The build quality is high and I feel secure in storing/transporting my camera and lenses in this bag. I have found that if I carry on one shoulder, I can swing the bag around to front and retrieve camera/lenses without putting the bag down. This is handy if I am in a muddy environment where I might not wish to set my bag down.
Lower Camera Compartment:
-Includes a zipper pocket that I use to store memory cards and adapters. (Located inside front flap)
-Will fit with a 55-200mm attached.
-I store an extra lens, extra battery, battery charger and cable, and the lens hood for a 55-200mm. I still have a section completely empty that could easily fit another lens.
-With the charger stored up top, I could see fitting four additional lenses safely in the bottom.
Upper Storage Compartment:
-Elastic rimmed mesh pocket inside.
-About the size of a soccer ball.
Exterior:
-Three elastic rimmed mesh pockets, two on side and one large pocket on outside of camera compartment flap.
-Each compartment has dual zippers.
-Each zipper has a rain flap that I leave folded up most of the time.
-Harness straps are adjustable and have a have a small belt strap (which things can be clipped to)across each.
-Harness straps and back are comfortable and padded.
Cons:
-I can't think of any. This bag fits my needs well. Too big or too small is a relative description and dependent on your need.

I purchased this backpack for a second camera used for another job. I also own the Tamrac Adventure backpack (Model 5546) [@] and found the 3370 to be a poor substitute. It's very basic as a camera backpack with minimal straps for securing the pack while walking or hiking around. Storage capacity is very good. Padding is also severely lacking on this model.

Great bag. Construction quality seems nice. Large top section for misc accessories. Only downside is it just a little tight with a battery grip (I have Canon 30D with grip) and is only long enough for a mid-size lens (I have Canon 85mm f/1.8 and Tokina 11-16 and both fit fine but nothing bigger).

Comments about Tamrac 3370 Aero 70 Photo Backpack (Black):
Simply: It has enough storage for anything from just a camera and lens, up to a few lenses, lunch, and maybe a hoodie for cold days.
More detailed with personal attraction to bag:
First of all, I rated the backpack 4 stars because I received it about a week ago. Second, my title is kind of misleading, but my point is this: I am a BRAND NEW camera owner. I just got a refurbished d3100 kit, and I wanted something to be able to use for trips, and a shoulder bag was out of the question for me (especially since we have a 6 months old and the two straps make it easier to carry with a diaper bag).
The QUALITY of manufacturing seems to be high. Upon arrival I was impressed with how well the zippers work and how sturdy it was.
The COMFORT and FIT is a little bit odd. The bag is smaller than a normal backpack (as can be seen in the dimensions) and it is a bit "square" feeling when you put it on. BUT that's because it has to protect some things of value (ie. a camera and lenses). Plus you won't look like a dweep when you walk around with it on (and a leash is NOT included in case you wanted it for your kid jkjk)
The STORAGE is great. I would have preferred one more small outside zipper pocket, but am beyond content with what it does offer. There are side bungee/mesh pockets for a water bottle.
Overall experience with B&H and the product: I hate Fedex, and this bag was shipped through them. A personal issue, I guess. Other than that, I will go to B&H in the future. The bag: I highly recommend it if you want something that isn't a typical shoulder camera bag, and if you want a bit of extra room for more than just your camera.

I'm an amateur photographer who needed something that could hold personal items in addition to my camera and lens. This works quite well. In the main camera compartment, it easily holds my camera w/attached lens, extra zoom lens, batteries and charger, as well as a smaller digital camera, and lens cleaner. The top portion has plenty of room for my wallet, a poncho, that small digital camera if I want to get to it quickly, and other personal items.

I bought this product thinking it was going to have more room than it actually did. It is a well made product, but I should have given the specifications more attention before I bought. I am a 6'2" guy, and it feels really tiny on me. It would have been perfect for my wife though...

Compact and yet it accommodates what I basically need for a photo expedition without it looking like a "camera bag." It just looks like an ordinary backpack and yet the interior is ergonomically designed to serve its purpose. Very sturdy too and provides excellent protective padding for your cam and lenses.

Comments about Tamrac 3370 Aero 70 Photo Backpack (Black):
I needed a way to take my D700 with 50-200 lens, extra battery, flash, and recharger to my sister's for Thanksgiving. Travelling across the country, I needed room for a book, ticket, and toiletries lest my bags be routed elsewhere. I hike the Sierra in the summer so I needed a place for both camera an light jacket/lunch, etc. This thing fits the bill. Perfectly. The lower section is completely modifiable so you can change from an extra lens to batteries in a hearbeat. My camera is accessable. The reviews stating that the upper section is about the size of a volleyball is accurate. I jimmied a hard backed book into the space but I doubt that an IPAD will fit. This thing is perfect for a day hike in the mountains or a trip where the need is to carry 1 body, a lens or two and cords. If hiking or at a track, there is webbing on the outside for water. This keeps your life simple. I give it 4 stars only because the top, with an extra very little bit, could hold an IPAD or a book and be therefore, spot on.

This is a wonderful product. It is basic in its design and beautifully simplistic. The bag is light, easily accessible and surprisingly padded.
Perfect road kit for on the go photography. I work with this bag in places that are a little rough on equipment like dirt bike tracks, paintball fields and off road trucking rallies. The backpack has held up well.
My favorite feature is the inconspicuous look of the bag makes it slightly safer from theft than most by not screaming "Expensive camera bag containing high dollar equipment".
This bag is essential, get it.

Comments about Tamrac 3370 Aero 70 Photo Backpack (Black):
What can I say -- this backpack is perfect. I've been carrying a normal, over-the-shoulder case for my Nikon D70 for the last couple years and always hated lugging it around, on planes, etc. This backpack is compact and lightweight but sturdy and well-padded. The top portion allowed me to fit all my other travel necessities, eliminating the need for a second travel bag. It was so simple. I walked all around for three straight days in it without any back / shoulder pain and without having my hands full of stuff. Highly recommended.

I use this product when I am out taking pictures it's super light and comfirtable. It's really nice you can take out the dividers and arrange it to how you want or like it. If you are a photographer and have a lot of stuff this probably wouldn't be big enough but a photographer just starting out or a hobby this is a great bag.

This bag is great. I love everything about it. The thin profile and great straps make this bag great for the every day photographer who has a few lenses.
I carry a long telephoto Nikkor in the top compartment, along with some other odds and ends. I carry my body with a lens attached and two smaller lenses in the bottom compartment.
