Reviews for Canon 350D / 400D XT / 1000D / 450D
My new camera bag. A Hama TrackPack rucksack. It was pretty cheap (£25 inc. delivery) and seems to be well made.

Review text:
I have had this bag for about 4 months and for the price its excellent. You can get quite a lot in there for it outwards size. You can also get a small laptop in there on top of the equipment but only if the camera doesn't have the grip attached.
The bag is generally comfy, there is a nice balance of padding in the back and the straps are well placed. There is an issue with the interior base support, the padding seems to stop just before the bottom and the edge of the base support can push into your back. The base support does lift up but this part has the velcro attachments so even if you did want to omit the support you wouldn't have anywhere to attach the interior spacers to the base.
Moving the interior spacers can be fiddly, but there is enough for pretty much any layout you want. There is extra padding for the centre channel which can be removed for more space, my 50-500 still fits in with it attached.
Exterior pocket is ample for basics but it is not easy to organise stuff in there as it all gets jumbled up. The webbing would have benefited from a zip like the interior pocket as I always find items previous in the pocket end up coming out.
Mine split at the top where the straps attach to the top of the bag, I think this is due to carrying it with the top handle whilst I had my main rucksack on between airport/hotels etc. Even though it was so cheap I don't feel this is acceptable. Also the stitching of the velcro attachments had already started to come away.
Although there are small problems, I have returned the bag and have opted for a replacement over a refund.
Likes about the bag: Cheap, fits quite a lot for the exterior size.
Dislikes about the bag: Not the most comfy, sometimes the base support sticks into your lower back. Top seam split easily.
