By Brandon
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3294QOZF44Z9Q UPDATE AS OF 1/9/11:
This bag is still doing wonderful, but I thought I will have to update you guys on the gear it is holding. Currently, it is keeping my Canon Rebel XTi (w/ battery grip), Canon EF 70-300mm USM, Canon EF-S 55-250mm IS, Canon EF 50mm f/1.8, Canon EF 28-80mm, and Canon EF-S 18-55mm. As well, it is keeping my Canon ZR930 MiniDV camcorder, Canon Rebel 2000 film SLR, filters, pouch of accesories such as chargers, memory card reader, etc, and a few little items. This bag seems to hold whatsoever you throw at it! Still a 5 star bag!

I added a video to this review to show the amounts of gear capable to be stored in this bag.
I have been looking to buy a camera backpack for my SLRs, lenses, and other accessories, and I had narrowed it down to the Canon 200EG backpack. I loved the compact size to the bag, but the huge area inside for when it comes to two bodies (a must) as well as excess room for lenses. I tried the bag out at Best Buy, and I was in regards to ready to buy it on Amazon, until this bag came up as a commended choice. It looks identical to the Canon, but without the giant ‘steal me’ Canon logo. Reviews for this bag backed up my choice, so I figured I would try this baby out, and if I din’t like it, just return it for the Canon.
Little did I know, this bag exceeded my expected values with features much better than the 200EG. For one, the extra padding on the shoulder straps. You also get a belt strap to support your back with heavy gear. I’m in regards to 5’3″ and the bag fits snug and comfortably.
The exterior is made of a lasting material, which ought to hold up versus rain. The interior is padded very nicely to secure your gear in the bumpiest of my bike rides, which is nice. The zippers are sturdy, though I wish they were having little impact to put a lock onto. Lets talk with regards to what this bad boy may hold. I am competent to fit my DSLR Canon Rebel XTi (w/ battery grip) in the main slot, my film Rebel 2000 infront of the XTi, my PowerShot P&S, my MiniDV camcorder, 75-300mm telephoto lens, 28-80mm walk-around lens, and 18-55mm kit lens, with room to spare! In the meantime, I keep my chargers, minidv tapes, and remotes in the open spot. That is until I invest in a flash unit. If you pack everything right, you may effortlessly pack three SLR bodies, three lenses, a P&S, and other gear in the bag. The top mounted pockets is home to my filters, memory cards, cables, and cloths. The side of the bag may hold a tripod safe and securely. You may also find spots for a phone, or even fit a little notebook pc (more likely a netbook) in the main pocket. Which is nice giving careful consideration to there is no laptop slot.
All in all, this bag is highly commended in my opinion. Keep it in mind in your searches, and don’t click away because it is Amazon branded. It’s higher quality than my old Lowepro!

Versatile backpack for more than cameras
By Yarii
This camera backpack may effortlessly hold 2 full-size DSLR cameras and a few extra lenses, or even numerous point & shoot cameras all in the same case. A mini tripod will unquestionably fit inside, not sure regarding a full-size tripod since I don’t own one (if they fold up you may be competent to). Whatever you want this case to be for your queer needs, it may morph into it.
The main section of the backpack is setup into 9 discerned compartments. However these compartments (slightly padded BTW) are fastened with Velcro, so you may configure the interior of the backpack into anything that you would need it for. You may even remove all the compartments if you want and use it as a regular backpack. Inside the “lid” are two discerned see-though plastic zippered compartments as well.
As far as the exterior of the backpack, each side as two Velcro-closure pockets with flaps, which measure approx. 4.5″ by 4″ wide. The outside top (lid) has 2 big zippered pockets, there is TONS of storage areas with this case/backpack.
The under part of the backpack which would come in contact with your back is made of mesh to keep you a little cooler while hauling it around. The straps are lightly padded and adjustable. It was comfortable for me (I am 5′ 4″), but I doubt if it would fit well for any person over 200 lbs.
As a whole, the backpack is lightly padded with a somewhat soft tricot lining. The exterior is nylon and is effortlessly cleaned with a wet cloth. There is a handle on top if you don’t want to use carry it as a backpack, which I do, since I don’t think backpacks are all that comfortable no matter how padded the straps are.

Sturdy & lightweight “not so mini” backpack.
By H. Woodbury
Four & a half stars. A well-made and practical backpack for photographers. I agree with the remarks that it could hold 2 SLR bodies and various lenses or flashes. The compartments are adjustable. You could remove all the dividers and have one big compartment. As lightweight as this backpack is, I am amazed at how sturdy it is. The front pockets could hold flatter items such as memory cards, photos, possibly a lightweight reflective material. Although it’s handsome sufficient for a plain black backpack, it’s not precisely the most chic backpack, so I’m knocking it down 1/2 star. The surface on inside and out is quality. Not the cheap fabric you find in a lot of similar packs. I am uploading a close-up of the sporty tabs and texture. The other pictures posted are unfeigned to the backpack, so take a look at those.
