If you want to tote around one dSLR body, a telephoto, a couple zoom lenses, a flash, and some standard accessories around comfortably, then this medium backpack is a great choice. It fits medium sized dSLR's like the canon 50D and nikon d90 like a glove...provided there's no battery grip attached. Ample padding, fits a canon 70-200 f2.8 nice and snug, normal primes and mild telephotos can be stored vertically in the compartments. Perhaps not enough padding/weatherproofing for extreme excursions or those who just treat their gear roughly. If that's your thing, get an expedition 5 instead. Much more padding/weatherproofing and deep enough to accomodate a battery grip if you have one. As always, tamrac makes a superb photo backpack. It'll get dirty, but it won't wear out.

So I tired this bag out for the first time when I went on a thirty mile biking trip from though Queens to Brooklyn. This bag was great for the basics of camera equipment, and was FAIRLY reasonably priced. The only gripe was that there was NO space for ANYTHING else. Who makes a backpack without room for a cellphone, wallet water bottle?!?! This would have been useful even if I was just walking around, and not on a biking trip and really I think it should be a basic consideration in backpack construction.

If you are looking for a camera bag that protects your gear and easy to carry, then a Tamrac backpack is the bag for you. I was using a smaller Tamrac backpack, but needed to upgrade and couldn't be happier that I stuck with this brand and style!

I use the pack to keep my 5DIII and 70/200 with me all the time. Its compact, and it is like the pack was designed for the camera/lens combo because it fits perfect. If I had to say anything negative about the pack I would say it is lacking in padding. Not much else can come along but that is what the Adventure 7 is for : )

Just got my backpack and can't wait to put it to use. It's smaller than I thought it would be but has a lot of storage. The lens compartments are removable so you can customize to suit your needs.

Comments about Tamrac 5374 Adventure 74 Backpack (Gray/Black):
This is a good medium size bag to organize and carry all of my lenses, flash, and camera body. I'm carrying 3 telephotos, 1 Canon EOS body, a flash, and miscellaneous other accessories. I've got room for one more lens.
Everything is well padded and the bag has been comfortable for short walking trips (1/2 hour so far). The straps distribute the weight well and its well padded. Its easy to put into the car or carry on a plane. I'm primarily using it to carry everything in one place so I have my gear with me when on vacation or visiting my grandchildren.
It seems well made with heavy duty zippers and material but I haven't really used it enough to put it to the test.
I considered the smaller version of this and am glad I didn't get it as I don't think all of my lenses would fit.
My only complaints are: 1) No bottle carrier. Should have been included at this price.
2) Tamrack's color coded card storage system is mostly a waste of space. They're too small to hold my spare battery and I don't need this many slots to hold spare memory cards.

Small backpack style camera bag with plenty of room. Very comfortable to wear and durable.
Store camera body, 2 lenses, camcorder, external flash, and assorted filters and still have roon for more. Water resistant and great for backpacking type trips. Highly recommended.

I have owned this bag and my Nikon d300s camera for almost a year. I am writing my review after being in an ATV accident where I was thrown in the water with my backpack & camera attached to me. Four-wheeler landed on top of me and after being under water for a couple of minutes camera was completely dry and undamaged. I would recommend this backpack to anyone.

Perfect for hiking days and trips, especially if the weather is questionable. Love that it is waterproof. Great pockets for a variety of gear. Need to add a separate water bottle holder if you want one.
I had the larger one and exchanged for this smaller size because the larger one was too big on my petite frame. It is a better size for me. Only wish is that it were a little more rounded to fit the curves of a body a bit better.

Very pleased. It's surprising just how much it will hold. Camera w/lens, plus 4 more lens, flash, filters and room still left. Yet it's not a large pack. I just wish it had a place to attach straps on the bottom.

I used to have a Tamrac Expedition 3, but stuff I carry was to tight and it was uneasy to get it out from the backpack.
This Adventure 74 is a bit more spacious than Expedition 3 buy still keeps small dimensions that make it very easy and comfortable to carry. I can fit in my brand new Canon Rebel T2i, with a 28-200 lens attached, a fisheye lens, a 100-300 zoom, my flash and even my Canon FS11 camcorder.
I strongly recommend it if you're looking for something spacious, sturdy but not bulky...

This backpack is compact but roomy and has room for important gear. My daughter used this pack when she went to Ireland for two weeks so I bought one for myself. It is compact enough to store in the overhead yet has enough room for camera body,extra lenses, batteries, cards and cables. Durable and protective of equipment.
