 awesome bag for your dSLR and a few items May 13, 2007

I really like this bag. I was hesitant to purchase it online even after reading reviews because I have a 30D and I wasn't sure if it was large enough to handle the camera and a few accessories. There was no reason to worry; it held my camera with a Canon 17mm-85 IS USM lens attached with enough room left over for my Speedlight flash and a Canon 70-200 lens. Of course items were packed a bit tight, but not uncomfortably so.
I purchased this bag to take with me to India for vacation and it was ideal. I was a bit concerned that the bag would expose my camera to theft, but I found that keeping it on one shoulder with my arm around the top of the bag kept it safely out of the reach of theives.
The bag was very comfortable to wear (I'm 5'10" and 170lbs) even for long periods of time. The upper compartment was fine for extra stuff but don't expect it to replace your backpack.
The only caveat I experienced was that I had to take off the bag to put the camera away and to take it out. This was frustrating and not always possible. So while this bag is amazing and I recommend it, I'm giving it 4 stars for this reason

We bought this item for a family trip to Disney World. It fits my Canon Rebel XTi with the lens attached and has plenty of room for another lens and peripherals. The top portion held wallets, keys, an extra shirt, baby wipes, maps, suntan lotion, and other theme park necessities. We felt that the bag had enough room for us to enjoy the park with this being our only bag used (no purse or diaper bag).
It is very comfortable to wear. The shoulder straps are well padded and the bag overall distributes the weight well. Also, this bag does not look like the typical camera bag, which is good for security reasons. We looked at many other bags, including the Adventure 6, but I'm glad we stuck with the Adventure 7.

After reading the reviews for this item I thought the day bag part of this bag was going to be tiny. I ordered the bag anyway, and I'm glad I did. The camera part of the bag fits my Nikon SLR and all its accessories, except for a compact tripod which i stick into one of the side pockets. The day bag portion is surprisingly sufficient. I travel through Europe alot and there is plenty of room for my travel guide, map, sunglass case, ipod, and wallet. A bottle of water fits in the other side pocket too.
If you are looking to carry more than that you should look into a hiking backpack. I'm happy with my purchase.
Great storage for your dSLRs! April 5, 2007

I have used this product for about 8 months. It stores and protects my camera very well and when I travel. I usually carry along with my Nikon D50 a 35-70mm 2.8D, 50mm 1.8D, 18-70mm 3.5-4.5 lenses. I have all the hoods in there as well.
I will be adding a SB800 unit very soon and It still has a lot of room in the bottom compartment.
On the top compartment, I carry all my personal belongings. Sometimes wallets and cell phones. I carry my charger and USB cables if needed.
The only problem is that since I am a college student I do have to wear a bookbag, and I can't wear two bookbags. I had to modify this bag a little bit to accommodate maybe a one thin book, but cutting a hole between the top and the bottom compartment.

I'm very pleased with the Adventure 7. The crucial question I had was 'how much can I fit in there.' I was expecting to fit the camera with a lens attached, a second lens, and a flash. I managed to fit: a Nikon D40 w/ 18-200 attached, an SB-800 flash, a Sigma 10-20mm 4-5.6, a Sigma 30mm 1.4, and a Sigma 50-150mm 2.8. I could even squeeze an Acratech Ultimate Ballhead above the Sigma 30mm. There is yet a little more space in the middle section below the D40 body and to the side of the 18-200, but that would be a really awkward spot. Granted, this takes some packing finesse, but it shows exactly how much you can fit in if you are really determined. The upper section is modest, but fine for a light jacket, lunch, and snacks for a day hike. (My jacket is pretty light, I could see a heavier jacket making it harder to fit as much else)
I bought the Tamrac cinch straps to lash a tripod to the underside of the backpack. Shame on Tamrac for not just including them. I use a Gitzo 1558T, which is 14" folded up, so it pretty much matches the width of the backpack, not sticking out to catch on something. If you want to carry a longer tripod, that might not work so well - I wouldn't want a tripod sticking out six inches on each side, for example.
I like the fact that the backpack does not scream "Expensive Photo Equipment!" like a photo backpack with "Canon" or "Nikon" on it would. With the latched and zippered access to the photo section, I'm not worried about somebody covertly unzipping the backpack.
My one annoyance is the abundance of straps. While a good idea conceptually, with both waist and sternum straps, you have a lot of loose strap ends hanging about. Not to forget the loose strap ends for adjusting the shoulder straps. I might trim them at some point. In all, when the worst complaint I have is about long straps, that means I'm pretty darn pleased.
