I wanted a small backpack that would be great for traveling in cities in Spain. The Fastpack 100 fits my 7D with 17-40 with hood reversed as well as my nifty fifty with hood reversed in the main compartment. I love the two compartment design for travel as you don't have to lay the pack on the ground and open the entire bag to access other items. The quick access capability is also very nice. The camera compartment will not hold a pro body (Nikon DX series or Canon 1D series body or any body with battery grip attached) nor will it carry a lens much wider or longer than the 17-40 with hood reversed. The top compartment is very roomy and fits my wallet, cell phone, keys, and plenty of extra space for batteries, chargers, a small point and shoot camera, cables, and a flash if I wanted to pack one.
I debated between this bag and the Lowepro Slingshot 100. The decision came down to upper compartment space. The fastpack has a lot more room for accessories in the top compartment than the slingshot does making it a better option for me. The Slingshot 100 has more room in the camera compartment.
My only con about this bag is that it doesn't have a netbook compartment in the back, which would have been great and very convenient.

Have used this for one year now and it is just so-so. The side compartment for the camera is OK if you carry the pack on your left shoulder but not your right. I found out the hard way that you have to be very, very careful to zip the camera compartment completely shut. The side design allows the camera to easily fall out. It is also too small to carry a camera with a zoom lens attached. The only other gripe is that it was very hot. The back padding didn't seem to breath very well in hot climates.

I bought this as an accessory to my new Canon T4i and so far it's been great. The compartments are many and sufficiently spacious even though the compartment for the camera could be more snug.
The lost star is for comfort. It is stiff and the straps are a little abrasive.
But it works, so no complaints here!

I use this product while on the field for photographing sports. I have a larger photo backpack I use for toting more of my gear for other assignments, but wanted something smaller/ more comfortable so I can be more agile and not be slowed down by a big bag. I only need a small bag while shooting to hold an extra lens, batteries, memory cards, snacks,and water. It's a perfect fit for my needs and looks cute too.

Great little pack for one. Unfortunately I recently used it at a charity run for my wife and my camera gear. In reality it's great for one camera, two lens, and a few small extras. Light and comfortable.

Comments about Lowepro Fastpack 100 Backpack (Red/Black):
I really like the size, is very portable and light. The materials have been durable. I think to me the fact that is waterproof is priceless, cause I can be outside taking pictures of my trips and not being worried about my equipment. I dont like the color so much, it lacks some personality, I will love to see maybe a green or orange detail or even a brown exterior instead of the black and red.
The upper zipper is a bit unconfortable, since the bag is made out of a strong material is not very flexible and to open it you have to pull and fold.
But oder than that it works perfectly, its an awesome product.

First of all, I love the colour, especially since it was cheaper than the blue one for some reason.
This bag is well padded for protecting your camera and also your shoulders when carrying it around. Great for taking overseas. You can stick other items in there too, no need for a separate camera bag and hand bag!
The bottom part is separated into different compartments for your camera gear, like lenses etc. There are also plenty of pockets throughout the bag..and one for your mobile too!

I use the bag for my nikon d40, my telephoto lens, and my fisheye lens. The bag easily fits thus equipment and still has room for another lens. Moreover, the top pocket is great for Other camera gear, such as chargers or point and shoot cameras, or personal items, such as wallet or cell phone. The pocket can even fit a light sweat shirt. I love this bag.

Comments about Lowepro Fastpack 100 Backpack (Red/Black):
The bag is much smaller than I acctually thought browsing on the website, what it probably my fault as I should have read better the specs. It turns out for me it is hard to put some big lenses on it like my 70-300mm Tele.
Besides that the bag is very well constructed, and it made me very confortable to put my equipment there with the feeling that it is safe from any damage.
