side while still attached to the waist strap, and quickly pull out camera.

* The camera compartment is nicely-sized for my needs. I shoot with a Canon 5D mk II and have attached the stock 24-105 lens. If I wanted to, inside the padded compartment, I can place a 580EXII in there with no problem. That side compartment has enough give where instead of a flash, I could fit my 70-200 F/2.8 IS II lens in there as well. Admittedly, with the 70-200 in there, the backpack bulges out a little bit, but it fits snugly. I found that with the 5D mk II, I didn't have to cinch up the camera compartment. I could pull the padded cover down, zip up the backpack cover, and not worry about my camera spilling out or anything. I value speed over snugness and whereas I might get a little more snugness out of using the padded compartment's drawstring, I get a lot of speed out of not using it.

* There are compression straps that allow you to attach either a throw or a fleece underneath the pack I found that I could attach a Gitzo Series 1 traveler tripod underneath the pack with very little fuss.

* One mini-gripe the construction doesn't actually feel like a Lowepro bag. For the target market, the fabrics used are very light which is great, and there's double/triple stitching in places that would potentially be break points, but a little more padding around the shoulders might be nice. That said, I don't REALLY have a problem with the straps.

* Found the larger non-camera compartment very useful for carrying snacks, a replacement bike tube, and tools. Also as previously noted, it's great that the compartment reaches all the way down to the bottom of the bag, but could be a little frustrating as well since you'd have to reach your hand down the top and around the padded compartment to reach items that may have fallen down there.

* There's the top cover over the large non-padded compartment that is zippered and that will store things like keys or protein bars.

* Also, as a sense of space, when I'm not taking it outdoors in the wilderness, I pack the water compartment with an iPad 2 which fits very nicely.

The one mini-gripe aside, this is by far my favorite camera bag for hiking and mountain biking. I would give it 4.75 stars if I could, taking it a smidgen down for what I thought could be studier build quality, but it's not a deal-breaker by any means.

Honest reviews on Photo Sport 200 All Weather Camera Pack by Lowepro

I've owned a lot of camera packs, and my quest for the perfect pack is still in process. This one, so far anyhow, has been my favorite. It swallows a lot of gear for it's size. I easily carry my Nikon D300 with a wide angle zoom lens attached, an 18-200mm zoom along side it in the adjacent compartment as well as a fixed 50mm lens. The top section easily holds my two speedlights (one is the large SB900) as well as other gear. Unfortunately, after my first week excursion with it the carry handle between the shoulder straps tore loose causing me to obtain a replacement pack that will shortly be put to the test on two overseas trips in the bush.

I've owned GoLite backpacks, and to me this product appears to have had strong influence from that company. It's comfortable, light, and secure. First impressions? Appears to be a winner for the money for certain.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Photo Sport 200 All Weather Camera Pack by Lowepro

Although I would have liked the size of the pack to be a little larger, it was well within what I expected so I give it a full rating for the sizing. The rest of the pack was also what I expected from Lowepro (very well made and functional, especially the rain cover that is found at the bottom of the pack!). However, I have a big issue with what I feel is a major design flaw: the upper compartment is not sealed from the lower section of the bag so just about anything you put in this compartment will eventually find its way down the side of the bag and to the bottom, below the camera compartment. I had placed a rain jacket/shell in the upper compartment and this quickly went to the bottom of the pack; a pack of gum, extra battery or anything of this size will undoubtedly make its way down. I was hoping to put an extra lens in the upper compartment but this too made its way down and given its weight, ended up at the very bottom where there is absolutely no protection or cushioning. So basically, this upper compartment is almost useless unless you seal it off from the lower section of the pack by using an insert or sewing it shut yourself. The rest of the pack is fine so I will not return the item as I am sure I'll be able to find or make an insert...

Like all Targus products, the Camera Messenger is well made and thickly padded to ensure great protection. This luxurious leather case also offers several handy organizers. The main compartment has a movable/removable center divider to give your gear a custom fit, a spacious front pocket for accessories, and a false bottom pocket that provides an out-of-the-way place to store cables and adapters--a huge convenience in my book. Add to that a comfortable, adjustable shoulder strap and you have a good looking and immanently functional camera case.

This case is simply the best and I am so glad they have continued to make it 3 years after I first purchased it. We added another camera and wanted the same case.

The size is perfect for most every extra you would need. There are 3 compartments one for the camera (and even this has an adjustable partition for lenses and such), another for batteries and charger, and still another for the usb and video cables. And it has two separate straps with which to carry it. Finally, this claims to be a leather case. Whether it is or not is really problematic. It's got a substantial feel and wears extraordinarily well.

All said, this is a terrific case. Just shop around. I got it for $6.99 (plus $8 shipping) and I have seen it as high as $29 plus shipping.

I've really come to love this bag. Everything is sewed well and feels really sturdy. The foam used to cushion the compartments in the bag (there's a moveable divider (attaches with Velcro-style strips) in the main compartment) is sturdy and protects the contents well. There is space enough for a medium sized digital camera, a compact battery charger and batteries, cables, and a few memory cards. This bag also has a weatherproof hood that comes out of a hidden zipper to wrap the whole thing up and protect it from rain--a very cool feature. Anyway, I know it's hard to get too excited about a bag, but this really is a cool one.

As with all Lowepro Cases they are rugged and almost indistructable. Some of the best thought out cases on the market. But in this case why not suggest that shoppers look and the line that Lowepro actually has created for Digital Cameras. They have a series of about a half dozen cases specially designed to be used with digital cameras. The Nova Mini is a great bag but the D-Res-50 is better, having soft insides so that your LCD display will not get scratched from the inside material, they have little velcro deviders to that you can adjust the bag to fit the size of your camera and even little pockets inside that are designed to accomodate digital camera accessories like extra memory cards and extra batteries. They even have a hidden rain jacket to protect your electronic equipment from the Elements. The hard ware on the D-Res cases are made of metal instead of plastic makeing them not just practical but designed to last through the ages. And like all Lowepro cases it carries a lifetime warranty. The D-Res 50 is the middle bag that Lowepro makes for digital cameras they have one that's half the thickness that will work with most digital cameras also and two smaller than that if you really want a compact case for your little digital camera. I don't think that the Nova Mini is a bad bag quite the contrary, it's great and cheaper than the D-Res series but I do feel it lacks some of the greatest parts of the D-Res series and thus why I would rather see you suggesting the D-Res series of bags for digital customer.

Best Deals for Lowepro Nova Mini AW Camera Bag (Navy)

I wanted a bag to carry my camera, a Canon S2, my battery charger, batteries and other equipment and also other things like my wallet and cosmetic items so I decided on this item. The bag is very durable and sturdy. The weather protector looks a bit silly but believe me, it works! I've had it for over 5 months and I'm very happy with it.

Honest reviews on Lowepro Nova Mini AW Camera Bag (Navy)

Having read the review by another user for his Canon XSi, I bought the bag for my Canon XSi. The bag works great for the camera with the kit lens (18-55MM IS) mounted. The camera is stored with the lens facing downward into the bag, and two Velcro adjusted flaps holding the camer body in place. The bag will only work for camera with telephoto lens that's about 3.5 in length and nothing longer.

There's enough space for another accessory on the side, either a flash or another lens, but nothing more. Two configuration will work best:

a. Camera with either kit lens or telephoto lens (55-250) mounted facing down, flash placed vertically tucked under the flap on the side with no camera grip, this scenario is great for studio/indoor shoot.

b. Camera with telephoto lens mounted facing down, and the kit lens tucked behind the flap on the side with no camera grip.

The all weather cover is nice to have, but will take up a lot of space away from the front pocket. The top lid with quick snap on works well to protect the camera. The only complaint I have is that the top lid does not by default open fully, which makes taking the camera out harder while the bag is hanging around your neck. When the bag is set on a flat surface, it's easier to bend the top lid backward and making the entire opening available for camera placement.

Overall, the bag does a fine job for carrying the camera and the basic accessories, which is all most people will ever need. The bag is actually an earlier generation of current nova series products, the new siblings are nova 120/140/160 AW. There's not much difference between the old and new, and the nova mini cost a lot less.

I bought this bag as a gift for a friend who need one badly. I chose this one because of the color and the fact that it has a full zipper enclosure to keep dirt out. This camera bag is just big enough to fit a sony alpha with kit lens AND sony's telephoto lens which is rather compact. to get both of them in there one of the padded inserts has to be removed. the smaller pockets provide enough room for a spare battery, cables, lens cloth and filters.

I have an earlier model of this bag, it is years old, showing no signs of wear. I got a new camera, so of course I looked for a bag like the old one, and this is as close as I could get. This bag is made just as well as my other one, the color is a nice brown that is not overstated. The bag is large enough for a digital SLR, mine is a Nikon P90. It fits with room to spare, and has a divider for the main compartment that adjusts with velcro to keep the camera sitting snug. There are little pouches for memory cards, a place for a charger, it is an all in one place bag great for trips. It has a comfortable shoulder strap that is adjustable. I like this bag, and would recommend it to anyone with a medium size DSLR.

I got this bag for my Nikon FM10 (with 35-70mm zoom lens) which I got for an Intro Photography class. It's just the right size for this camera, plus it has space for at least several rolls of film or extra lenses.

It's also outfitted with slots for memory cards, so digital cameras can find a good home here as well.

It's waterproof, lightproof and padded enough to handle everyday jolts.

There are two padded dividers on the inside that are secured with velcro. They have flaps and can be adjusted to accommodate SLRs, pocket cameras, and others. I wouldn't get this model, however, if you need to carry a telephoto lens (it's too small) or if you're looking to carry around more than two extra lenses. Otherwise, it's a great little bag.

Best Deals for Lowepro Nova 140 AW Camera Bag (Chestnut Brown)

Attractive, comfortable, and functional, this bag easily accomodates my Sony A33 DSLR. The pockets on each outside are nice size, and even the front zipper pouch is cushioned for protection of fragile accessories. Lots of smartly designed little compartments both in the front pouch as well as on the lid, both outside and inside. I especially like the two-option lid closure, both zipper and quick-click-connect, the latter of which I use day-to-day, the former of which I can seal up for extra protection when I choose to. I don't think I'll use the velcro department creators, but they're smartly designed for those who need that. Simply not a better bag out there in my opinion.

Honest reviews on Lowepro Nova 140 AW Camera Bag (Chestnut Brown)

I like the interior zipper for added protection. I have been enjoying this bag on the beach in South Fl., and It's very handy while shooting to unzip and access my polarizer case, or cloth to wipe of to reach in for my lens cap...Lot's of very cool compartments, and the best lowepro camera bag that I've owned over 27 years!

Additionally, I felt that it was an exceptional value, given all that it comes with!

I bought this for my Nikon coolpix camera. I like the case. It is actually a Vivitar camera case I don't know why it was advertised with the Lowpro brand?
