Digital camera reviews of Lowepro Outback 300 AW Camera Backpack (Black)
Digital camera Review: A pain to carry around
Summary: 2 Stars
This bag sounds really good on paper. Readily accessible pro-body camera with 80-200 attached with plenty of space for lenses and flash, 2 sliplock cases and a AW cover.
When fully loaded, I managed to carry a D3 with 50mm 1.2, D300s with lens removed, an 80-200 2.8, 105mm 2.8, 85mm 1.8, 35mm 1.8, 11-16mm Tokina 2.8, SB-800 flash, SC-29 cable and another 50mm 1.4.
It is really too big to be comfortably used as a waist bag, you MUST use the supplied shoulder strap. It will also give your shoulder lots of abuse.
The all weather cover is unusable with the shoulder strap attached. And the bag will fall below your waist from the weight without the shoulder strap.
The sliplock cases provided are of horrible quality. If you do not put anything inside, the straps that hold them in place will crush them into wrinkled foam. And if you remove them from the bag, you are left with 2 ugly flaps that are too big to be hidden in the slots provided.
The top flap that provides access to all your gear is hard to open, your body and the shoulder strap gets in the way. This is good for security but goes against "easily accessible" toploader functions.
This bag is clumsy, and seems to be trying too hard to do what a $100 bag should be able to do.
