Potential buyers who wish a compact backpack move up to the next size made by Tamrac.This is a "very" compact backpack.It is similar to a fannypack on your back.Good for one compact SLR or DSLR(very compact).No battery packs or motor drives attached here.One lens on body and one on side...and maybe throw in a flash.....thats it.As far as quality,Tamrac can't be beat.Will stand up for years.Very attractive in the green color.Just a little too compact for me.Word to the potential buyer....move up.Too much space is better than not enough.

Comments about Tamrac 5273 Expedition 3 Backpack (Green):
I love having a backpack style camera bag! It makes moving your gear so musch easier! There are all sorts of pockets and hooks and loops to attach all your other stuff to, ie; tripod. The only thing I don't like about it is the fact that I was expecting it to be a little larger, shopping online it's hard to tell sometimes, but it does hold all of what I need it to, for now!

Comments about Tamrac 5273 Expedition 3 Backpack (Green):
I use this for storage of my camera, since I do alot of photography when on expeditions. This is wonderful for the purpose I use it for - if you need something to get an immediate photo, I would not recommend this because it is not easily ready. Otherwise, it's wonderful that I don't have to worry about breaking my camera while hiking.

Comments about Tamrac 5273 Expedition 3 Backpack (Green):
This is really well made, very sturdy. The size is perfect for a small camera and accessories. There are plenty of pockets for small items as well as the main ones. The design is made to be rain resistant by having the zippers down inside instead of right on the surface.
It is small; they make larger size, like the 4, 5, 6, 7, etc., if needed. Tamrac is a good company; I will buy their products again for sure. They also make computer cases.
Pros
- Comfortable
- Lightweight
Cons
- To small for anything

Comments about Tamrac 5273 Expedition 3 Backpack (Green):
I use this for Day hiking trips. I really can't say anything good about it. They claim it will hold a DSLR camera and several lens. Simply untrue. I have a Canon XTI, one 18-55 lens, and one Sigma 70-200 lens. They will hold them with no problem. My biggest gripe is that it is not really deep enough to have a battery pack attached to the camera. Whats the use in not having it on the camera when you need it? This pack is just to small for any DSLR camera unless you only take the BARE essentials. I am realatively new to photography and I am looking for another bag already.
