Digital camera reviews of Lowepro CompuDaypack Camera Bag (Slate)
Digital camera Review: Best Backpack I've Ever Owned - Nearly Perfect.
Summary: 5 Stars
This bag has absolutely superior build quality. I use it for travel and for daily treks to work and it looks as new as the day I bought it almost two years ago, even with near daily abuse in all kinds of weather conditions.
For being relatively compact, it holds a lot of gear in very smartly arranged pockets and compartments. The compact factor is a huge plus as it will actually fit under the seat in front of you on most commercial aircraft! Tons of pockets and compartments so everything has it's own place and keeps everything nice and organized. Even with all your camera gear packed up, it is still big enough to swallow a 17" notebook computer. Just be sure to remove the extra padded insert at the bottom of the note book area to ensure proper fit of larger laptops.
My only MAJOR gripe about this back pack is that the front pocket only has ONE zipper, so you have to open it from the side and risk things falling out. Would have been better with two pulls so you could open just the top to retrieve items without opening the entire compartment. In a bag this well designed, I simply can't believe that was overlooked.
And one final note... do not expect to be able to tote your big DSLR with a big lens attached in the bottom compartment. There is, however, plenty of space for a DSLR with a smaller walkabout lens attached and two additional larger lenses. I use a Canon 30D and have no problems fitting all the gear I need. 3 Lenses (1 smaller one attached to the camera and two extras on the sides), charger, extra battery, extra memory cards, card reader and cables. Leave one extra lens at home and you've got room for a nice big external flash.
Lastly, the most impressive thing about this bag is that it looks like a fairly standard back pack. It doesn't look big enough to hold DSLR camera gear, nor is it apparent that it might be hiding your 17" MacBook Pro. Given it's size, it doesn't draw any attention to itself or the thousands of dollars of gear you're probably toting with you.
All in all, no other bag on the market is built as well as this one if you need to haul both camera and computer gear with you on a regular basis.
Highly recommended.
Summary of Lowepro CompuDaypack Camera Bag (Slate)
Perfect for around campus or around town, the CompuDaypack is a lightweight yet spacious backpack. Its triple compartment design neatly manages the key components of digital photography with a rear compartment for a notebook computer (fits most 17 models) and files, and a lower compartment that accommodates a digital SLR with lens attached (up to a 105mm f/2.8), plus 2-3 additional lenses or flash units. The upper compartment holds personal accessories and cables. Tuck an MP3 player into the quick access front pocket, thread the headphones through the unique headphone port and listen to your favorite music even on the go.Cases & Bags
