Digital camera reviews of Lowepro Stealth Reporter D650 AW Camera Bag

Digital camera Review: A good storage and transport bag
Summary: 5 Stars

I started out four years ago with a photo style backpack where all the other newspaper guys used shoulder bags and that always made me think do they know something I don't know. My main gripe with my back pack was that I had to take it off and set it on the ground to change camera components which was very time consuming and inconvenient. Jump in time to where I am now. I no longer work in the news field and now work on my own as a freelance photographer where I started doing architectural related contract work. In short my backpack carried over to my new job because it held my lenses but just did not fit the bill with usability. Of course I had to buy an additional hard case style cargo container to carry all the additional gear but having my lenses and flash on or near me is important. Anyways the final straw that broke my trust in the backpack was when my main zipper started acting up which meant it was time to start with something new. My 70-200 fell out of the backpack and onto the concrete just before I got this bag but that's another story. Anyways, started shopping around but nothing caught me eye until I saw this bag. Let me tell you the Stealth Reporter D650 AW bag is big where now that I've seen it I don't think I'd really strap it around my shoulder for an all day, out in the field photo assignment but I could if needed. The main reason I bought a bag like this was so that it could carry the majority of my essential camera gear around where I'd be able to make camera body, lens and flash changes and not be worried about having to set something on the ground or a table like surface and not be protected. The bag is made well and its design has the photographer in mind. Everything seems to be made extra tough like the zippers, bag material, metal strap rings and the main latch in front. I really like how Lowepro adds the extra strap so that you can use it to stabilize the load of the bag by placing it around your waist. I actually rode my sportbike with this bag on and the added strap really helped make this possible. Another aspect that made this bag a great purchase was that I already owned two additional padded lens bags made by Lowepro with the sliplock attachment system but they just ended up barely been used and were stored away in my closet until now. I pulled them out and attached them to this bag as there are specific places to add these types of accessories. This bag for my needs could even be a slight bit bigger as I'm having to add gear constantly where I use all this stuff all the time.

What I have in my bag:
1. 5D2 body
2. 50D body w batt grip
3. 70-200mm w/lens hood
4. 15mm fisheye
5. 100 IS macro w/lens hood
4. 16-35mm lens hood stored separately
5. and my extra nice Powerex NiMH battery charger which is large
6. laptop
7. also holds all the other stuff like filters, camera chargers, cables, gels and such


In closing this is a nice product offered by Lowepro. I like to read the professional reviews from others when I purchase/research items so maybe this review will help someone to determine if this is the right bag for their needs.
