How do you find the comfort on a long walking tour carrying a DSLR, perhaps a spare lense and the usual personal items?

I take my backpack all across the city. It's the best for holding my DSLR camera, and everything I bring with it. And there's always enough room for all of my personal things. And the fact that it's waterproof only makes my treks better and worry free.

It's not too bad. I used this bag for my trip to Japan. The first few days it's Great. I think it's just the matter of how much weight you put on your shoulder each day. After about 3-4 days. I pretty much gave up on bringing it. Keep in mind though that me and my friends are walking around Japan from 10 AM to almost 10-11 PM at night with that bag on as we take pictures most of the time. I still use it for Traveling. it fits under the airplane seats pretty well. I pretty much have my camera and lots of personal items. the extra two slots for lenses i just use it for chargers and such since i have only one lense. I hope that helps.^^ It's not too bad.

I took it to Disney World for a week and carried slot more then that and it was very comfortable. The only thing I found difficult with it was that the upper compartment was a bag and there was nothing separating it from the camera compartment. It made it difficult to access my camera.

LOVE this bag for traveling and as a camera bag. I only wish the camera section had more structure so I could put more things on the top portion of the bag.

I am using for my Canons; 5DmkIII and 60d. In addition to three lenses and all the miscellaneous odds and ends one must carry about. Protection is good and you can still pack a pad or macbook. However, now I have mounted battery grips on both bodies and there is not enough room.

I have 3 lenses and bought a Lowepro backpack so that I could carry everything. I didn't find what I thought was a good case for just the camera.

Hi Stephen, I bought the lens for a family trip, and sell it as soon as I can back, I think is to heavy to travel with.

PS, Get a good tripod and a strong mount. The camera and lens are a hefty duo.

A very nice carry case with padded shoulder strap, memory card, cleaning fluid and cleaning towel for lens

This sounds like what I'm looking for then. I already have a big bulky camera but I wanted something smaller to carry around through the day. Thanks!

Lowepro 400 aw is fine if you dont need to carry a lot of other hiking gear, just camera equipment. I ended up switching to using my frame backpack for hiking gear, and then putting my camera and 2-3 lenses in a Lowepro Top Loader 65AW that I wear in front on my chest

I recently bought an Amazon Basics camera backpack and I carry my Sony Alpha A77V, the Sigma 50-500 mm a HVL-F42 flash unit and a Sony 18-200 lens and cables and my Pentax 8x43 birding binoculars. I thoroughly recommend it.

Since everyone answered the question...I carry my camera in a cushioned make-up bag. I wanted something lightweight w/easy access. It's a great camera and my friends w/big DSLRs always marvel at it. However I just saw a Samsung point and shoot that's the size of a P & S but w/the lens as big as a DSLR. That looked promising.

I hiked for hours across rugged terrain with my D90, which had a Tokina 11-16 mm F2.8 lens attached. The harness supported it well. When I lost the harness after that trip, I bought another to replace it.

Yes. I have the same camera and carry an extra lens plus external flash, and there is still room for more.

I carry my 7D and 2 lens with me - a standard & a zoom. A third lens or a hood can fit but then I like to also carry lens cleaners, filters, my wallet, cell phone & keys.

I carry a dslr with a 17-40 lens attached, one 70-200 lens and a few other items. This is my hiking backpack and I love it for that but it is not very roomy inside. You could attached the 70-200 to the camera and carry the other two lens but the flash would not fit inside with the other gear. You could possibly carry the flash in the outside pocket on the back or one of the side water bottle pockets but everything would be a tight fit.

1.camera does't belong in pocket. 2.keep it in a lint free small camera case. 3. be responsible, take care of your equipment, its expensive.

I use the bag for day trips like hiking or fishing or a short camping trip. I usually keep a change of clothes, flashlight, couple bottles of water, and some other misc. things. I would say definitely to the iPad and camera plus a couple other things. I'd say depends on the camera and if it had a decently big extra lens.

Thanks! Trying to consolidate what I carry. That would be no good if I lost it altogether so a pouch would be best. Thanks for your answer!
