Kata R-103 GDC Rucksack
$285.00
I've tried to like this bag for a long time. It's well made but use it now for my secondary equipment which stays in the vehicle. It's more like a small daypack bag than one to take all you need into the field. I switched to the Lowepro Photo Trekker AW II Camera Backpack. I do not find the Lowepro too heavy as I do not pack it full of equipment, however, the ergonomics is so much better. The Lowpro provides better organization and easier access to what I need.

Kata Ergo-Tech Series Sensitivity V Personal Gear Backpack for Digital Camera and 12 Inch Laptop Computer, Black
$129.99
This backpack has served me for almost 2 years, and I've been extremely rough on it. I use it to carry my laptop, SLR, and everything else I need (pens, pencils, wallet, cell phone, flash light, knife, usb drive, etc.). Because of it's yellow insides, I don't have to hunt to find those little things.

The bag is light and comfortable. I would buy another one in a heartbeat.

I picked up this camera backpack for a couple of reasons. First, I wanted something that could sit in my car and not scream out "REALLY EXPENSIVE CAMERA GEAR INSIDE!!!!" It does that very well. In fact, I've carried this bag around a few places, and when I go to pull my camera out of the bottom, my friends have had not idea that I was carrying my camera. The second reason I wanted it was for an easy-to-carry bag for on-location shooting. This is where it shines. It is extremely comfortable to carry, even when I load it up with camera equipment, batteries, and strap on a tripod. I had been using a traditional shoulder bag for my equipment and within the span on 2 weeks, it became my storage bag for the very rarely used equipment. As an added bonus, it's extremely well built. The handles and straps are nicely padded and show no signs of wearing out any time soon. It's also weatherproof and has a rain cover for extra protection, which came in handy at our last wedding, since it was pouring all day long and the ceiling of the venue was vented, so there was water inside the building, as well.

Great camera bag. I have a Canon 7D with 2 lens, and lots of accessories. It also fits my cam corder and its accessories. It is comfortable and travels well. It is well made and durable.
