After having searched far and wide for a camera bag, I think I have found the perfect one. What I usually carry: - Top compartment: light jacket, snacks, water bottle, notepad, pens, wallet, phone, battery, utility knife - External pockets: travel tripod, light rain jacket - Camera waist pack: Sony Alpha 6000 with Zeiss 16-70, Sony 55-210, tripod mount, cleaning cloth, extra SD cards, white balance reference cards, filters and there is quite some room to spare. The pack can hold the camera with either of the two lenses mounted Accessing the camera is very convenient, secure and fast, especially when walking around a city or hiking. The fact that nobody can access the camera compartment while I'm wearing the backpack is an added bonus. I've only used this backpack on a two week trip and over a couple of weekends however I am struggling to find any cons to this bag. The only one may be the price, however this I think is far superior to other camera bags that retail for around the same price. Highly recommended if you are looking for a convenient and secure way to carry around your camera gear.
