Comments about Lowepro CompuDaypack:
Most packs give a bit more room for the size computer they sell to. This pack could not even come close to a 17" computer and a 17.3" was hanging out the top. The camera storage is minimal at best. It was not deep enough to accommodate my d7000 with the 24-120 lens. Even if it was deep enough, there was no room for my wide angle and flash with a few accessories.
Nicely constructed and the right idea but not big enough to do anything with.

Comments about Lowepro CompuDaypack:
As an airline pilot, I needed a way to bring my camera gear on my trips without having too many bags to cary. This backpack allows me to combine my camera bag and laptop bag into one. This backpack gets used very hard. It goes in and out of airplanes all day long and fits perfectly in the overhead compartment for the flight home. There is just enough room for my 15 inch laptop a 35mm DSLR with three lenses and all the power cords cables and chargers. There is also tonnes of padding to protect your gear. As much as this bag gets moved around, I have never been concerned about damaging anything. This backpack is not designed for use as a slingbag or for quick access to the camera. You can't access your camera while wearing it.Its best use is for compact transportation for your gear. I've not used it as a backpack much. It spends most of the time on top of a rollerboard being pulled through an airport. The only a addition I would make would be a chest strap. It would help keep it attached to the rollerboard.

Comments about Lowepro CompuDaypack:
I struggled to find a good bag that could hold my camera, two lenses, a notebook/iPad, and this is the biggie for me, my travel CPAP machine. Then I found this little beauty. It holds everything I need to carryon the plane. And my CPAP and tubing and sleep mask fit perfectly into the top compartment. I don't ever want to check my camera, my computer or my CPAP as it is a medical device. This bag holds all three with room for extras, like batteries, filters, all of my cords and charges and my travel documents. I have now traveled three times with this bag and I love it. Only complaint is I wish it had a tripod holder. Then I would give it a perfect 5 star rating.

Comments about Lowepro CompuDaypack:
Easily packed with many electronics including large laptop and much camera equipment. If you're like me and generally bring a lot of electronics with you on flights, having this bag packed full of them is an easy way to quickly make your way through security without having to unload all your other items and to safely carry your electronics in a "personal item".

Comments about Lowepro CompuDaypack:
I bought this bag so that I could use it for both photography and day-to-day use. I've found it to be virtually perfect, but with a few problems.
On the plus side, it's rugged (like most things made by Lowepro), and extremely comfortable. I love the design of the shoulder straps/handle, and how it's all 'one piece.' There's just enough room for a DSLR with lens attached, plus another lens, in the bottom compartment, a laptop/book/iPad in the back, and assorted stuff in the top/front part. Also, I like the shape of the backpack. When you set it down, you never have to worry about it tipping over, because it widens towards the bottom.
Negatives include lack of 'feet' on the bottom; only one zipper on top/front part; and just enough space in bottom for camera...depending on your camera/lens setup, you may find it lacking. Also, it would be nice to have a little more weather sealing. In a heavy rain, I'd be concerned about water getting through.
Altogether, a pretty amazing backpack!

Comments about Lowepro CompuDaypack:
I use the CompuDaypack almost everyday busing or biking to the university. It holds my laptop, papers, pens, notebook, a small rangefinder outfit and my (empty) steel coffee mug in one of the camera compartments. I have also taken it to Europe last year with a 50-year old twin lens camera next to the rangefinder outit.
I used the first green one for 3 years when the zipper on the top accessories compartment gave out. Contacted Lowepro about it and submitted photos of the damage and they replaced it for free with the current gray one. Nice warranty & communication!
Things I would like to see improved on this pack: stronger two-way zipper on the accessories compartment; 4 D-rings sewed into the rear corners of the pack so one can attach a tripod or a hip belt; water bottle net on one side; rubberized bottom and little spacer feet so you can set the pack into wet grass or dirt (why do only European camera bags have this?).
