Lowepro Mochila Fastpack 250 (Preta)

Comments about Lowepro Fastpack 250 Backpack (Black):

I rarely use this bag which is a shame since I bought it thinking that it would be my workhorse. It's big, bulky, and the straps just are awkward. I'm not a big guy but it still shouldn't feel like I have a midget on my back pulling me down. The waist strap does add stability and on a few hiking trips it proved durable and stable. It gets the job done but just leaves you wanting more, especially since camera bags are so pricey. This is the second bag I have purchased from Lowepro and most likely the second I will sell/give away to someone else soon. Quick tip, go to a store that carries it and test it out yourself. There isn't one magical bag that accommodates the needs of everyone, maybe this was not meant to be for me.

This camera and notebook backpack is well made and very durable, comfortable, and I am pleased with this. Well padded. The belt strap keeps a full bag stable and makes carrying easier.

The outer zipper storage compartments got pretty tightly packed fast when I added a wide angle lens, medium telephoto, flash, and the factory lens hoods. I could use a larger bag, so if you think you will add to your basic camera system, buy the next larger size up front.

1. The bag was great for air travel. It is sturdy and fits under the seat so I felt my camera was well protected and I had the top compartment for travel incidentals.
2. It seems well made and in the field (hiking) it stood up well to climbing and falling. The top compartment was plenty of room for lunch and water. I felt my camera was secure.
3. It performed as advertised as far as being pretty easy to get my camera out as needed (side access was easy).
4. It is a bit bulkier/heavier than I had hoped.
5. Worst feature and my main complaint - I have a small frame and the shoulder straps rode on my arms rather than my shoulders. It should be made with a chest strap to improve comfort.

I travelled to Europe last week and needed a bag before I left. I specifically needed a bag that would fit my camera computer lenses and personal travel space. The sales rep found this bag and i am very happy with it. Perfect

I purchased this to accommodate Nikon D90, 50mm lens and a Panasonic PF-1, together with laptop, iPad and other associated paraphernalia on holidays overseas. I'm expecting that it'll replace two bags that I might otherwise have taken. The only thing I regret is not having a tripod carrier but c'est la vie.
I'm very impressed with the carrying capacity of the backpack and it's apparent robustness. I 'm looking forward to using it in earnest.

Excellent product. Fits my 70-300L with Canon 60D and lens hood attached in addition to 13 inch laptop, hard-drives, multiple other lenses, etc.

Go to Youtube and search for Fastpack 250, a couple of individuals have good reviews so you can see the backpack's characteristics for yourself.

Comfy and adjustable. Bag fits 15 MB Pro perfectly and plenty of room to carry all my gear.

Just finished packing this bag for a cross country trip. Holds all my gear nicely as well as my laptop and personal belongings.

I love the side entry. This one will hold all of my lenses and flashes. I upgraded from the 100 because it was not big enough. I can use the laptop section for collapsable soft boxes.

I love the number of things I can fit into this bag. All my gadgets, the camera, fruits for a picnic at the park and books to read at the same. I would not recommend for when you are just walking around with a camera, but if you also want to carry other things (like water bottles, a light jacket etc) then its perfect.

The one con, is that I'm scared the camera is going to fall when I open the side pouch to pull it out. It has not happened as yet, there has not even been a scare of that nature, but it seems possible and so I use caution.

This is an excellent backpack. There is plenty of room for my Nikon dslr camera and Nikon 18-200mm lens. There is room enough for another two lenses. The laptop space is more than enough for my 13.3" laptop (my 14" work laptop fit easily. Plenty of pad-protection for everything.There are two problems, one is serious. To carry your camera and laptop without having a sternum strap causes the shoulder straps to lie right on your shoulder blades. This is very uncomfortable. I bought a sternum strap for $6 and the pack is now very comfortable. For [$] Lowepro should have included the strap. Also, there is no provision for a tripod; which is a necessity for any serious photographer. Four stars; no way to even consider a fifth one.

Very capable for my 14" laptop and a D90 with attached 18-105, an extra 35mm, chargers for computer and camera and a few extra items. Still had room left over for some personal items in the top compartment and could have fit more in camera compartment if needed. I'd have gone with the FP200 if it had the computer pocket. Quality as you'd expect from Lowepro...EXCELLENT.

Great Back with plenty of storage, easy to get camera out, but a little bulky

I own a D5000 and 3 lenses and I wanted a bag to carry my stuff and my laptop during personnal travel. Everythings fits perfectly and I still have extra room. Good construction and not too bulky. Happy with my choice !

I purchased this camera backpack mainly for travel since it also holds a laptop. It makes going through TSA much more efficient! I was concerned that it may be too large for me since I'm 5'3", but it's design is very comfortable and adjustable to fit perfectly. Even when fully packed and heavy, the fit makes the weight less noticeable. I really like the camera access without having to take it off completely and open up fully. All in all, I am very pleased with this product.

Having been into DSLR photography for a little over a year now, I have manage to collect a little gear. I started out with the Lowepro slingshot 100 AW, but found myself needing a larger bag. The Fastpack 250 is perfect!!

Like my slingshot, the bag is stylish, well made and comfortable to carry. Also it holds all my gear and then some. It is well padded to protect my gear, but is not too bulky. The laptop compartment is big plus too.

In my bag's main compartment I have my Nikon D5000, 35mm prime lens, 18-55mm kit lens, 70-300mm zoom lens, SB600 flash and some room to spare. In the upper compartment I have cables, rocket pocket blower, gopro video cam, sd card case with sd cards, etc. Other compartments hold filters, gopro vid cam accessories and more cables. Everything I could ever need is in one place and still have room for my 13" macbook pro!!

Since most nature shots require quite a bit of hiking the last thing you need is a backpack that is heavy or bulky. The Fastback allows us very quick access to our camera and is light enough to back in everything without killing your back. In fact, you barely notice it at all. There is enough room for the primary SLR, extra lens, and a full Gary Fong Diffuser set. Great pack for the money. Love the side access to the camera. You never have to set your backpack down in the mud again in order to get to your camera.

This was exactly what I wanted. Great size for a non pro who has nice camera toys and computer and likes to travel! The easy access feature makes this a great choice for one not wanting to remove the pack to grab one's camera.
