This is a great product. The price made made it even better. Very well laid out and the quality is outstanding.

Very sturdy construction using quality materials. Good storage, comfortable to carry. Only thing lacking is the flexability to handle more partitions as opposed to the camera insert. Highly recommended.

Just ordered my second for a friend who has a super zoom. Fits a super zoom or consumer DSLR with intro zoom lens. (I am using it for a Sony SLT a65 w/ Sigma 17-50 f2.8 lens and it just fits.) Could not buy a bag of this quality and flexibility anywhere else at twice this price. Camera itself fits in a well padded modular (removable) soft case, which protects it very well, and means the bag can be used in situations not requiring a camera...But this also means the bag needs to be opened, and then the camera case could need to be opened, in order to gain access to the camera. Guess when quick access is desired, one should unzip the camera case before hand.

Got this for a small field bag for a body, lens and an iPad. If I had a smaller camera and lens and no cover for my iPad, it would be fine. However, the sleeve is too small for a full-size iPad unless I remove the case. The case is fine to stuff a couple of lenses, but full frame cameras are just too large. Overall, the construction seems robust and well done as is the finish and hardware. If you don't case your iPad and shoot DX format cameras or M43, this bag is fine. Or if you need to pack all your iPad goodies (cables, charger, dongles, etc.), this is a good little bag for the job.

I use this for a Canon T3i with one or two extra lenses. It is lightweight and fairly sturdy. I like the extra flap as security when traveling. The extra "bag in a bag" is nice as it provides additional padding and security. I wouldn't use this to carry a full load - camera, lenses, flash, extra batteries, etc., but for a day trip it works well.

This bag is better than the Nikon bag I purchased for my D5100. It is more padded and yet much lighter weight. The compartments are perfect for the camera, and extra lens, battery and charger. It carries nicely with the padded shoulder strap, and the loop on the back to hold it to my luggage handle is the best feature not found on most camera bags.

I love this bag. Protection in many ways. I love the fact it does not look like a typical bag in this snatch n grab society yet houses my Nikon D5100 perfectly. I am able to house my camera in the inner housing and keep a additional lens,flash and my Nexus 7. What I really like is the ability to have my Nikon with the 70-300 zoom attached and ready. Access to camera seems reasonable as well, perhaps not as well as a sling shot but you can access camera quick w/o taking the bag off your shoulder. Quality of materials seem top notch as well. Would easily recommend this bag to anyone.

The quality of the bag is fine, but recognize that this thing is about the size of a small purse. I thought it was the size of a typical messenger bag. Fail!

I haven't had it long but this bag has already become my favorite bag so far! Its super comfortable, like super, super comfortable! It takes what is heavy and makes it feel light and easy to carry! Ok so my last bag was nasty but you get the picture this one is nice!

If you are using 5dii+24-70, which I assume common, the inner pouch is too small for it. You can still close the outer cover though, which is the reason I still keep it. Otherwise it is a solid made bag for short trip.

I liked messanger bags most days of my life. So, I bought this thinking of giving a try, as it was very less priced. I felt great once i received it. It is stylish, with enough protection towards dust and rain. Sufficient for a SLR with a attached and one more lens. I tried fitting ipad after stuffing camera quipments and it felt cramped, so would not do it on daily bases. I wish there was more padding at the base for protection; however, do not regret as it might have lost the charm of messanger style bag. If you do not want to feel guilty of carring a non-camera style bag all day long, go for it.

This is a great bag, doesn't look like a camera bag. Under the outer flap you have a zipper closure to the main compartment, gives you extra security and helps keep the dust and rain out. Inside is zipper pouch that fits a compact dslr or I put two mirrorless compact cameras. I can fit a couple of larger lenses, like a 70-300 inside and there is a divider for my iPad too. Very light weight, the strap is great that they sewed the padding to the strap so it doesn't slip or need to be adjusted. My only change would be if the two outside pockets were a little larger to fit the water bottles more easily.

At first sight, this bag seems very small. But as I loaded the stuff I needed at that time (1 lens, a flash and a D2X body) in this bag, I realize how much larger it was. Plus, if you remove the insert case that comes with the bag, it is even larger and could hold so much more. Just have to be creative.

I received my bag yesterday and was pleasantly surprised as it was larger than expected. I was looking for a day bag that would fit necessary gear for day trips, but also fit my netbook when traveling by air, etc. The camera pouch fits my Pentax K7 with my Tamron 18-200 lens attached. I was really surprised to find a grab handle and a trolley sleeve as this was not mentioned in any previous reviews. I don't know how it can fit an ipad in it's slot as it's small and not well padded, but I was able to fit my 10.1 netbook (without a neoprene sleeve) between the camera pouch and ipad pocket. I was able to fit the camera, tamron lens, and attached strap in the pouch, misc accessories, battery charger, ac adapter, and manual. (The manual, ac adapter & charger will be removed when putting my netbook in the bag.) Keep in mind, I will only put the netbook in it when traveling as I don't normally travel with it on a daily basis. It is a good day bag for a quality price. I rated it a 4 since I haven't used it on the road yet.

Used for short hikes or city walking with one dslr+ lens and not much else. Great: easy to carry, does not look like camera bag, secure (flap with two clasps covers compartments). Not so great: the removable bag is too small for my Canon dslr with lens; forget using it unless you have a point n shoot or other small camera. Also the hyped ribbed protection is an inch wide strip on the flap - useless.l

This is a good bag for the money. Looks a bit too much like a ladies handbag, but otherwise it holds a lot for a smaller bag. I use it for my GH2, but it could easily hold a larger camera with an extra lens. Not super-rugged, but enough padding to protect your camera in normal situations. Good, strong material (seems waterproof).

thin so you can carry 3-4 extra lens

Great bag to carry extra a lenses, speed light and filters without the bulk of a late bag.

Just what I wanted to carry camera, extra lens and speed light.

It just the right size for daily use. I use this to transport my 60D and Ipad 2.
