Reviews for Nikon D50 / D80 / D90

Review #1

(Added 6th July 2010)

Equipment list in bag :
Nikon D90 + Nikon 18-200mm DX f/3.5-5.6 VR
Accessories + Macbook notebook

I got a brand new bag! This one is for carrying my notebook and camera.

The back of the bag has straps to loop the bag over the handle of a roll-it.

There is also a nice small handle to grab the bag with. As you can see it's pretty small so that it doesn't get in the way.

Once the flap is opened you still have to unzip the lid.

The front pocket has the typical dividers.

I have mixed feelings about the interior. It's thoughtfully laid out but the materials and construction feel cheap. Maybe I'm mistaking cheap for light weight. I don't know. I still like it tho. Actually the price of the bag was quite affordable so maybe it's all good.

D90 with 18-200 stuffed in for size reference. Lots of room.

Enough room for a notebook, some basic accessories and a small camera kit.

My Macbook isn't very thick so I can stick other papers or books in with it if I needed to.

Tons of room for even the thickest notebook.

The pod for the camera is removable so you can use the bag for those none photography days.

Pod for the camera.

The camera pod. This is a D90 with 18-200 attached. There is still room for maybe a flash or small lens.

The strap is comfy and not too thick so it stays on your shoulder pretty well.

Kata bags have this sorta protected buckle thing going on

This is how the strap attaches to the bag.
There is a stretchy pocket on both sides.

Another view of the D-ring

thanks to Neeboo for review.

Enough room for a notebook, some basic accessories and a small camera kit.
