Comments about Tamrac 3445 Rally 5 Camera/Netbook/iPad Bag (Black):
I chose this bag to house my new DSLR camera, lens and accessories...in part because I wanted a bag that didn't look like a camera bag....and this seemed to fit the bill.
And it does...although in person it looks more like a camera bag...and less like a messenger bag than I'd hoped based on the photos and description.
The construction is solid...the internal compartments are well padded...and very adjustable. The bag easily and safely accommodates a wide variety of equipment configurations...and has a dedicated spot for my iPad.
My biggest call out would be the flap style top. I wish they had gone w/ a flat zippered top as opposed to the flap style...the zippered top makes gear easier to access and it's more consistent w/ the messenger bag aesthetic they're going for.
The cumbersome nature of the top is (somewhat) offset by the two external pockets which can store things you may want/need to grab quickly (batteries, filters, SD cards etc.).
All in all...it's a well made bag, no real complaints....I'm sure I'll get years of use out of it.

Comments about Tamrac 3445 Rally 5 Camera/Netbook/iPad Bag (Black):
This camera bag fits everything the photo enthusiast / semi professional could ever want. The configurable pockets can fit compact zooms and primes or 'professional' zooms (i.e. f/2.8 lenses).
My Rally 5 holds a Nikon D7000, Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 HSM II, Nikon 35mm f/1.8G, Nikon 50mm f/1.8D, BlackRapid RS-7, and Nikon 18-105mm kit lens that came with the camera (and is always attached to the camera when stowed). You could mix things up by taking out one of the smaller pockets (which are lined up with Velcro strips) and put a flash in instead. The front compartment is good for holding the smaller things, such as a battery charger, spare batteries, phones, etc. And, should you have an iPad, you can store a portable portfolio (your iPad) or hard-copy portfolio in the pocket.
There are a few cons to the Rally 5, one in particular that is a pet-peeve. Above the front buckle (as seen in the photos) is a patch of Velcro that drives me insane. I like to take candid street photos and cannot afford to hear the loud tear of Velcro when I'm trying to be discrete and stealthy. This can be temporarily-fixed with a bigger patch of black duct tape, but it was a disappointment to see when I unboxed the bag. Accessing my small prime lenses (which are tucked away in the bottom of the bag) is a difficult task, based on how the bag was built to organize things. If you don't own/use primes too often, you should be all set. Additionally, my D7000 barely fits into the bag. If you have a full-frame DSLR, you should consider another bag.
Final Thoughts: In spite of the Velcro and having to dig for my fast prime lenses, this case gets the job done. It carries everything I need in one convenient package. It loses a star for the mildly annoying organization system and the Velcro (but mostly the former). If you have a fair amount of gear or are looking for a street-shooting / lightweight transportation bag, the Rally 5 is what you want.

Comments about Tamrac 3445 Rally 5 Camera/Netbook/iPad Bag (Black):
This bag is an answered prayer for those of us who have searched for a small bag that will hold essentials and an iPad. Perfect for travel and an excellent bag for a day out shooting where a full kit is not necessary. I can easily load my Canon 7D with 24-105mm attached, 100-400mm, additional lens or 580EXII and iPad. Also plenty of room in front pocket for memory cards, batteries, iPhone and such. I have had this bag for a few months now and I carry it far more than any other bag I own. Very easy to access bag contents while still on shoulder, that's important to me. I mostly wear this bag cross shoulder and it wears well, very steady. I can't utilize a battery grip with my DSLR but that has not been an issue to date as I am traveling light when opting for this bag over my others.
