Customer Reviews

Careful - Maybe Too Small
I bought this bag from the advertised specifications. Tamrac states: "This ultra-sleek and compact backpack carries and protects a digital or film SLR (such as Canon's 20D or Nikon's D70s) with a lens attached, an additional lens, a small flash and accessories."

Bullhot!

I have a Nikon D50 with a 35-80 lens and it does not fit in this backpack worth a darn. I had to remove all of the separators and still have very little room for a SB20 flash. I do not see how a additional lens will fit. However, this bags fits my Panasonic digital camcorder just fine - no accessories [lens/flash] needed with the camcorder.

The quality of the pack is great, it just doesn't size up for digital SLR cameras. I would either look for something else or maybe the next size up in the Adventure 7 backpack.

Fit a 20D with Lens Attached?
Tamrac claimed on their sight that the Adventure 6 (5546) can fit a 20D with lens attached. I reviewed this bag at a local camera shop and it looks like a kid's bag! 20D with a lens attached, Tamrac should specify maybe a 50mm. I agree with Michael's review about the size and unless you are looking for a very small bag, you'll be disappointed. The size of the Adventure 7 (5547) seems ok, it's about the size of a standard student backpack. These backpacks have compartments for memory cards and batteries and other small items that I really like. Even though the Adventure 7 satisfies my storage needs, I won't buy it because of the tripod placement. You have to buy separate accesories to attach the tripod and the attachment is at the bottom. This bottom attachment is really inconvenient because you'll always should remove the tripod before you set the bag down.

For a better alternative, I suggest the Lowepro Rover AW II.

Perfect fit for a DSLR with 2-3 smaller lenses
I bought this bag because I prefer the comfort and support of a backpack as opposed to a shoulder bag. The bottom compartment is a perfect fit for my Olympus E-510 with a 14-42mm lens attached (with lens hood!) and the 40-150mm lens, along with the battery charger and power, usb, and videos cables. The outer pocket was able to hold the card reader, and extra memory card and battery. The E-510 body and lenses are smaller than most other DSLRs, so check the internal dimensions of the bag before purchasing. I was able to fit the camera manual and quick reference guide into the elastic webbing in the top compartment, leaving the rest of the top open for some food or a light jacket.

I really like the fact that this backpack doesn't look like a camera bag and thus may avoid attention from thieves. Also, you cannot take anything out of the bottom camera compartment while the backpack is being worn. Someone can still steal the things from the outside pocket, but at least your camera is secure.

The straps are very comfortable, and the backpack includes both a sternum strap and a waist strap, which seems a bit of overkill since you really can't carry to great of a load in this bag. Construction quality seems very high, and all the seams seem strong and secure. For the person who favors high mobility and does not carry too much equipment, this backpack is a great choice.
