Just bought this backpack.
http://www.vanguardworld.com/index.php/en/products/photo-video/detail-1-1-4-33.html
Needed a backpack to fit all my stuff that is suitable for use overseas. This bag is pretty much exactly what I needed.
Fits everything
Has room for other misc items that aren't camera related
Holds a tripod
Comfortable for long distances
Has a weather cover/is waterproof
Main entrance is from the back (which is kind of good, more secure I guess) and has a side easy access thing. PLUS it actually looks more like a normal backpack.
Plus it only cost me AUD$160
I was also looking at the Lowepro Prorunner 350 AW (which was good but $270). A tamrac bag that didn't have any areas for other misc stuff and the Kata 3N1-33 which had a tripod system I didn't really like. Couldnt even figure out the tripod thing at first and the rest of the bag was loving odd to use. I almost bought it till i realised there were no tripod straps. But the vaguard is $40 less
Plus it won some 2010 TIPA award or some poo poo for best camera bag.
So how do you like this bag? I have a huge Crumpler bag (Brian's Hot Tub), and it's pretty annoying to walk around with, even when not fully-loaded, as it's just awkwardly big. I bought it online, so it's my fault for not trying it out first.
The Vanguard, though, looks really nice and a bit smaller. Just wondering if you had any positive/negative experiences with it, i.e. hiking, sight-seeing, etc.
