Rating: - Amazing Camera Bag

fantastic bag well worth the money built extremely well with plenty of storage i have recommended this bag to many of my friends also will take pro SLR and lens combo's not just the camera's advised in the listing a 7d with a 24 - 105 L attached fits more than well enough with my 430 ex flash gun and other lenses.

the other storage areas have good space also and will happily take many accessories there is even enough room in the top pocket for a jumper or hoody for those winter days coming up

I am very pelased with the rucksack, it was delivered in 36 hours quicker than the expected 3 to 5 days. Reserched the product before buying Made big saving from national High Street supplier and would strongly recommend the product and supplier.

Rating: - great backpack

very spacious and light. It fits on my back perfectly and love the easy to use straps. Just used it on a long haul trip and was able to put in extras for use on the flight.

Rating: - so worth it

First things first, I'm not a professional photographer, so I can only speak for the enthusiastic amateurs out there, who do not have a crazy amount of kit and HUGE lenses.

This is probably my favourite bit of camera accessories I have ever owned! Yes, it's quite bulky, but it's also super practical!

About the camera compartment:
This is really spacious, my little D60 feels positively naked in there! The possibilities to structure the compartment to your own needs are limited, but satisfactory in my opinion. The quick access flap is really useful, although it takes some practise to build up the confidence to take out your camera with only one hand while the rucksack is still on your back. It works though, and you get used to it quickly. There are also neat little pockets for memory cards, batteries, filters, etc., but not excessive.

About the additional storage facilities:
The top half of the rucksack is for misc. use. This compartment is not very big, but it serves. You'll be able to fit your phone, wallet and sandwiches nicely, so unless you go hiking and need a huge amount of provisions, it will do just fine. A number of little inside pockets make it quite well organised, but you will not be able to store anything bulky in here (even a thick jumper can be stretching the limit). However, there's a net pocket on the side of the rucksack which holds drink bottles very nicely (up to 0.75l, I'd say, I wouldn't trust it with anything much bigger than that). The front flap can be used to strap a jacket to the bag.

The laptop compartment is exactly that: a well-padded space where you can store your laptop. I also find it useful for books, maps, travel documents, and all sorts of other large-but-flat items.

The main reason I love this bag to bits though is that it is SUPER COMFORTABLE! I've never been able to carry heavy rucksacks for long, my shoulders started to hurt after an hour or so, and I ended up reducing and reducing the kit I carried around, which isn't really the point if you already own it. This has been a revolution for my photographic experience! Now I can easily fit my camera, three lenses, a drinks bottle and some food in this bag and still comfortably carry it around for a full day, with only minor complaints from my shoulders! It is absolutely amazing - if you are thinking about buying a bag, the extra few quid for the waist and chest straps are SO WORTH IT! I now carry my camera everywhere with me, and loving every second of it.

THE BEST UTILITY BAG I HAVE EVER OWNED! Five stars!

Seems it will be an reliable backpack. Enough space for my E520 + 3 different lenses and a lot of smaller things. Just one minus - you will still have to carry your tripod in hand.. :(
