Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Lowepro Versapack 200 AW Camera Backpack (Black/Gray)
Customer Review: I LOVE this bag
Summary: 5 Stars
Why?
- It is (FOR ME) the perfect blending of camera bag, and a carry-around day backpack. It does not look like a camera bag, which is always good. It allows me to put personal stuff, which is just AWESOME for people like me who like to travel a lot, and be able to bring my gear along, as well as personal items (rains a lot in these areas!), and don't want to carry two bags around.
- I don't have big cameras or lenses, so it fits perfectly. I customized the dividers in a way that I can put my Nikon D3000 with lens attached and pull it from the side, and place the other 2 lenses that I have (Nikon 55-200mm VR, 18-55mm VR, 50mm f1.8D) on the other side, and still have some extra room where I can place a flash (I don't have one) but where I currently put the CPL, the 50mm hood, and lens cleaning kit. Then I have the upper area all for myself, light jacket, water bottle, pens, charger, cellphone,etc.
- The vertical pocket where you can put documents (smaller ones, like maps and such) is very handy as well.
- And finally, the tripod holders. I have a very small tripod, that I can easily fit at the bottom with the 2 straps. That has allowed me to use the tripod a lot more than before, and make some good shots. Of course, when you have a tripod (even a small one) hanging from your bag, it kind of gives away the real intentions of your bag = ]
and you can use the tripod straps to put a folded blanket, small jacket, etc.
I was in a trip recently to Vancouver, BC. We walked a LOT! And I mean, miles and miles!! I was carrying the bag with pretty much all items described above, and even after hours, still feel comfortable, I don't know how they do it, but the load is balanced real nicely. We easily walked around in 2 days for more than 20hrs, of course at the 3rd day when I came back I had some slight pain on my shoulders, but disappeared in 2 days. I was pretty happy with how the bag performed, how easy is to access to take out or put away the camera, and also to change lenses.
Of course, is not perfect. The waistbelt could be better (padded or something), also don't like that sometimes the straps are just hanging around, I wished they had some sort of velcro (like the tripod straps on the bottom have!) so you could conceal them nicely. The only thing the waistbelt straps have is an elastic band, where you can tuck in the remaining of the strap, but when you slide your bag from side to side to access your gear, it sometimes get messed up, but no biggy.
All in all, is a really good camera bag for smallish DSLRs+lenses, but has the versatility to allow you to bring personal stuff, and carry like a regular backpack.
Build quality is great, color is great, and internal dividers and zippers are also great. The only zipper I don't like (also mentioned in other reviews) is that of the upper pocket, it could use some improvement, but once you get used to it, is not big deal.
If you have a smallish DSLR, enjoy going on hikes, or travel, and would like to have a multi-purpose comfortable, excellent quality, backpack where you can carry your gear and personal stuff, this is just perfect!
If you are a pro, or a hobbyist with pro gear (say D3s, with 24-70, 70-200mm, etc) this may not be for you. Although, you may not be looking at this camera bag at all anyway =]
Highly recommended!
