Kata Ergo-Tech Series Prism U Personal Gear Backpack for Digital Camera and 12 Inch Laptop Computer
Couldn’t ask for a better camera bag! It is durable, light wait, has a lot of pockets, and holds everything you need for a day walk.
This is, without a doubt, the best camera bag I’ve ever had…and the fact that I can also carry a small laptop is an added bonus. OK, it’s not perfect if carry really long lenses, but for carrying one or (even two smallish – Nikon D40/60 are what I carry) digital SLRs with standard lenses for everyday use (mine are Nikkor 18-200 zoom and 60 mm micro) it’s perfect. Lightweight, great padding, convenient, small accessory and bottle pockets.
It’s a nice durable bag but It’s bigger and bulkier than it looks in the pictures. The straps are very wide. I have broad shoulders and I still need the chest strap to keep the straps from pulling to the sides. The camera compartment on the bottom is only big enough to fit an SLR with a short lens. If I carry my 5D with the 24-70L lens, I have to keep it in the top zipper pocket in stead. It fits in the camera compartment perfectly with most shorter prime lenses though. But you would have to put your larger zoom in the top compartment.
My main disappointment with this bag is the laptop compartment doesn’t fit a 13″ laptop. It could have easily fit my laptop if they extended the zipper area by only a half inch in each side(major design flaw). It’s only usable to hold books and papers.
I will most likely get a lowepro that can fit my laptop to replace this bag very soon. I don’t recommend this bag at all. The lowepro slingshot which is much smaller than this bag can hold just as much stuff(minus the document pocket).
I was using a shoulder bag for two years. The weight of my SLR, bettery,charge, flash…etc was killing me if I went for a day trip. I compared dozens of camera bags on the amazon and on the net, from $30 to $200 sth, from sling bag to backpack. I finally picked up this one. I have been using it for the recent trip to DC (several days walking in DC), Shenandoah, Newport… took it to everywhere. I am a 5′5 medium build woman. This backpack fits me very well(tighten the front staps if you are wearing short sleeved shirts, so the shoulder straps can be away from your bare inside arms). I put everything into it: one SLR with 200mm lens, Flash, diffuser, bettery for camera, bettery for Flash, bettery charge, keys, wallet, pen, tour books etc. I swich the bag to the front for quick access to the camera if I wasn’t holding the camera in my hand.
I love this backpack, it gives me a lot more freedom to enjoy my trips and photo taking.
PS: Shipping was awesome, the backpack was packaged as if it was a baby.
Nice Bag, Enough space for camera with kit lens, plus a telephoto and prime in one compartment.
another compartment for another stuffs.
the laptop compartment might be a bit small and tight.
lacks a compartment for tripod.
