Summary: Fits a camcorder, an SLR, and accessories
Review: Here is what I was able to fit into this backpack:
- Canon GL-1 (larger than most MiniDV digital camcorders)
- GL-1 accessories (charger, cables, remote control, a few blank tapes, 2 batteries)
- Minolta 7xi SLR with 2 lenses (a 28-80 and a 75-300)
- Minolta 5400HS flash (pretty big)
- a bunch of film
- a mini-tripod (one of those table-top things)
I had to reconfigure the inserts significantly, but with a little trial-and-error everything fit in very nicely.
I have not taken this backpack on a trip yet, but it seems fairly comfortable and very well made.
You can also attach a tripod to the outside. This thing is very roomy!

Summary: Amateur and Professionals Will Like This Camera Backpack!
Review: I am a semi-professional photographer and this is a durable all-purpose backpack I can carry my equipment in. It doesn't hold everything a professional would want but it does carry the basic things I need. I especially like being able to take a tripod along without the hassle. I can carry lenses, filters, film, and extra batteries. And it isn't obviously a camera bag to a casual observer who might try slight of hand!

Summary: A good choice
Review: I looked at literally dozens of possible bags and finally settled on this one because of a special need. I don't have a lot of camera equipment but what I do have is somewhat unusual. I needed a bag to carry a recently acquired Fuji GSW690 III medium-format camera, along with my Rollei QZ35W rangefinder, and a few miscellaneous extras, such as a Pentax spotmeter for the Fuji, extra 35 mm and 120 mm film, my little Fuji Tiara APS point and shoot camera, extra batteries, and so on. This is every piece of camera equipment that I own, but it fits nicely inside this small backpack-style bag.

The Fuji is a fairly large camera, although it isn't that heavy, since it's mostly polycarbamate plastic. But it's all-manual--it doesn't even have an internal light meter--hence the need for a spotmeter. This odd assemblage makes for an awkward arrangement in most camera bags, but the backpack format works great. After rearranging the internal dividers I had something that fit perfectly and wasn't that bulky. The only complaint I have is that the backstraps aren't detachable, but this isn't a big deal. All-in all an excellent choice for someone who needs to do some customizing on the bag interior to suit a special need.

Summary: The Perfect Bag...
Review: This is a great carrying solution for all of your camera stuff.
Here's what i was able to cram into this bag:

a Canon GL2 (with lense hood on)
a Sony DCR-PC9
a Sony DSC-S85
a Century Optics .3x ultra fishey lense for the GL2
a Century Optics .55x wide angle lense for the GL2
a Century Optics .3x ultra fishey lense for the PC9
a Titanium .45x wide angle lense for the PC9
a Sony 2x telecoverter for the PC9
a Titanium 2x teleconverter for the S85
a Titanium .48x wide angle for the S85
the extended lense hood for the GL2 eyepiece
the remote control for both the GL2 and the PC9
2 extra batteries (room for more...they're little...)
all the cables and cords and stuff for all the cameras.
a lense pen
a little screwdriver (for adjusting the .3x fish)
2 52mm filter for the S85
a filter kit for the PC9
a filter kit for the GL2
2 52mm stepping rings
a Canon CA-920 charger block
a Glock 19 9mm parabellum to protect my investment :)
-AND- i can still strap a small tripod to it.

No joke.
That's what this bag will hold, and safely too...it's nice and padded and suprisingly sturdy for a soft-shelled backpack.
Of course, that's ALL this bag will hold.
There's no room for any more toys in there.
But I guess that's a good thing since i can't afford any more. :)

Summary: great fit, organization, capacity and looks
Review: This is a nice, snazzy bag, which I use on a bicycle in my city photography excursions. It is very easy to open, snatch out the camera and take your killing shot. I usually carry 2 Nikon bodies, one with 500mm telephoto lens (fits nicely in the cross section of the bag), a whole bunch of filters, 10-15 rolls of film, a flashlight :-), a small tripod with a mount, and a small book (to read if I am bored). Straps are extremely comfortable for extended wear on both a bike and hiking.

Additionally, it does not really look like a big pro-photobag, so it will not attract much unwanted attention by a criminal element, if you considering taking it to the 3rd World.

Summary: Great Pack!
Review: When I found this pack I was looking for something that would conveniently store my SLR camera and its associated lenses, filters, film, etc. I am so glad that I spent the extra dough for something more than just a storage system. This is a very solid pack. I love to take my camera skiing and I have tested this pack with some pretty brutal falls. Of course, I don't recomend taking your camera through extreme conditions because I think eventually your gear will hate you! But, this pack has done a great job of protecting my camera and has allowed me to take it new places. Helping it exeed expectations is the overall "fit" of the pack---it fits close to the body and is very secure. I highly recomend it--------
