Comments about Tamrac 3445 Rally 5 Camera/Netbook/iPad Bag (Brown with Tan):
I was looking for a good camera bag that is not overbearing for a petite person like myself. I have bags are just too big and with the gear, it is too heavy. This one is just perfect for my DSLR and two extra lenses or one extra lens and flash. But if I load the two extra lens, then it becomes a bit heavy for me. I can even add my iPad2 which could be great when I travel. And there is room for my wallet and other small items as well. This beats all the "manly" camera bags that I've had in the past. I just wish they come in more colors for us "female" photographers.

Comments about Tamrac 3445 Rally 5 Camera/Netbook/iPad Bag (Brown with Tan):
My usual bag is my Lowepro classified 250 AW. While this bag is great for weddings, it really wasnt a suitable day trip bag as the bag itself was too heavy. I picked myself up this Tamrac bag based on several criteria:
1. does it hold 2 bodies w/ lenses attached (Yes - I use it with 5d2 + 85mm 1.4 & 7D + 35mm 1.4. I am also able 2 fit 2 flashes and my Black Rapid RS-7 in the bag as well)
2. will it hold some sort of laptop/ tablet (it is able to fit my 11" macbook Air
3. is it light (I have used the bag for an entire day with the gear mentioned above and forgot that it was there at some points)
4. does the camera bag scream look like a camera bag (the bag doesn't scream out - steal me I have $1000s of dollars of gear inside - it is not shaped like camera bag)
5. can i wear this bag all day without killing my shoulder (yes - it is very comfortable)
Negatives - doesn't have an all weather cover like the Lowepro but I've had it in a light storm and my gear was still dry inside.

Comments about Tamrac 3445 Rally 5 Camera/Netbook/iPad Bag (Brown with Tan):
This little bag is perfect for my iPad and my digital SLR. Traveling, I loaded my Canon 60D with a Tamron 18-270mm attached, put a 50 mm f1.8 and a Canon 420 EX Flash in as well. Still room for my iPod, connection accessories, and my iPad. Light weight, perfect for travel.
I have owned four Tamrac Bags and one LowePro. The latch on this one is by far the worst of any bag I have owned. Not a deal breaker, but it is aggravating.
Also, since the bag is so small, it can be slipped away and easily hidden by thieves in an airport. Mine was gone, with everything in it, and someone was watching it. Keep in on your person at all times when in public places and airports.

Comments about Tamrac 3445 Rally 5 Camera/Netbook/iPad Bag (Brown with Tan):
I bought a Tamrac Rally 5 to take with me on an upcoming trip. I wanted a small bag that would allow me to take my Nikon D7000 with battery grip, a couple of lenses, 11" Macbook Air, and an external hard drive. The Rally 5 fit the bill perfectly. I even have room to spare.
The only complaint I have (and it is a minor one) is that the plastic buckle can be a little difficult to close securely when you're wearing the bag. Otherwise the bag is great.

I purchased this product as a fit all bag to get all of my camera gear to a conference in Austin, Texas next week. I am glad to say that I was able to fit two lenses, one full size digital camera body, one HD Digital video camera AND my Bose stereo headphones to keep my sanity while inflight.

Comments about Tamrac 3445 Rally 5 Camera/Netbook/iPad Bag (Brown with Tan):
I needed a bag for my DSLR, several lens, a flash unit, plus assorted cables, chargers and batteries. After spending time looking at every bag in the store around the $60 price point, I chose this bag for its overall quality and usefulness. The only change I would make is to have the outside pocket a little larger to accomodate a water bottle.
