Hama Track Pack II Photo Rucksack Rucksack Camera

Advantages: Lightweight, Very Comfortable, Airline Compliant
Disadvantages: Not the Prettiest thing

...Let me just say before you read this, that this product is only going to be of interest to people who have a fair amount of camera kit based on an SLR, Medium Format, or large Camcorder. It is not really a general use backpack, although you could use it as that, since it's weatherproof, light, strong, very confortable and very well padded, but it's most likely overkill unless you are carrying precious cargo. Now that i own a camera body, three lenses i take everywhere, extension tubes, a large Flash, a photo viewer/Hard drive, memory cards, filters etc, i needed somewhere to put it all safely when i go off trekking to take photographs. After doing some research, my decision lay between the Lowepro Mini-Trekker AW (an excellent bag also) and this, the tamrac Expedition 5. Both are small enough that you will have no problems taking... Read review

Advantages: waterproof, thermal bottle and food compartments
Disadvantages: velcro on flap doesn't stick well, not enough pockets, straps cut in to you

...The things I found wonderful about this bag are: Waterproof, Thermal bottle compartment and thermal food compartment in the bottom The things that are not so good: -If you fill the bag up then the velcro on the flap just will not stay stuck down when you pick it up by the top handle. -It is not very easy to find things in as it is just like throwing everything in a sack!

I now use it as a bag for muslins and spare clothes and toys if I am going somewhere for the day and the thermal bottle warmer makes a great... Read review

Advantages: Very comfy, ample space for lenses, room for personal effects
Disadvantages: Not laptop-suitable, fabric absorbs liquids too easily

... - INTRODUCTION - I'd wanted a bigger bag, a step-up from the previous bag I had which was a lowepro, which had the bare capacity to carry one camera body and a small lens. My 18-55mm lens with its body struggled to fit, I'd worry that if I pushed it in too hard, the lens would snap. Thankfully it never happened. It was awkward to use it so I was more willingly to pay for this bag. - THE BAG ITSELF - Most of the camera backpacks that I researched had spaces entirely for the camera body, lenses, filters, batteries and other accessories for camera. The most important aspect of the bag was missing in most camera bag which was personal space for drink, food and such. This bag is split into 2 compartments; a reasonably sized top part for the personal effects- drinks, food or maps. It is suitably padded to ensure... Read review
