Digital camera reviews of Kata R-103 GDC Rucksack
Digital camera Review: Amazing solid bag!
Summary: 5 Stars
Not much I can add that has not already been said about this bag. It very well built and surprisingly comfortable fully loaded (see my pics).Digital camera Review: Awesome backpack to portect my investment!
Summary: 5 Stars
I would have to say that the R-103 is amazingly awesome for my needs. I love to travel and I wanted a backpack which also carried my 15" Mac Book Pro along with my Canon DSLR, lenses, and all other accessories. Plus it also has enough space for my Canon HV-30 camcorder. I am definitely without a doubt completely satisfied with KATA brand bags and would not even consider purchasing anything else.
If your looking for a backpack that's well padded, well designed, and most importantly comfortable then look no further. For anyone that wants great protection for your investments, I highly recommend KATA!!!
Digital camera Review: Awesome backpack! Comfortable, Cheap, holds a lot
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for a good backpack that'll protect all of my shooting gear as well as my 15" Vaio laptop. I tried several backpacks from different manufacturer, but nothing protects like Kata R-103.
This backpack is not too big but has enough space for 2 DSLRs, 1 flash, 3-4 lenses including one fast 70-200 lens, some lens filters, 1 rocket blower, etc. It comes with a nice neck strap that has built in pockets for 1 CF card and 2 AA batteries. As a bonus the backpack can hold a tripod too.
I guess when fully loaded (with laptop), it becomes too heavy for hiking or roaming around. Without laptop, it's the most comfortable backpack I have ever used.
The rain cover is nice, protects from rain/heat. Build wise, it's very sturdy and well padded (I think it has best padding).
Interior color is yellow, great for finding things in almost total darkness (I encountered such a situation while shooting a fireworks show)
I definitely recommend this backpack to all who need a safe, comfortable, sturdy medium size backpack. Kata products are great.
Digital camera Review: Best backpack I ever had
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great rucksack. I look forward to filling it up more. Beautifully fits my Canon Digital Rebel EOS 300D, a huge LaCie d2 500GB Quadra Hard Drive (won't have this with me all the time), a Apple MacBook Pro MA895LL/A 15" Laptop (2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM, 120 GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD SuperDrive), an external 2.5" hard drive, an iPod photo, and any cables/power bricks that come with the above products. It will also fit an additional lens or two.
pros: lots of room, adjustable compartments, great attachable pouches to fit cables etc., separate padded laptop compartment, extremely comfortable on my back, comes with rain cover, comes with camera strap that attaches to bag (not sure if I will use this unless I get a really heavy lens), tripod carrier, easy access to camera through zippered flap on the back.
cons: slightly on the heavy side, only two fairly small external pockets, some might find the zippers hard to open (these are solid and robust zippers which I view as a sign of quality. They really aren't a problem if you operate the zippers using the attached chords)
I have no problem giving this bag 5 stars. The cons really aren't a problem with my use. Weight might become an issue if going on long hikes.
Digital camera Review: Best camera bag I've ever owned!
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this bag and was very impressed with it. I'm in the military and I travel a lot and love to take my cameras with me. It's made tough and virtually indestructable. It's got plenty of room for both my cameras and all my lens. This bag will be going all over the world with me and I can't wait. It's exactly what I've been looking for.
As far as the zippers being stiff. I just took a Q tip and dipped it in some vegetable oil and ran it over the zippers and it's smooth sailing. It will get even smoother with use. I'm very pleased and would buy from this company again.
