This is a great bag, beautiful even! I wanted to upgrade to a larger camera bag so I didn't have to carry multiple bags with me. I also just got a 17" macbook pro and wanted to have a camera bag that it fit in.

I'm very pleased with my purchase. The bag is actually a bit larger than I expected it to be, but that's not a problem in my book. Seeing as I can fit all my stuff in it! It also has a nice big pocket on the outside of the back that you can fit a reflector or other thin objects into. Super handy!

I have one camera body (5D MK II) with a battery grip attached, 3 lenses, speedlite, and various other pieces of equipment and everything fits great! Including my tripod (which fits INSIDE the bag)! I personally think it would be pushing it (or just impractical) to try and fit two camera bodies in side the bag and expect to fit much more (at least on the inside). But that's just my personal opinion.

Now for the bag itself. It is VERY well constructed. Solid, tight and very sturdy. All the materials appear to be top quality. Even the rain sleeve (which is not pictured) is great quality! The orange inside is soft and felt like. The color is really handy too because it makes it easy to find your stuff, even in dark lighting.

I do wish that they had included a little reference/instruction sheet for assembling the inside. But, that's not really too much of a big deal, just would've been nice if they had.

For those of you wondering about the weight (it being 7+ lbs.) don't worry too much. It is heavy, but the straps are padded and once it's in your hands 7 lbs. doesn't feel bad at all. It converts to a backpack easily, so if your shoulder or hand get's tired there is another way to carry it.

So far I have no complaints about my purchase. Yes, it was pricy. But it is worth it for the top quality I received.

I ordered this bag as a replacement for my Tamrac Adventure 9 backpack that is running out of room for my gear. And, I was very impressed by the bags construction and style. Crumpler is known for exciting styles and colors.

But, I found that the bag was just too bulky for me.

Additionally, I found the loading style a bit cumbersome. Much like other shoulder bags, this bag requires you to create layers of items. They give an ample number of dividers of various shapes and sizes to do so. But, I couldn't seem to create a flow that made me happy.

There was one things that I found positively infuriating about this bag. It doesn't come with an instruction manual!!!!!! Crumpler has gone to great lengths to create a unique and creative strap system. (It doubles as a backpack, etc.) But, it would be nice if they gave you instructions on how to make it work easily, rather than fiddling with it for 3 hours to learn how to use the quickflick buckle, etc. (How about an online video or something guys!)

Plus, it would be nice if they gave you examples of how to utilize the divider system to create your workflow.

BTW - if you haven't done so, check out the manufacturer's website! It's a very interesting place!

I don't use it unless I travel, otherwise I use another bag to carry my camera around the city. Traveling, it has a sleeve you can slip your carry-on handle through. Push comes to shove, you can convert it into a pseudo backpack. It's comfortable enough. Did a couple of shoots I had to take the bag with me, it was heavy as heck but comfortable enough. Lots of padding and a lot of dividers. I keep all my gear in one place so it's easy to find.To give you an idea what you can fit in this bag these are the items I've got living in it.

1V-HS, Rebel XTI, 1DS-MK3, 24-70 2.8L, 28-300 5.6L, 70-200 2.8L IS II USM, The Artic Butterfly pro kit. 12 pack sensor swab and eclipse. Giotto Blower. a couple of hand towels. 2 580EXII. 4 flash cards. Sto Fen Omni bounce, Remote Switch, 15' Mac. Flash card reader. charger for 1V-HS, Charger for 1DS MKIII, 2 extra batteries for 1ds-mkIII. Couple of double A rechargable batteries and the charger. Remote Switch. Remote switch for the flash. an ipod.

I use it as the mothership for all my wife's and my own camera gear. It's great to travel with. I use it for transport and use a smaller bag for everyday exploring.

Again great for travelling as it satifies most airlines carryon limit of one computer/camera bag and a carry on.

This bag holds it all. I carry 2 pro bodies with lenses attached, 3 additional lenses, a 15" Macbook Pro, and a leica M8. When you load it up it does get heavy, but it can be worn as a backpack if needed. I've taken this bag all over the world, and it doesn't look like a camera bag, this is useful when working in a hot spot.

I carry 2 bodies, and 3 lenses, plus this bag has great pockets for all your gear.
Only downside- a little too heavy, but worth the trade-off. Buy it,you won't be sorry

I looked for ages for a bag that would hold nearly all of my gear.
I broke my collar bone about 8 months ago and can no longer carry any weight on my right sholder. As a result I am unable to use any backpack design. Nearly all sling bags also go over the right sholder and nobody makes a large enough one that fits over the left.

I also love the quaility of this bag. It is shiped with a huge array of deviders alowing you to customize the bag for any collection of gear. The construction is top quaility, tightly stiched and really well thought out. The waight of this bag distributes well across the body and is really very comfortable to cary for long hauls.

this is a top notch pice of kit that blances great quaility and amazing flexability making it work every penny and probably more.

I have a Nikon D3. With a lens attached it doesn't fit particularly well. I sucked it up and cut out the part that is supposed to hold the 17" computer (which I will take in a seperate container. Now things all fit much better. Well constructed. Wish that the top sealed the inside a bit better though.

I upgraded from a 7 Million Dollar Home and a Customary Barge, this bag has it all! I can carry all the necessary photo equipment on location and that includes my MacBook! I can comfortable pack my 40D with lens and it still accommodates 7 more lenses, flashes, diffusers and all the cables - straps and what nots! I really should have upgraded to this bag months ago - if you are thinking of getting it, JUST DO IT!

Where to start... The inside has plenty-o-room for all you need and more. The bag comes with lots of multi-sized dividers so whatever type of camera or cameras, you can make everything fit snug. Great construction inside and out, comfortable handle and easy access to all your goodies. Great bag.
