Reviews for Nikon D70 / D100 / D200 / D300 / D700
The Orion Trekker from Lowepro is a durable compact nylon made photo backpack. It is water resistant (to stand quite a lot of rain, knowing by experience), but be aware this bag is not all weather proof! The belts are easily adjustable, the belly belt has a quick release lock.
The camera compartment (bottom of the backpack) has enough space for 2 mid-size zoom/ prime lenses (18-70mm DX and the Nikon 85mm f/1.8 are inside mine) + a Nikon D70 body & mid-size lens connected.For the rest there is some small room left for a cleaning kit/ blower/ several filter holders/ lens caps etc.The inside of the camera compartment is adjustable and the bottom is strengthen by a thick layer of filled nylon.
The Camera top compartment has enough space for a (rain)jacket and some extra things, I keep my image storage device in here. Inside the top part is a small water proof pocket for some small things which have to stay 100% dry for sure. At the outside there is a pocket for some quick reach things.
Positive points: compact, good and strong material used, fits well and has good adjustable belts. Doesn’t really look like a photo backpack, which can be a positive point in countries where they love to ‘borrow’ your camera gear (Netherlands here...)
Down points: not suited when you need to reach your camera quickly, not all weather proof (for the price some would expect) No way to connect your tripod/ monopod to it.
Conclusion for me personally, happy with this compact day trip style bag, but already looking for a bigger size which is more suited for the longer photo trips.
for Canon 350D / 400D XT / 1000D / 450D
Heres is an overview of the bag, in the top part i keep lens cloths, AA batteries for emergencies (for the battery grip), lens tissue, flash gun etc etc and as you can see in the main compartment at the bottom is the 350D with BG-E3 Grip , it has a Sigma 55-200 fitted. There is also the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Kit Lens as well as a Tamron 70-300 and the lens/body caps, spare lens tissue and hidden from view is a card reader.
