Waterproof DSLR SLR Camera Backpack with Laptop Compartment & Rain Cover - Durable Case for Camera, Lens & Accessories - Perfect for Travel, Hiking & Outdoor Photography

There are many camera bags and backpacks on the market so it is never easy to whittle down a shortlist to one product. Amazon has some excellent camera bags on offer and all come with good pictures and descriptions from the sellers - and they come in a variety of sizes and price ranges.This Tarion backpack arrived simply packaged in a plastic bag (inside an Amazon postage pack, naturally) and I have to say I felt confident as soon as I picked it up. This isn't a big backpack by any means but is plenty big enough for the average user. The fabric feels solid and has been stitched perfectly throughout, the sides and base are quite firm (some backpacks and bags have soft sides), and the double zip feels plenty strong enough.The base of the backpack has two straps that can be used to hold a tripod - I like this position because it means the backpack's centre of gravity remains stable and the pack won't tilt to one side as it would if a tripod was fixed to a side. On the outside is quite a deep, zipped pocket (unpadded) and with two small mesh pockets on either side. The interior of the bag has the usual removeable velcro sections so that you can create an interior design that suits you - camera bodies, lenses, accessories, whatever. I generally keep a medium telephoto lens on my main camera (Nikon 7500) and it fits perfect in the top centre section (that also has a retaining strap) and still leaves plenty of room in sections beneath it.This is not an expensive backpack, and it even contains a waterproof rain cover should the weather change when you are out of doors. It feels quality, my camera equipment feels nicely protected, it is easy to carry either over one shoulder or over two. For an everyday bag to hold equipment this is ideal, and is plenty good enough if you just need some safe indoor storage.I could find nothing to fault with this product. It looks good, it looks expensive (it isn't expensive at all). The only little niggle I could come across is the padded inserts - I felt they could have been better padded, but there are more than good enouogh to keep equipment separate and decently protected in the backpack. An easy 5 star rating and I can certainly recommend this for anyone looking for a basic, everyday backpack with no frills but still having the feel of good quality.
