This is a great bag that I got for super cheap and has held up extremely well. One of the best value purchases I have made. Suits the Canon brand well- on the surface not the most innovative, maybe slightly behind the newest thing, but you take it out in the field and it just performs without worry. While the new Canon glass is some of the sharpest available, their cameras and this bag are definitely not the flashiest, but they get the job done without getting in the way and they take massive beating.
PROS:
-Durable: I've had this 5 years and everything still works. No tears or fraying. I did break a zipper on an inner pocket after 4 years, but still use the pocket just fine. The durability is impressive for an affordable bag (I bought for 35 US) that I have treated like crap. I've carried this around almost daily with thousands in gear in it, not been gentle with it at all, I just toss it down wherever on the floor, ground, car seat. It is a tank without the weight or lack of flex that many bag designs seem to add for the same result.
-Simple: It isn't that pretty, it's basic, not the most comfortable, but like a lot of Canon stuff is durable and usable - it gets the job done well over and over again without a lot of fanfare. Adding bells and whistles often compromises the basic goal or ruins ergonomics anyway. While fancy features sound great, they often compromise a product or break. The simplicity of this bag has made it one of my most used.
-Strong for size: I carry a heavy gear load out of 1-2 large DSLR bodies, 3-4 L series lenses, Square ND filter set, 8 batteries, personal items, water, headlamps regularly with no worry that the bag will break.
-Capacity: I can get much more into this than similar sized bags. It has just enough padding, but much less than almost everything else. People think they need so much padding, but that makes packing inflexible, adds weight, etc. For example the slightly larger Basics bag I tried holds much less and is a pain to pack because of the rigid padding on all sides.
-Affordable: back a few years this was a great price. Now I see resellers have jacked that up. Still probably worth it.
Note that after 5 years, the zipper has gotten looser and in a very few cases the teeth were not joining. I fixed the zipper pull with pliers and all is well again. I had one incident where the weight of gear inside caused the zipper to unzip, my fault for not zipping to the corners so weight was not on the pulls.
CONS:
-Comfort: not horrible, but hardly has the support and padding that some bags do. This is both a pro and con. Makes the bag lighter and more comfortable, but heavily loaded it is somewhere in the middle on the comfort scale.
-Style: again simplicity is good, but it is somewhere on the middle of style. Not sexy, functional.
-Tripod straps: system not great, but then this is s very small bag so why expect much? You can strap a small tripod to the side or bottom. I almost always carry a large tripod that would never strap to this size bag.
-side pockets: not a fan of the loose velcro. These are not secure enough to hold things that could fall out, not large enough to hold a water bottle. I stopped using them for the most part. Should have closed more tightly or been just a bit larger to hold something useful.
I've been using this bag for almost eight years; it has seen a variety of different camera bodies and lenses, mostly full-frame cameras and long lenses. It will fit a Nikon D750 with a 70-200mm lens in the middle section, a Sigma 150-600mm on one side and 2-3 other lenses on the other side. It has ample pocket space, inside and out and I have often packed the pockets full of extra batteries, charger, spare memory cards, and many other miscellaneous items. I have lately been looking for a hard camera case, like Pelican, but they are all too heavy and bulky for my needs. The Pelican, while a beautiful well-made case, is difficult to open; the latches are really stiff and hard to pull up. Good for keeping the gear in the case but hard to deal with every time you open or close. In conclusion, this backpack is a lightweight alternative to hard cases. I've actually rarely used it as a backpack but generally carry from my house to my vehicle where I lay it flat in a secure position. It's well-padded and will protect your gear from most little accidents, such as dropping. It won't, of course protect it if run over by a truck.
I be be honest, my only real dislike concerning this backpack is the Canon logo, lol. I don't like to advertise that I am carrying around a bunch of expensive camera gear.
The internal organizing system works well. It is a bit limited, but that has more to do with the space constraints in the main compartment than anything else. The manufacturer provides plenty of little dividers. Just for grins, I was able to fit the following in the main compartment of this bag:
- Canon 6d
- Canon 100-400
-Canon 70-200
-Canon 50mm 1.8
-Canon 24-105
-a cleaning kit
It has enough other little pockets to hold memory cards, etc as well. I'm not a huge fan of the tripod straps on the bottom of the bag. I have been using the side straps and pockets to carry my lightweight tripod when needed. The shoulder straps are pretty comfortable, and the adjustable chest strap helps with the weight.
Overall, a great value for your money.
I can't complain. It holds my camera and lenses securely. Has plenty of spaces for other things such as pens, notebooks, SD cards, etc. I don't really care for the straps that hold your tripod, but that's so minor for me, I can't deduct a star. It's easy to change the configuration inside the pack to accommodate your specific camera and lenses. It's comfortable. It's padded on the arms and back. I've worn it for hours at a time with no complaints. I've been in the pouring rain with it and it's kept everything dry. I was really worried because I didn't know if it was water resistant or not. I've taken it hiking. It's rugged enough. There's no rips, frays, or tears, yet. But, I'm not Grizzly Adams, either.
I seriously don't think I have any cons. Well, the tripod straps could have been done better. But, it's nice otherwise. You can rely on it to take care of your expensive equipment effectively. It's so good, in fact, I bet you could carry a Nikon in it...

Description
200EG Deluxe Camera Case. Brand: Canon USA. 6229A003. BagDeluxe Back Pack 200EgCanon. UPC: 750845806137
I needed a larger carrying case that is padded, durable, and waterproof for an upcoming vacation to a tropical (i.e., rainy) location. Amazon has dozens to choose from so I had to do a bit of comparison shopping.
Construction: Excellent. I’m very pleased with the initial quality of the case. It’s made from a heavy denier with solid stitching. I couldn’t find any flaws in assembly on the interior exterior of the pack.
Comfort: Excellent: The pack is relatively small and comfortable. The padding is overbuilt for the size of the pack so, no complaints here.
Style: Good. Army green and black don’t stand out—perfect. I wish I could remove the logo but it’s metal and stitched in between layers.
Equipment Padding: Excellent. It’s at least 3 times as thick as my Canon camera bag. I feel completely comfortable with my equipment in the pack.
Storage: Excellent. I currently have my camera body, macro and telephoto lenses, a GoPro with hardware and extension pole, in the main compartment. I could fit another macro and a 50 mm. In the main compartments (two) zipper pouches I have all user manuals, two filter cases with 8 filters, Lenspen, mini tripod and three lens cloths. In the next layer (zipper pouch), I have two batteries, and two SD chips in the three built-in pouches, and two battery chargers. I have one unused pouch. Next layer zipper pouch: unused. Outside layer bungee pouch: unused. Two side pouches: unused.
Durability: Not tested.
Water Resistance: Not tested.
So far, I highly recommend and intend to update after heavy use.
I was looking for a solution to my camera gear or hiking bag dilemma and this solved it. I’m able to carry most of my camera gear, my water bladder, a few survival items (that I hope I never need) and there is still plenty of room for sustenance! The price was very reasonable for what your getting.
At $40, this is a decent camera bag. The sewing and fabric choices seem substantial. I'm not afraid to carry this bag by one strap. The compartments are steady, not saggy, yet easily adapted to fit your lenses and kit needs. Even so, it's much lighter than I expected. [Whispering...] It's made of Elvish fabric called "mithril" - light, durable, blends into the background, withstands trauma-velocity point-blank troll spears, takes a beating... I'm joking of course... [No longer whispering...] Except it really is pretty durable and light weight for a simple camera bag. There are zippered pockets and sleeves for a variety of gear.
The shoulder straps seem wide and bulky. I imagine if I had pounds of gear on my back all day, I would appreciate them more.
I have only had this bag for about a month. As things progress, I'll give updates about durability, weatherability and longevity.
Yes, there are other snazzy bags out there for hundreds of dollars that proclaim stylistically to those in-the-know that you have the "it" gear. I'm happy to have a bag that at least looks reasonably professional. So far, I'm quite pleased with this bag.
I've had this unit for almost 2 years and I like most things about it. What I don't like about it is the quick access. I use this mostly for storage of all my equipment but for shooting when you are moving, you have to set the bag down and if you open the zipper remember to fully close it again or you can drop a lot of lenses and equipment. Having said that it is nice looking, holds my stuff, has the outside areas for other stuff. I'm told it is waterproof but I don't like to take my equipment out in the rain. I have a compact waterproof for that. But I shot a graduation using this bag and it was a heavy mist in Santa Cruz, CA that you could call a light rain and I had no moisture issues.
Pros: Nice looking, holds my stuff (Canon 60D, 6 lenses, cleaning materials, filters, camera booklet, extra batteries). Well organized. 3 zippers and 2 velcro pockets
Negatives: The big risk of not zipping it closed, a lot to carry on a shoot, changing a lens means taking it off your back and putting on something. There may not be anything you want to put your pack on. I had to just give into getting my bag dirty. So it isn't for fast lens changes either.
Oh it does have those SD card storage but I store them in a case that I really like. I've only run out of space on my SD card once where I had done two shoots with hundreds of shots and it took 5 MB shots plus a 20+Raw image shot of each image.
I just bought Domke F-6 which I'm excited to try for a shoot.
Pro wedding photographer. I have three of these backpacks. This is how much I like them. They are super portable for women to carry. So all you need is one assistant per bag! I have loaded one of mine with my 5D Mark III with 70-200mm attached and there's still room in the bag for the 100mm 2.8 macro, a 40mm 2.8, a Gary Fong diffuser & a speedlight. In the other bag we have it loaded with anotehr 5D Mark III with 24-70mm attached with still room for a Gary Fong diffuser, the 16-35mm, and a speedlight and controller. The third bag hold 4 speedlights and diffusion & bracket attachments. These are amazing bags. My oldest is 5+ years old and still in great condition. I have another brand of backpack that the zipper broke on within the first year. I will never buy a different backpack.
