Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Lowepro Fastpack 250 (Red)

Customer Review: Great bag - and love the color - does it all
Summary: 5 Stars

I've had this bag for a week, and I've gotta say - I love this bag! I finally sprung for a DSLR (EOS T2i) after years weaning myself from film through a progression of better digital cameras. I'm really excited that I now have the equipment to shoot like I used to with my Elan IIe. But, for that to work, I need the camera with me as much as possible. Cameras in closets don't make memories.

I also need to schlep my PC, assorted stuff, etc. I have been carrying a Timbuk2 classic messenger bag, but I'm not going to let a $1200+ mix of camera gear roll around in that. I will not carry two bags, though - one's enough, thanks.

This bag is so close to perfect for me it's remarkable. I can fit the 2Ti with any of my 3 lenses mounted (including a relatively long 200mm zoom), the rest stored, together with my old 380EX Speedlite and case, a Zoom digital mic (a great addition to the camera for video with great audio) and I still have one section of the camera compartment empty. Not for long, probably.

The upper compartment holds "stuff" - laptop power adapter, camera battery charger, charger for AA batteries (for flash), network cable, patch cables, a couple of USB flash drives, pens, zip lock bags, etc. Believe me - I am an expert at loading up a bag, and I have a ways to go.

Some interesting points based on other reviews: The cell phone pocket on the strap is in fact too small for a real phone (I have a Droid), but it's the perfect size for business cards. Try it out. Many have said that they're disappointed there's no dedicated attachment for a tripod. I have a lightweight Ambico tripod, and I've been able to fit it under the adjustable straps on the front of the bag, the ones that keep you from opening the quick-access camera compartment too far. You can crank the straps down fairly tight. I'm not sure I'd go rock climbing with a tripod hung this way, but for A to B trips it works pretty well.

I was concerned that the notebook compartment might not be big enough for my Dell Studio 15 with the 9-cell battery. That battery adds a lot of thickness on the back of the notebook. It fits, although it's tight, and the back battery "handle" makes it easy to remove the notebook.

With all this, this bag is really no heavier or bulkier than my loaded messenger when I wasn't carrying a camera. I just need to avoid cramming it with papers and stuff that I carry around for six months :-)

So, all in all, this is a great multi-purpose bag.

Description of Lowepro Fastpack 250 (Red)

On streets or trails, you can shoot all day when you wear the lightweight, comfortable Fastpack 250 backpack by Lowepro. It protects a digital SLR with an 18-55mm or 17-85mm kit lens attached, plus 15.4" Widescreen notebook, and extra storage for 2-3 additional 105mm f/2.8, 18-200mm f/3.5, or 70-300mm f/4.5 lenses, flash, and other personal accessories. You won't miss a shot, because side-entry compartments let you grab equipment and accessories, even while you're on the move or without taking the backpack completely off! Customize the easy-to-access main compartment with adjustable dividers, use the outer organizer to keep larger accessories handy, and manage memory cards with a built-in pocket. Brethable, contoured shoulder straps distribute weight evenly.
