Digital camera reviews of Lowepro Fastpack 250 (Arctic Blue)

Digital camera Review: A good bag that could be great
Summary: 4 Stars

When I travel I always carry a camera, laptop, and other stuff so this bag fit's the bill nicely. It unzips quickly and the side access works well to get a quick shot off. I also like that it doesn't unzip ALL the way so my lenses and charger don't spill out. The vertical zip pocket on the top gets the most use for frequently used stuff. It's roomy enough for lots of stuff, but not too bulky, and the laptop compartment is rigid enough for good protection, but still comfortable on the back.

I would have given it 5 stars if it wasn't for 1 thing: the camera compartment isn't designed very well. This could be fixed easily if the velcro which hold the dividers covered more area on the sides of the camera compartment so that you could move the dividers to the proper spacing. You see, the dividers are removable, but you can't move them side to side to change the spacing more than a quarter of an inch. So what you see is what you get for the photo compartment, and what you get is not right. I have a Canon T2i, and the space for it is WAY to big. Even if you had a Mark IV with a 400 mm lens, the space is too big for it. So my little T2i flops around quite a bit, which is not good. It also wastes so much space, that if I were allowed to rezise the compartment, I could fit at least 2 more lenses in there. Right now I can fit 2 lenses perfectly, and a 3rd lens where it flops around in a space which is too big.

If you buy this bag, bring some extra socks to you can pad your camera and lenses. Just hope they don't fall out when you pull out the camera for a quick shot.

Summary of Lowepro Fastpack 250 (Arctic Blue)

On streets or trails, you can shoot all day when you wear the lightweight, comfortable Fastpack 250 backpack by Lowepro. It protects a digital SLR with an 18-55mm or 17-85mm kit lens attached, plus 15.4" Widescreen notebook, and extra storage for 2-3 additional 105mm f/2.8, 18-200mm f/3.5, or 70-300mm f/4.5 lenses, flash, and other personal accessories. You won't miss a shot, because side-entry compartments let you grab equipment and accessories, even while you're on the move or without taking the backpack completely off! Customize the easy-to-access main compartment with adjustable dividers, use the outer organizer to keep larger accessories handy, and manage memory cards with a built-in pocket. Brethable, contoured shoulder straps distribute weight evenly.
