Product Description
The DR-467 Digital Rucksack features a unique TST RIB structural protection for two D/SLR with mounted lens, 3-4 lenses, flash etc. + personal gear and a laptop. By removing the padded bottom camera insert you can easily convert this rucksack from a camera bag to a daypack when not shooting. The main compartment holds a D/SLR in top grip position while the modular dividers system will separate, organize and protect lenses, flashes and other accessories to suit your particular needs. The dedicated padded laptop compartment will hold and protect up to a 15" laptop. The large top compartment will hold personal gear or additional equipment, and the internal pockets and mp3 player pouch will allow you to organize your personal effects as efficiently as your photographic gear. Ample external pockets allow quick zippered access to supplies and a water bottle/ tripod support pocket pulls out from a side pocket. Included rain cover folds neatly away into an integrated pocket and can be hung out to dry on the small buckle next to the handle, or tucked away for storage in one of the pockets. When carrying, a chest belt and balancing waist strap are available for ultimate comfort, and the rucksack is also compatible with the Kata Insertrolley if wheel along transportation is needed.

I love this bag. Allows me room for a body, 4 lenses, a flash, my laptop, and still with plenty of room left over!
 Great. But side net is useless September 17, 2008

Love the color and overall functionality. However, there is a side zip pocket that reveals a netted holder that is so narrow and small it is useless. It might hold a small spray bottle but definitely not a water bottle. Too bad.
Great bag but no side pockets September 6, 2008

I love this bag in every way. It's sturdy, looks great and has been very intelligently designed. I have got compliments from many people on this bag! I would have given it 5 stars were it not for the fact that it has no side pockets to keep your water bottle, small umbrella etc. May be there is a reason for that but it sure would have been nice to have them. A great product overall.

Sound But Room To Improve August 30, 2008

Make no mistake, this bag is sound and hits all the marks one would want - durable, plenty of room, comfortable with a flexible interior. My issue is not so much with this bag but with this bottom-loading "style" of backpack bag in general. These bags are generally used by inserting the camera lens face "down" into the bag so one can quickly grab and shoot. My issue is that this manufacturer (and many others) put the camera compartment in the "bottom" of the bag. I am sure there are good reasons for this such as issues dealing with weight distribution, mass and balance. However backpacks, by design, are meant to picked up - put down - and picked up again. One shouldn't have to be gentle when handling. Well - with the lens face down at the bottom of the bag the "impact zone" is directly into the lens itself with just a little padding between the most sensitive part of one's equipment and the ground. To me, this seems like a recipe for a damaged lens...eventually.
My only other issue (more specific to this bag) is that the multi-purpose water bottle/tripod catch net on the side is very small and tight. Does not fit a water bottle....not even a 12 ouncer without forcing it into the area to the point of feeling like the mesh will tear. And forget about trying to jam in your own re-usable water bottle. No chance.
I would love to see a bag design in the reverse - with storage space at the bottom and camera equipment zone up top - with the ability to insert the gear face-down at the top of the bag. One or two bags like this are on the market but these are from lower end manufacturers and the camera compartments are not even sized large enough to fit even a pro-sumer set up. Lets see what the future has in store...
