Summary: Great Bag-But Not for SLR Cameras
Review: As usual from Targus, this is a great bag: well thought out and excellent sturdy construction. But, in spite of the Pro Series in the name, it is definitely not a Pro bag. The bag is not appropriate for SLR cameras or even Prosumer level video. It is great for consumer level products, with enough room for a point and shoot and handheld camcorder and accessories, and some other gadgets, like a separate pouch that attaches to the front strap for your cell phone.

Summary: "too small", but Amazon still promotes this bag
Review: Even though Amazon specifically recommended this bag for the Panasonic Lumix (DMC-FZ20PP) camera, and even though I had to return it because it was too small, and even though my camera does not appear on the compatibility list shown in another customer's review, Amazon annoyingly CONTINUES to recommend this bag for my camera. To add insult to injury, Amazon tried to deduct shipping from my refund by claiming that the error was not their fault. (It took two emails to get the full refund, and that was even after I put a LARGE message in my return box not to deduct shipping -- aargh!)

Regarding the bag itself, construction seemed sound and this might be a good bag for a small point-and-click camera that requires no accesories.

Summary: A decent bag, but not the best for SLR camera
Review: Got it and used for a while. This is a nice-made backpack for outdoor/indoor video or photography. The material is light weighted and strong; wide shoulder strap very comfortable; thick foam stuffing to protect anything inside from shock.
However, be aware that it does NOT fit most SLR cameras with lens on, because the adjustable interior dividers are designed to be placed like a cross there, which give four rooms with roughly sqare shapes. I have to either move one divider up and tilt the camera a little bit to set it in, or take off the long focal lens. The total capacity is large though. I can add my digital camera, charger, flash, camcorder, lots of accessories.
And one more, it is inexpensive.

Summary: THE POINT---Im using it and not just for camera
Review: I am one of those people with several high tech small equipments who is always on the go.

This bag is great. I'm using it for my VAIO V505EC Sony laptop. It works wonders. hey, I dont normally write reviews bec. it takes most of my time, but I have to recommend this bag.

I am advising people to buy this if they want a backpack for their small equipment. Dont think about those bulky SLR cameras or 15-17 inches of laptop. Think portability. If you want to glide around the city withouth an aching back then I want you to buy this camera/laptop/ipod backpack.

Hey, you may be wondering how in the world am I going to fit my sony vaio laptop,eh? well, the dividers you see in the photo is quite deceiving. its just velcro divider- that means you can manipulate the end and stuff. Anyway, to hold my laptop, I use two velcro divider to strap ot. Truthfully, I end up using a longer velcro from another bag. It works well! my expensive laptop is held togther by the strap bec of the velcro.

No more descriptiopn of the velcor. its boring me.

Bottom line---this bag is cheap and on SALE. You cant go wrong bec it is made from good material and it has pockets for batteries and films. Targus struck my heart with such ingenuity.

Im taking my time writing this review bec. i love this bag. backpacks and cases from sony will cost me 80 dollars (not including the hideous tax and repulsive shipping fee). Well, i got a free gigantic laptop bag from Sony..huhuhu.. I'm petite size 5'3 so I look pathetic with the gigantic bag over me. But with this bag, no body knows that I have a laptop in it. Its a humble bag. I am not scared to walk around New York with it.

There--i poured my heart. Just give me a call if you want to chat. :) Mwaa!

Summary: Targus camcorder bag
Review: I bought this bag for a Sony DCR TRV19 mini DV camcorder. It has enough room for the cables , power supply, external mic and about three tapes. Not huge but sufficient if you want to keep size to a minimum. I have owned Targus laptop computer bags and found them to be of high quality and durability. So far this bag is living up to its legacy. I bought it on sale for 9.99. I would still pay the 12 bucks for it.

Summary: Smaller Than It Looks
Review: I have mixed feeling on this photo-backback. It's not bad but it is small......smaller than it looks in the photos. I'm barely able to squeeze my Canon Digital Rebel (300D) + 300/4 IS + 1.4X teleconverter. Length-wise it is a VERY tight fit. Of course that combination is 13" long. There is room left width-wise for one more body and a small lens or flash.

The dividers act as padding but the built-in padding of the pack is minimal. The zippers look a bit flimsy too but no problems yet. There are a couple of other exterior pockets, (one on the straps for a cell phone) that might be handy. I would not pay anymore than $12 or so + shipping from an alternate Amazon seller for this pack.

Summary: Fits my needs perfectly
Review: I purchased this bag to carry my Hp photosmart Digital camera and photo printer along with , 100pk 4"x 6" photo paper, power cord and two chargers that each hold 4 AA batteries, and I still have room left. I'm very pleased.

Summary: Too Small
Review: Sony DSC-F717 does NOT fit. Cannot comment on the other aspects of this item as it is going back to Amazon ASAP.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I love it.
Review: Targus DPMV02 Pro Series Video/Photo Backpack. I can put both of my digital cameras in, all my lenses, flashes, and my mp3 player. Padded sections keep everything from getting scratched on everything else. It also keeps everything nice and neat. The pack looks small but it held all my stuff with ease. The padded dividers also keep it very quit which is great cause i take a lot of wildlife photos. The pack isn't small but it's compact and it stays high on my back when i'm walking through tall brush. Also it's smooth so i'm not snagging it all the time on things. :)

It has a convenient cell phone pocket that you can situate a bunch of places on the straps.

The only thing i found it lacking was a spot for my tripod in or on the bag.
