I bought my 3 day trip. The backpack is great. Unlike ordinary backpacks, that has room for a camera, lenses and accessories. Also has room to computer and other things on top. Great stuff and not look like a bag of photographic equipment.

I bought this rucksack to replace my worn out N.G. canvas bag. Excellent purchase. Better organized, firm - not floppy, the side pouches are setup for tripods or umbrellas. One caution: the bottom section has the zipper along on the bottom of the bag. If you forget to close it, your your gear is on the ground. A couple straps are longer than necessary (minor irritation). Also, the "thumb" straps on the shoulder pads were sewn in upside down so they don't catch into the upper metal rings (also minor irritation). However, it is overall a better product that sits well on the back. An outstanding day pack for photography or commuting.

I carry this on a daily basis and it is almost perfect. The only things I am not crazy about are the accessibility of the camera and the tripod holder.

The bag is great for carrying the camera but if you want to access it, you really need to take the bag off to get to it. Not a big deal but it is a little awkward at times.

The tripod pocket is a fantastic idea and I really love the fact that if I am not carrying the tripod, I can close the pocket and it doesn't look like something is missing. My only complaint with it is the certain tripods are a very tight fit depending on how the tripod folds.

Other than that, this is a great bag for traveling anywhere. It is very "low key" and does not scream "camera bag!". It looks like a regular backpack. HAs a lot of space and convenient front pockets for smaller items.

I have been looking for something to carry my camera (Canon T1i) and lens as well as my tripod with me on the local bike trails. Before I could not carry anything but my camera and one small lens in a small case but nothing else. This rucksack is great, I can now carry my camera, lens , tripod and other camera gear with me. It's lightweight, comfortable, and have plenty of pockets for everything I want to carry with.

I gave this bag as a gift for my husband and he loved it. It fit all of his gear plus he had extra room to fit stuff for our day hike. I love that it doesn't look like a camera bag.

As with any purchase I make over [$], I spent a large amount of time reviewing my options. This bag came up on my initial searches, but it looked ugly on the website. Then I *went* to B&H, saw the bag first hand and immediately fell in love - it was beautiful. BUT, it failed to meet all of my criteria - although it was water resistant, lightweight and had compartments for laptop AND DSLR equip., it lacked a waist strap. So I moved along. After purchasing another bag and being dissapointed at the strapping, I decided to go with my shallow, girly side and bought the beautiful NatGeo. It's amazo. Room for everything, comfortable and rugged straps, and it's already beaten some serious rainfall I had to endure during a conference (without having to unpack the rain cover I purchased separately). I hated the DSLR equip velcro-job (whoever created it never excelled at Tetris), but I had tons of pieces from my smaller Nikon carrying case, so I solved my own problem.

I think that for my purposes, a backpack that is at once a padded camera bag, laptop bag and multipurpose day/travel pack (all while being lightweight) is nearly impossible to find. It's basically impossible! However, this bag makes a pretty good attempt to do it all. Good space for basic photo gear and a laptop as well as other things, it's still lightweight and waterproof (if you get the rain slick guy, which I recommend). And it's got style.

Too soon to tell if it's well made...

Great bag in a lot of ways, good camera storage (bad access to it though), great top compartment for random things, and a slide down the back for magazines which i couldn't find on almost any other bag... also a great bag because it just doesn't look like a camera bag, which i like.

This is a great bag, compact, well compartmented and stylish. It might be too small for some pros but for those who don't need to carry a massive arsenal this is pretty much perfect.

A good-looking, inconspicuous bag that provides a slim option for those wanting to carry a notebook and their camera gear…

I wanted a bag that I could take round the world with me that could keep my camera gear safe, whilst being adaptable enough to be used as a day-pack. It meets those requirements, but the level of protection afforded your camera equipment is a little disappointing. The base of the bag needs more padding, and I will be hunting down some more dividers to this end.

However, this weakness is also its biggest strength; the bag can in no way be termed bulky, certainly not compared with something like the Kata Bumblebee DL210. I've carried it around Melbourne, Australia and I would be shocked if anyone was even aware that it is a camera bag – a big plus in my book.

The upper compartment is more spacious than I expected, and the notebook compartment easily accommodates my HP 15". The straps are well padded, and although the bag doesn't have a supportive waist band, it's easy to carry.

I've got a 50D, a 24-105mm L, Sigma 10-20mm and a 50mm 1.8 all in the bag with plenty to spare – but admittedly I'll be using some of this free space to bulk up the padding!

Perfect bag, I love the fact that It doesn't look like a camera bag. the inserts are great and the size is perfect. Love the design on the inside. Great slot on the back for my MacBook. Fantastic quality. My only complaint is theres leather on the bag, and B&H didn't say anywhere that there was leather on the product. Very disappointing because I'm vegan, but the product was just too good to return.

My sister is travelling to India and South East Asia, and I give this backpack as a presente. She could fit her laptop, her professional camara and also her video recorder. It´s great. She can have it all in one place. Also, is very comfortable to carry and beautiful as well.

Great high-quality backpack for all of my needs - I can fit a 7D, 580 Speedlite, 2 good sized lenses, filters, batteries, 15" MacBook Pro, cables, power supplies, cards, pens and notebook, blower, cleaning supplies, remote, collapsable reflector, gorillapod+ballhead, and a tripod all in a good-looking backpack, and all well-organized... and I still have room for more! The metal buckles and leather straps are rugged quality (no plastic clips to break in the cold).

My only complaint would be the bottom zipper for the camera - you access it though the bottom of the bag, and I'm afraid one of these days I'll put the camera away without zipping the bottom - the bag is rigid enough that it looks closed even when the zipper is open. I have to constantly check to make sure I've zipped up before slinging it over my back :)

I bought my Mom a D5000 to take to Alaska and she needed a bag for a carry-on that would work as well on the plane as it would on the train. This bag will be perfect!
