Comments about Lowepro Lowepro Stealth Reporter D650 AW All Weather Digital Camera Bag, with 17" Notebook Computer Compartment, Black:

I bought this bag to use with 2 DSLR's for shooting from the car and for my urban expeditions. I do not like it and plan to return it. I had been using 2 Lowepro Top Loaders attached to a heavy-duty homemade leather belt. The top loaders worked well, however, I was looking for a little bit more room.

This bag is well-constructed but not particularly well-designed for carrying 2 DSLR's. Lowepro is generous with the velcro attached dividers but I still was unable to get 2 DSLR's in in a way that would allow me quick access.

My disappointments with this bag:

The bag is bulky, even without having added a laptop. Too bulky, given what it holds. There are generous amounts of pockets for small accessories but I found the central compartment space for cameras and lenses to be cramped and sorely lacking.

There is a poorly designed zipper on the top which is supposed to allow quick access to your camera(s) without opening the bag with the traditional clip/strap. This will work IF, you are only carrying 1 camera and it's centered in the camera compartment HOWEVER, if you have 1 camera (each) where the X's are: X||X with the 2 parallel lines representing where your lenses and/or accessories would go, the zipper doesn't open wide enough to allow you to get to the cameras. In theory, I guess you could have the 2 cameras touching or separated with a single divider in order to 'center' them, but it's still akward.

My final disappointment is that the bag is advertised as the "Stealth Reporter" and the term "photojournalist bag" is also used. When I think of a photojournalist, I envision someone who is running through airports, hopping on buses---one minute shooting from a motorbike in Barcelona and the next minute, shooting from a camel in Marrakesh. This bag is way too bulky to use it in the same sentence as the word, "stealth". In my opinion, the bag SCREAMS, "I'M CARRYING CAMERA/COMPUTER EQUIPMENT!" While the strap is excellent at distributing the weight, I would not feel comfortable walking city streets with this bag, it's simply too conspicuous. You'll bump into people walking down a narrow pathway in a plane, bus, or train.

In my opinion, this bag is fine IF you're only using 1 body and a lot of lenses and/or accessories AND you shoot primarily on location; or if you're primarily shooting landscapes and driving to your destination, parking your car and then walking a mile or so. However, if you're in the street, urban areas, doing a lot of walking, or just "on the go" (not in a car) and/or if you're using 2 bodies, then I would not recommend it.

In a nutshell, it feels like I'm carrying a lightweight footlocker around, minus the space.
