Digital camera reviews of Lowepro Fastpack 250 (Red)
Digital camera Review: Great backpack for lots of camera gear, laptop, and more
Summary: 4 Stars
The side-entry feature works very well for quick access to your camera. Other items are less easily accessible, as they require opening the flap a bit farther, but still can be done without taking the pack off to set it down.
I carry a Canon XSi body with 24-105 f/4L mounted, lens hood, EF-S 18-55, and EF-S 55-250 in the bottom section, and filters, a mid-size Rocket Blower, and a small pop-up flash diffuser in the top, with a LOT of room left over. This backpack is rather large.
The pack worked well for a day at the amusement park with the kids. I could carry the gear above plus a water bottle in the outside mesh pocket, assorted snacks, and a few sweatshirts. I could fold an adult sweatshirt flat and put it in the laptop section, and two kids sweatshirts went into the top part.
The pocket for a cell phone or MP3 player is on the small side, but did barely hold my plain-vanilla phone -- an iPhone or Blackberry would definitely not fit.
Overall, a great camera pack for carrying a lot of gear, plus a bunch of other things. For carrying only the camera stuff, I much prefer my Lowepro Slingshot 100 since it is far less bulky and (just barely) fits everything in.
Summary of Lowepro Fastpack 250 (Red)
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.Accessories
