Photo : Case Logic SLRC-4 SLR and Computer Backpack (Black) |
- Upgrade if you have a SLRThe top pocket for the camera is outfitted with a suspended base to protect the camera from shocks. However even as my Pentax K100D camera is listed in the camera matrix spreadsheet (available on CaseLogic's website) for this backpack, it will only fit, if I remove the lens, which is not really practical. Alternatively, remove the suspended base, lay the camera on it's back and loose the benefit of the shock protection.
The straps on the side of the bag is to short to hold on to a tripod, which makes me wonder what they are there for. I tied on bungee chords to hold on the tripod.
Construction and build appears good. Fit for the lenses are tight but workable. If you have a lot of extra gear like cables, filters, etc. you will likely end up using one or more lens places to hold that.
I have a CaseLogic shoulder bag SLRC-2 which works great, but should I make the selection of a backpack again, I would likely go for a larger model.

- nice bagIt is a great bag, like everybody here said. I just feel that the waist gripper need to be improved, I am 193 cm tall and it doesnt stay where it need to stay(in the waist!). Maybe I am too tall for this bag.
Ok, It is a "first week use review" but this is how a feel about it until now. I will keep using it because it is a very well balanced bag. maybe I just need to get used to the waist thing, but, that doesnt change the fact that it needs to be improved.

- Got it for a gift and it seems great!I got this for a gift and it seems like it's good. As you can see from the pictures, it's got all those compartments for all the essentials. It's a little small, so be sure to check the dimensions.

- Just what I neededI had received the Nikon D40X DSLR along with the 18-55mm kit lens and the 55-200mm lens for my birthday. I've also purchased a camcorder and I already have a Dell Inspiron 6000 (15.4 inch) laptop and a Canon S50 point and shoot. All of these things plus chargers, cables, extra mini dvds, mouse, accessories fit perfectly into this small backpack. The fit is snug, but that's how it's supposed to be. So far, I'm very happy with my purchase, although I just found it for $32 on cyber Monday here at Amazon. 4 stars only because I've only had it for 2 months and I don't know how it's going to hold up in the long run. It looks and feels like it's a quality product.

- Good Overall Compact SLR BackpackThis is an excellent backpack for its size. I do want to note that it is not a huge backpack by any means, so if that is what you are looking for, you will probably want to look elsewhere. I myself will probably have to invest in a bigger bag to hold my still relatively limited equipment.
However, this leads me to the strengths of this backpack and the purpose that I had initially purchased it for. I bought this bag to hold the following items on my caribbean trip:
- 15" macbook pro
- macbook power supply
- canon point-and-shoot camera
- canon 40d
- 70-200mm f/4 L
- 17-50mm Tamron
- 24-135mm f/3.5-5.6
- a few other small accessories
I probably could have fit another small lens, but that is pushing it. The bag is very compact and will fit comfortably under the chair for air-travel (that's nice). The other nice thing is that it is well padded and will stand up when you put the bag on the ground.
Because of its compact size, it did force me to be more selective on what gear I bring. However, this is partially because I didn't want to lug around too heavy a bag. This could be a good or bad thing depending on how you like to travel.
