(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
Canon 580ex Flash
Canon 580exII Flash
Garry Fong Diffuser
Small Cap Diffuser
Two Batteries
Battery Charger w/ Solar Power Panel
25+/- AA Batteries
Flashlight
Camelback Blatter
10 various filters
Memory Cards
Flashcords and other corded accessories
15" MacbookPro
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 CompuPrimus All Weather Backpack (Arctic Blue) Review

Lowepro CompuPrimus All Weather Backpack (Arctic Blue)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Received the package and immediately tried to set up my gear. First thing I tried to do was use the handy side compartment. Much to my disappointment, my camera was not easily inserted and even more difficultly removed. I have a Canon 7D. One problem with this bag is the zipper does not unzip far enough. The zipper stops shy of 180 degrees leaving a lot of resistance with the flap. I didn't have my battery grip on at the time, but still had to take the bag completely off and fight to get the camera out. Now that I have my battery grip on, there is no chance of using this access (using this access compartment was the selling point). On top of the bad zipper design, one of the shoulder straps is also in the way. The computer bag was a tad too small for my laptop. I couldn't get it completely zipped without feeling like the zipper was going to detonate. Finally, it's big! Really big! It can't possibly be used as a carry-on. If this was tried to be carried onto an aircraft, I'm sure, because of the size, the airline would make you check it at the gate which would defeat the purpose. I know it wouldn't fit under a seat, and you would be lucky to get this giant bag in the largest overhead compartment.
For me, this bag is unusable in many ways.

Yes this is a good case, Yes with all the soft bits and zip pocket at the front with mesh divider.I first had a Ricoh Caplio R7 in this case, fine but a bit wide. Then I've bought a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1 the water/ shock proof one fits perfect, spare battery and card in front. Great construction. I use a small carabina to clip it on to my pack or trousers.

I use the bag for a Nikon D5000 with 55-200 and 18-55 lenses. All fit nicely along with spare batteries, filters and lens cleaner. With a flash unit or additional lenses get a larger size. Doesn't look like a stereotypical camera bag. I am very pleased.

Case Logic TBC-306 SLR Camera Holster (Black) Review

Case Logic TBC-306 SLR Camera Holster (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this when I had my Canon Digital Rebel XT about a month ago. Before I bought this, I had another case from another brand, which was getting old. So I looked into Case Logic because I've bought a lot of their products before and I know that its always quality stuff. This case was no exception. When I got it, it looked a lot smaller than I had expected (in a good way). It was definitely smaller than my previous case. I was worried at first that It would not fit my camera and kit lens (18-55mm) like my previous case. But to my surprise, it fit even better! It managed to store my camera with the kit lens on, the battery charger, body cap, data cable, memory card box and the case strap which I had not yet attached to the case. All of this fit very comfortably, and there is still room for a little more stuff. The little zipper compartment on the front flap of the case is still empty. Though to be honest, I don't see much fitting in there anyway. A memory card or two at the most. Maybe something flat. The only downside is that it does not fit my camera manual. It is a bit too big for the case. But I'm sure not everyone usually walks around with their manuals! I have a slight case of OCD, and I just like having everything to do with my camera in one place, you know?
Three days ago, I upgraded my DSLR to the Canon 20D. This camera also still fits in the case with the kit lens on. With this camera though, the fit is a lot more snug since the camera is a lot bigger than the XT. But it still fits, and closes as well as when I had the XT in there. So I am totally satisfied with it! Even if I upgrade to a bigger case, it will definitely be from Case Logic. The build quality is excellent. Soft and padded in the important areas, and slightly more stiff on the flap area. It has a very nice color scheme too. Highly recommended!
EDIT 1:
I've had this case for almost a year now, and I've cycled through DSLRs like nobodies business. So apart from the XT and the 20D I mentioned above, I've since used this case for a 30D and now a 40D (soon a 60D). All of them have fit ever so perfectly with no space for it to move around. I've taken this case with me to the beach, road trips, the Niagara Falls and other random places! So its safe to say that this case has been tested, and guess what. It looks BRAND new even today. This case is SUPERB.
EDIT 2:
So I bought my 60D! This camera fits even better than the 60D with the 18-55 IS lens on it! It's probably because of the fact that the 60D is a tad smaller. It is also a tad lighter, which makes it much nicer to carry with this case. Still an excellent case thats going strong!

Lowepro Luxe Camera Case (Light Teal) Review

Lowepro Luxe Camera Case (Light Teal)
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 35091 Primus AW Premium Backpack (Black) Review

Lowepro 35091 Primus AW Premium Backpack (Black)
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 Classified 250 AW Shoulder Bag (Black) Review

Lowepro Classified 250 AW Shoulder Bag (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First of all, this bag is pretty darn big. I plan on using it as a day bag for trips, but only because I'm the type of guy that travels with several lenses. It holds my Canon 7D body with five lenses, including the huge 70-200 2.8 IS. I'm also able to squeeze in an extra body in there if I need it. Of course, this will make the bag weigh a TON, but that's why you bought a big bag, right? I haven't even tried to stuff my laptop in there, for fear my shoulder will fall off.
The saving grace of the bag weight is the handle on top. It's such a nice feature that more bags should adopt. It's really nice to be able to grab the top of the bag by the handle when I need to shift positions for any reason (like getting in and out of seats or cars). It also helps for when I just want to pick the bag up off the floor and quickly move it somewhere. An A+ feature that more bags should have.
The other huge feature of this bag is the easy access top zipper. To many bags require me to open the whole flap to one side just to get at my equipment. The easy access top zipper makes lens swapping a breeze.
The only gripe (the reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5) I will give is the shoulder strap padding. I wish it was the type of pad that I could slide back and forth. Instead, the padding is in a fixed position. For a guy like me who is constantly shifting bags around to make them more comfortable, this is kind of annoying. That being said, the strap is perfectly usable, and I do use it.
All in all it's by far the most versatile bag I've found. I didn't even get to mention the fact that you can buy additional add-on accessories that will clip onto the sides of the bag (for stuff like filter and bottle holders). I actually plan on rigging one of the side-loops as a tripod holder (the only feature missing from this bag).
So, the bottom line--if your shoulder can handle it, you won't regret it.

Lowepro Primus Minimus All Weather Backpack (Black) Review

Lowepro Primus Minimus All Weather Backpack (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When I was looking for a camera bag I simply wanted something that I could hike around with and take on a plane. Not only does it work well in both of these situations I am also confident in traveling in crowded places with it since it is only accessible from the side facing your back. Its all weather cover has proven to come in handy while living in the rainy northwest as well. Something else that's really neat about this backpack is that it can be converted into a normal spacious backpack by removing all the partitions inside. As a side note the partitions feel really strong with a plastic backing inside. Another plus is the easy side access so you can grab your camera quickly.
Things that may bother some people is that it does have a lot of adjustable straps meaning there are a lot (15 or so) of loose straps everywhere. On the plus side to that it is the most comfortable backpack I have owned, but the straps are everywhere. Also the all weather cover is a tight fit and sort of hard to stuff back in its pouch. Lastly the adjustable tripod holder takes some muscle to move since it's a matter of pushing a Velcro system up and down, but you shouldn't have to move it more than once unless you have more than 1 tripod...or fishing pole like me :).
In conclusion if you are looking for a backpack that you can hike with, carry some extra gear, that's comfortable and secure, and of course able to pack a camera body and a couple of lenses this is the bag for you. Also, if your looking for more room they come in different sizes I think.
The bag fit all my needs and provided more than I was expecting so I gave it 5/5 stars.

Lowepro Classified 200 AW Shoulder Bag (Black) Review

Lowepro Classified 200 AW Shoulder Bag (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Bought this bag 2nd-hand in like new condition for $100. I use it to carry 40D+24-105 and 5D+ 100-400, and a Sigma 8mm fish or some little prime, or similar arrangement. This is one of the few bags that allow two body + two long zoom attached face down in the bag. So my choice is limited.
Pro:
- Extremely light weight for its capacity!
- Capacity to have 5D attached to big L zoom face down in the bag ready to shoot
- Looks like a cheap laptop bag
- Very reasonable price buying used
- Reasonably good quality
- Useful rain cover. I listed this as "useless" before and now after a trip to the snowy Lake Tahoe I changed my mind. This cover turned out to be really useful and effective. I ignored the light snow for a few minutes which almost killed my 5D camera. As the snow got heavier the bag starts to get dangerously wet and then I realized that I have this cover hidden inside the bag. It worked!
Neutral:
- Some cute but not so useful gimmicks in the bag - a rather large and bulky card folder (too large to be useful for me), a complicated (spells useless to me) body strap of some sort, two key links in the front pockets, two attached LCD wipes in the main divisions... I could do without any and all of these.
Con:
- Uncomfortable shoulder belt (immediately replaced with my own taken from a laptop bag)
- The top open zipper is of so-so quality, hard to open and close when the bag is loaded, must use both hands.
- The pockets in the front are hard to reach. The front flap is hard to open once locked.
- 5D+big zoom can fit in 1 of the 3 vertical partition but not easy to taking it out or putting back in.
Bottom line -
This bag does serve my purpose, but rather awkwardly with little elegance. The design was great but executed poorly. The original shoulder belt was designed for carrying on one shoulder only, which is odd considering the weight this bag is to carry. But the combination of stealth look, the extreme light weight (for its capacity), and the very reasonable price easily earn this bag a 4 star.
P.S. I've been using Tamrac System 6 and 12 in the past. Tamrac has far better shoulder belt, much easier access to the equipment (despite of the big top/front cover), and far more functional and accessible front and side pockets, even the zippers are better. But the Tamrac bags are simply not deep enough to carry big DSLR with big zoom mounted, which I love to do. I forced them in these bags in the past with a few close calls. Then the other day my 40D mounted with a Tamron 18-270VR (not even a big zoom) finally fell out from the bag with the front buckle still locked, damaged my lens. I have to switch to something deeper. So now I'll see how long the Lowepro will last.
After a few extended trip with this bag, I am happy with it. The zipper is not easy to work with, but I got used to it. With the camera+big lens in ready mode is really a big plus for this bag. It's pretty big, bigger than I originally thought. But not that heavy and not too wide like the System 12. So I can get around in a crowded elevator more easily.

Lowepro Outback 200 DSLR Modular Belt pack Camera Bag Kit with Camera Strap Review

Lowepro Outback 200 DSLR Modular Belt pack Camera Bag Kit with Camera Strap
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Fits my Canon XSi with Canon 300mm F/4 L Lens with 1.4 extender all attached, without the lens hood extended. With the hood extended I just leave the top of the compartment open, which is not a problem as I'm in shooting mode anyway and need quick access for wildlife. The side compartments hold other lenses that I might use while on the trail. Front compartment holds most other accessories that I need while out shooting.
This bag is very sturdy and well made. It is also comfortable enough to tote on fairly long hikes when fully loaded down. It gets a little cumbersome after a couple hours, but not intolerably so. No additional straps or harnesses seem to be necessary.
My only complaint is that the main compartment zip cover should have been equipped with a quick release latch and opened toward either the front or back instead of the side.
Highly recommend!

After looking everywhere, I found this case which is perfect for my new Canon SX210IS. It provides a hard molded exterior on both front and back and my camera fits perfectly, along with an extra battery and memory card. While it is larger than my case for my Fuji Finepix J10, it is still small enough to fit in my purse. I purchased a soft case with the camera, but it did not offer any storage for extras and I did not feel it was safe enough to protect my camera while in my purse.

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.
