I have a Lowepro FastPack 250 and a Nova 160AW:



The FastPack can take a full-sized laptop so my netbook does rattle about a bit, but aside from that its a great bag for my usage. Its just about the allowable maximum size for carry on baggage, fairly lightweight and fits my netbook, camera, lenses, filters plus all the cables/charges needed and room for a lightweight jacket. Ugly as sin though, not particularly comfortable to carry and not very waterproof though.

I am looking for a backpack that has the feature in the picture here where you can quickly bring the backpack around, unzip that compartment and pull the camera out easily. I looked at the fastpacks and the straps look really uncomfortable. Does anyone have any recommendations for backpacks with that feature that are more comfortable, and that can hold a laptop?

It's worth it to give those Fastpacks a try, if you can get to a store that has them. Many camera stores do, and I've seen a lot of Lowepro bags at Best Buy.

If you prefer 2 straps though, the LowePro CompuPrimus AW looks like it will fit the bill for you.

Yeah, that looks pretty good actually. I think Henry's in town here might have both of them, I'll have to give them a try.
