Comments about National Geographic NG W5050 Walkabout Rucksack (Small, Gray):
Well built, ideal for day trip. Be aware it is small. You won't be able to pack much besides your camera and gear, but if that what you are looking for the bag is worth it.
I wanted something small so that works for me: I use it to travel with my X100 + filters + iPad. If you are looking to store an SLR, lenses and computer, you may reach its limits.

This worked out great for me. In it I have my hv40 camera, 3 batteries, camera filters, shotgun mic, 2 packs (5 each) of minidv tapes, headphones, battery charger other random small things and my 13inch macbook. It is a solid pack. Good zippers. Everything I have in it fits great. Comes with a plastic rain cover for the pack. Feels comfortable. I havent traveled with it on my back for a long distance though.
