Digital camera reviews of Kata R-103 GDC Rucksack
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: Great bag functional, comfortable, practical.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great bag, I have a Canon 20D with battery grip, 70-200mm F/2.8, 12-24mm f/4, 28-105mm, 35mm, 50mm, card reader, macbook pro 15", bag of 24 AA batteries, canon 430ex flash, 250gb external drive, note pads, extension tubes, pens, and the power cord for the laptop in the bag. Other than being heavy, the bag fits comfortably, and rides on my scooter with me. Other than needing an extra divider or two, this is a great bag. Comes with nice camera strap, tripod carry strap, and several little pull tight bags that can stick to the inside with Velcro.Digital camera Review: Great bag and manufacturer's service
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this bag for bird photography. Tight but sufficient. I also like the way you can attach the camera to the straps.
Mine had a bit of a problem and I wrote to the seller (Adorama) and never got a response. But I wrote to Kata at the same time and got a response and they resolved my complaint that surpassed my expectation.
Kudos, Kata!
Digital camera Review: Amazing Backpack
Summary: 5 Stars
The back pack is sturdy and feels comfortable even with heavy weight. There are enough compartments to keep your stuff. It holds my Nikon 300mmF4 attached to D80 easily. I think I can squeeze the same setup with a 1.4 tele converter too. The mesh pouch is good to keep all the filters. I would surely recommend to a friend. Digital camera Review: Ginormous - but great quality
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me start off with the fact that I am a newbie to the (D)SLR world. Initially I bought a small camera bag for my Pentax K10D, but I quickly realized I would need something bigger and better to protect my every expanding hobby.
After pouring over reviews, I decided on the Kata R-103 GDC Rucksack. Mainly because I wanted something comfortable that would be very good at protecting my equiptment (I tend to bang things around.) I had read several women who were, shall we say "blessed in the front", complain about other bags. There were a few that recommended this one and since I am short and equally blessed, I decided to go for it.
I am happy to report that there is no odd strain on the girls when wearing this backpack around the house. Will post an update after I take a test run on a day hike. Additionally, I am estactic to learn that my large 17" Toshiba fits nicely in the back. Initially I didn't even consider that my laptop would be an option to transport given its larger size.
Oddly enough the protection factor that drew me to this bag, also shocked me with its size. The thing is GINORMOUS. Okay, maybe the fact that I'm a little girl that has never worn a really big backpack has something to do with it - but wow. The bulk of this backpack seem to be tons of padding, shock absorbers, et al. Hopefully I will get used to the size, but I am definately going to need to consider buying a small model for quick morning hikes. Again, I will take a test hike with this beast this weekend and update the review accordingly. Currently my wanderlust dreams of international travel with my gear is quickly being depleted with the realization that I won't be able to fit anything else with my backpack. Oh well, at least I will have a built in pillow.
But in all seriousness - this is what I have stuffed in this beast with tons of room to spare. My Pentax K10D, an additional add-on flash, kit lens, telephoto lens, a 50mm fixed lens, my 17" laptop, the large free padded camera strap that KATA gives you free with this purchase, a small handheld camcorder, and a bunch of other small and tiny things. Oh yeah, and some straps and a tripod carrier that attached to the back when you are carrying a tripod. I could easily fit another lens or two. If I slip and fall, there is so much padding in this monster, I am fairly certain that the only thing that will get hurt is my arse. And that's only if I am unlucky enough to not fall on the backpack.
