Lowepro Pro Trekker 600 AW Camera Backpack (Mica/Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Pro Trekker 600 AW is a outstanding product. From the structure of the pack to all it's fundamentals, this pack will get you where you need to go. For years I have been searching for the "perfect pack" as many as you surly have, and I have spend some money creating custom bags to suit my needs doing photo backpacking trips and events. I researched this bag very carefully and really studied all the features Lowepro created. The outside material holds up amazing in extreme weather conditions which include rain, snow and sand.
The outside pouches hold plenty or accessories and small item equipment like keys, wallets, phones ect.. and have plenty of room for your tripods. The inside space is amazing. Inside my pack I carry:
Canon 1D Mark III
Canon 1D Mark IV
Canon 70-200mm f/2.8
Canon 50mm f/1.2
Canon 16-35 f/2.8
Canon 15mm f/2.8 fisheye

200gb pocket hard-drive
Gitzo Tripod

This bag still has plenty of room for food, extra clothing and supplies! The 600 AW is rather large and bulky but when you put it on your back the comfort is a 10 out of 10! Extremely comfortable! I have taken this pack with me on multiple trips; hiking, climbing, on long motocross trail rides, you name it. The support you get from this pack is awesome! I found this link to the product video which really helped me decide to go ahead and purchase this. Check out [...]
I hope my "2 cents" mattered and you get the most out of this product as I did. Thank you Lowepro!

Lowepro 35091 Primus AW Premium Backpack (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Primus AW is a nearly perfect multi-purpose camera backpack. I've been looking for a backpack that could hold a reasonable amount of photography and non-photography gear for several years, and this is the first I've found that manages get the balance just right. It has many things to like about it and only a few minor flaws.
The photography gear section is at the bottom of the bag. It is able to hold a professional body with a 70-200mm lens attached (but without the hood), along with a couple of other lenses and a flash. For most of my day trips, this is plenty of gear. The padding in this area is quite sufficient and there are dividers that can be arranged to partition the gear however you like. Access to the camera gear is through the back of the backpack, which helps prevent theft and allows you to get the gear out without getting the part of the bag that touches your back dirty. The photography section can also be accessed by a side panel that allows easy removal of the camera. While this works great for a regular-sized camera, my Rebel XTi with the battery grip on doesn't fit through the opening easily. I wish they would have made this access panel a bit bigger to accommodate the bodies with grips.
The upper compartment is a slightly padded area that can hold a lot of non-photography gear. I packed a first aid kit, food, maps, and a GorillaPod table-tripod in it and still had room to spare. On the front of the bag is a sort of half-open expandable area that is perfect for holding a jacket, books, or other items. It can even hold a small notebook computer. The outermost part of the bag has a tripod attachment that also worked great for trekking poles. Underneath the bag is the storage for the attached all-weather cover, should it begin to rain. Finally, on the side of the bag is an expandable pocket for a water bottle.
There are very few downsides to the bag. The first is the already-mentioned size of the side-access panel. This won't be a problem for most people that don't own cameras with grips. The second downside to the bag is that it only comes in one size. The bag is slightly short for my torso. It would have been great if they offered these in different sizes like camping backpack makers do. For me, an extra inch would have been great, allowing me to put more of the load onto my hips. The final negative that I have encountered is that there are no SlipLock attachments on the bag. I have a few accessory attachments that I use with my other Lowepro bags and they won't work with this bag.
Overall, if you're an average sized person who wants a bag to carry around for a day hike through the park or while touring a city, this bag is a wonderful choice. I have other bags for other purposes, but I can see this being my go-to bag for most occasions.

Lowepro Luxe Camera Case (Eggplant) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great little camera case! It's the perfect size for my Nikon S220 digital camera. The satin microfiber lining is a perfect match for my plum color camera. It is sturdy and protective, such a nice quality leather case that it can double as a wristlet for a night out with the girls. I can slip a credit card and some cash in it and go. A while ago I had my camera stolen and it was in this case. It took me a while to find another one but I was so pleased with it that another brand would not do. Well, I found it and I am happy again. I always get compliments on my pink leather camera case and people ask where I bought it because it is so different from most of the nylon and soft leather cases in regular stores.
If your camera will fit inside, I definitely recommend it!

Lowepro Apex 100 AW (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Mark Tapungot is right - this bag is bombproof, as all LowePro bags I have ever bought are. They just make a great product. This bag is the perfect bag for a Canon G7/G9, especially if you have the LensMate or Canon conversion adapter installed. It fits my G9 with LensMate adapter, filter & lens cap + a filter case for a polarizer, small cleaning kit, 2 extra batteries, and extra memory card like a glove. Absolutely perfect. The belt loop fits nicely on my backpack & waistpack belts. Note that this bag is not big enough to store additional conversion lenses like teles, wides or macros. If you have additional lens add-ons beyond the conversion adapter & a couple filters, check out one of the bigger Apex bags like the Apex 120.

Lowepro Primus Minimus All Weather Backpack (Arctic Blue) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)i have this backpack, and use to carry my nikon d80. as of yet, only have 1 18-70 lens, and seems enough to one or two more. don't do hiking, just walk arround the city, but i have lots of non-photographic material. tried the kata 3n1-10 and 20, but they are small for that material, tough they do have better inner organization pouches. and so far these are the pros and cons:
pros:
- all the fabric seems of very good quality
- there is enough room for camera and even more for non-photographic material
- i have 1.6 m. for me, it has the perfect ergonomy. heard that taller people have some trouble with it
- good padding all-over. i feel 1 could play soccer, with the camera now. i don't think i will though
- side access to camera compartiment
- didn't test the rain cover, but it's usefullness seems prety obvious
cons:
- the side access is good enough for my camera. but a biger one, or mine with a grip, wont came out
- altough the straps improve the ergonomy, they get in the way to the access of the top compartiment
- asside from 2 useless zipper inner pouches (because the zipper is much smaller than pouch), there are absolutely no inner puches. kata 3n1 seems much better at this.
- if the fabric is waterproof, probably means the rain cover should only come off in very heavy rain. But then why is the 3o outter compartiment exposed to the wather?. if i leave it empty, the stuff inside the backpack will be ok, but that will be filled with water or dust, acumulated on the bottom. if i use it for a jacket, it will become dirty for those reasons. it would be much better of with just straps. and i don't want to use the rain cover all the time
- the outter pouches are also very sparce. for any kind of backpack, even more a protographic one, this is a bugger
- the straps one that very same flap seem to have a weaker stiching, just to the edge of the fabric. they are unlikely fragile
all in all, seems the best backpack from lowepro. almost regret to not have kept the kata. only saw the cons after using a while, and can't return it

AmazonBasics Leather Camera Case for Digital Cameras (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I pulled this little camera case out of its box, I immediately thought it was going to be too small for my Fujifilm FinePix Z700EXR camera, but it fit perfectly! This is a sturdy, classy, soft-leather case with soft grey suede inside. The little inside pocket for carrying an extra battery is tight and out of the way; I'll probably use it to put identification inside in case I ever leave the camera lying on a table somewhere. With my camera's side strap sticking out of one side (which I prefer to running it through the top hole because access is quicker), it's like a little mini-purse. The cutout in the top happens to be right over the USB cable port on my camera, so if I had to (but I probably won't), I could run the USB cable to it without removing the camera from its case. Another thing I could do if I wanted to is use that little hole to loop an ID tag or small ID/credit card holder through using one of those beaded lamp-pull type thingies. Then I really could travel light.
Little things mean a lot to me, and I have to say I just love the magnetic clasp underneath the low-key silverish AmazonBasics logo on the front of the case. The magnet is not so strong as to be annoyingly hard to pull apart, but it's strong enough to do the job without slipping. The little circular magnetic piece in the clasp has a small center button that fits into a recession in the other part of the clasp; when closing the cover, you hear a satisfying little click when you slide it into place, so you know it's snugly closed.
I was thinking when I got this (not paying great attention) that the holder "clip" on the back was actually a clip suitable for clipping to the edge of your pants or a coat pocket, but it's not. It's actually better than that, because we all know how quickly those clips break off our cell phones. This one closes with strong velcro so you can loop it through a belt loop or other strap or onto a belt. The part of the holder that does not have velcro on it is not quite an inch wide, though, so it wouldn't work as well with wider belts. With the camera in it, it would be too heavy (at least for me) to want to wear around your neck, but you could definitely put it on a lanyard if you wanted to—and then perhaps stick it in a breast pocket so it's not dangling. One nice thing about the velcro is that, even though it is sewn on very well, part of the piece that is sewn to the camera case actually lifts up as you pull the velcro apart. This should extend the life of the case because you're not pulling against case stitching when you're trying to get it apart. This is not wimpy velcro, so you have to tug a bit to get it open.
I really like it!

Tamrac 5788 Evolution 8 Photo/Laptop Sling Backpack Bag (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I already own a Tamrac Expedition and a Lowepro sling bag. The sling is good for short trips when I want to go light but the single strap can get uncomfortable after awhile. The Expedition holds a lot but access is not as easy- you have to take the bag off. What I like best about the Evolution is the triple access- front and both sides. You can set it up so the camera is accessed on one side and the lenses on the other. And you can use the bag like a backpack for long term comfort or a sling for shorter outings. Even with the Lowe sling getting my camera (Nikon 300D with zoom) out requires a little contortion, but the SLR is right there with the Evolution. It really combines the best features of both bags and has plenty of storage. I will probably get rid of the Expedition and continue to use the sling for quick outings and the Evolution for day trips and my major trip/shooting bag, especially because it has the tripod pocket and the extra storage. Build quality is good and the extra pockets all over the bag are well thought out and enable rational storage of needed items. This bag is really the most versatile I have seen as an all around bag for short hikes and long trips.

Lowepro Outback 100 Camera Beltpack (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It is the most comfortable holster bag I have so far. I also owned Off Trail 1 & 2 and a LowePro TLZ Mini. I would have given it a 5 stars rating if the Outback's Side pockets (lens case) are interchangable with the older lens cases. The slip pockets for the lens case are smaller than in the Off Trails bags. And the lens case that came with the Outback 100 is too short for a flash. And there is only two tiny pockets for memory cards, there is no pockets for your polarizers, batteries and other little things you want to bring along.
To solve the problem, I hang one of the old lens case (for my flash) over the belt secured only by the velcro, and one of the case for my 17-35 lens (this barely fits) and the other lens case for my accessories. The camera compartment also has a little extra space. The whole set up weigh about 10lbs and I could walk around pretty well. If you like holster bags and don't need a lot of gear, you should check this one out.

Lowepro Magnum DV 6500 AW Shoulder Bag (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is definitely a high end camera bag. Great quality construction, all sorts of features. Most of my various bags do not have this kind of high end quality (but they are also alot cheaper).
This bag is big. I don't have that much camera equipment so ultimately this bag is too big for my needs...but if I get the photography bug I am ready. If you do have tons of camera equipment and are looking for a high quality bag then this will fit your needs nicely.

Lowepro's Magnum 6500 DV AW shoulder bag series is designed for pro video and built on the foundation of its predecessor: the original pro bag designed in 1976 and an industry standard to this day. Think of Magnum DV AW as the essential toolbox for the videographer who needs to work right out of the bag: it's super-accessible, configured for pro video, portable and protective. The internal dividing system features a long main compartment with a flexible structure to fit a variety of uniquely shaped equipment-from a video camera and microphones, to lighting devices and accessories. The interior base is crafted of durable, extra-thick padding to support and protect the metal baseplate at the bottom of a video camera. On the exterior, a premium molded base offers sturdy and stable protection, water-resistance and stackability. Carry the bag with the Vertebral Tech Shoulder Strap-it provides comfort and spreads weight evenly-no matter how it's worn.The Magnum 6500 DV AW also inlcudes a protective laptop compartment that fits up to a 15.4-Inch notebook.
