 Didn't expect this to be so small.. December 7, 2007
I cant fit in the lenses with the hood. I have a 135mm zoom, 300mm zoom and a 55mm lens and every one has a hood. Its really hard to push them in with the hood.
One good thing is it has lot of sponge which will protect the lens and the camera on a heavy drop.
I like the tripod straps on the bag.

 Too small for SLR; too big for point-and-shoot cameras November 11, 2007
1 out of 6 found this review helpful
I was looking for a backpack upgrade after finding my over-the-shoulder bag too small to hold a two lenses, film, a filter wallet, and a cleaning kit for my Nikon N6006, (which is an average sized SLR). The Tamrac Expedition 3 disappointed me for several reasons:
(1) Too small -- the bag is NOT the size of an average backpack; it is about 40% smaller, and closer to a shoebox in profile. There is no room for lens hoods. Even the slack from the camera strap causes space problems when trying to zip/unzip the bag. Tamrac certainly could have made this bag much more functional had it been the size of a standard backpack.
(2) No room for film -- upon buying the bag, I found out that it requires a film holster accessory in order to hold film (sold separately). The other alternative is to leave a lens behind and use that space instead.
(3) Inadequate space for filters -- a filter wallet will fit in the front pouch with a bit of finagling. But they are somewhat unprotected, and if a tripod is mounted on the outside, it will be applying pressure on this space and compromising the filters.
(4) Slow access due to hard to open zippers -- the fabric and zippers are stiff and difficult to unzip and access. Spontaneous quick-reaction photography is nearly impossible if your camera is packed away.
This bag is a great idea without a market: it's far too big for a point-and-shoot camera, but far too small to carry the standard accessories any SLR photographer would normally keep. I strongly recommend looking at other options, and do carefully compare dimensions.
Great backpack!! November 5, 2007
Great backpack!!! I wanted to use it for traveling and it's perfect. It holds my SLR-type camera, mini-DV video camera, extra DV tapes, and all the adapters and plug-ins. It's not very big but that is what I am looking for when traveling.
 Smaller than you think October 30, 2007
I have a rebel XT, 75-300, 50 1.8, and the 17-85 IS lenses. This bag claims this should all fit. I didn't mention that I have lens hoods for the 17-85 and the 75-300. I can fit the camera and lenses, but as soon as you add a flash (580EXII - Excellent flash), or the lens hoods, it goes from *unnngh-TIGHT* to *A pool of extra items sitting on the floor that wont fit*. Its a cute little backpack assuming you aren't serious (even halfway serious) about photography. If all you have is a kit lens and a 75-300, you might be OK, but any more, Go for something larger. Seriously.
