Holds my Nikon D90, 2 lenses, flash and cords. Very comfortable to wear. The bags with shoulder straps hurt my back if carrying too long. This one does not, and I don't have to put the bag down when I shoot, then wonder where I left it.

I searched for months. I had this ideal in my head, I needed something that I could be hands free yet I didn't want to worry where I put it. This waist-pack may be large but it fits all my gear. I have my Nikon D90 with lens, a 70-300 zoom lens, Nikon SB600 flash and all the cords and miscellaneous stuff I feel like I need. I use my camera for my seven children. This allows me to take care of the little ones and still carry my camera. The shoulder bags always made my shoulders hurt even though I tried to switch shoulders every 15 minutes (what a bother). But with this bag I get my camera out, zip up, and turn the bag so that it is at my back. If I need it, I turn it back around. The zipper works so that the flap opens up against you so that you have a clear path to the compartment. Each compartment protects your camera very well. I haven't tried the shoulder strap included but it looks real nice. I really like it. It would help if the interior was a lighter color, but it hasn't hindered me yet. Thanks Tenba!

Tenba Shootout Series
An advanced collection of photo/imaging carry gear and accessories, aimed predominantly at serious outdoor/active photographers. The initial Shootout launch includes five Photo/Laptop Backpacks, a Convertible Photo Waistpack, a Rolling Utility Duffel and an accessory Lens/Bottle Caddy. These will shortly be followed by a full range of outdoor-oriented shoulder bags, photo/laptop messenger bags and accessories
Shootout was developed and fine-tuned by the company's in-house design team for over a year, with the specific goals of providing lightweight, comfortable, action-oriented packs and bags with a high level of protection, and innovative, pro-grade features. The additional challenge was to do it all with truly new, head-turning design and execution, so around and beneath Shootout's unique, curvy shaping and styling is the kind of attention to detail that customers have come to expect from a brand that has been focused on top-level shooters for 30 years. Key features (which vary by model) include weather-sealed zippers, convertible QuickAccess pockets, a new and innovative tripod carrying system, and Tenba's exclusive WeatherWrap auxiliary cover.
Shootout Convertible Waistpack
The Shootout Convertible Waistpack is a versatile, lightweight, hands-free carrying system for a camera (up to a standard-body D-SLR) fitted with a small- or mid-size zoom, along with a second lens, flash and accessories. The Waistpack incorporates a broad, padded, fully-adjustable waist belt with a moisture-wicking lining for long-haul comfort. The main compartment flap opens away from the body for unimpeded access, and closes with weathersealed zippers. Other features include dual-door end pockets with main compartment QuickAccess functionality similar to that of the Backpacks, and a variety of interior organizers for media, batteries, cables and other accessories. And unlike typical, single-purpose fanny packs, the Shootout Waistpack converts to a compact, true shoulder bag by removing the belt and attaching the included hand grip and shoulder strap.
All Shootout Backpacks and Waistpacks also come complete with "attachable" accessories one a media card wallet and the other a padded pouch for phone or portable audio player. The accessory cases are secured to the packs with clip-on security tethers, but can be removed and attached to various clip-on points on Shootout waist belts and/or shoulder pads.
Tenba also offers an optional Lens/Bottle Caddy, which can be attached to the same clip-on points and "self stows" when not in use.
