I have wanted a camera backpack for awhile now. The largest problem for me was the price of them. I didn’t really want to spend $130 on a camera bag (no offense guys, but for a student… Id rather get lenses).
I started looking around on eBay and found that sellerwelike2deal (http://myworld.ebay.com/welike2deal/) was selling backpacks for just under $50 shipped. It was on sale for $44.99, plus I had an 8% coupon PLUS 8% cash back, meaning I got the bag for $38 shipped. Its made by Atlas (heres the official website http://www.theatlasstore.com/p/242533/camera-backpack.html )
So I got it today, 6 days after purchasing. I was amazed by the quality of the bag. It feels like the lowepro I had seen at Wolf Camera, not to mention it fits everything I have!
The straps are reasonable comfortable (not the best, but better than the $20 Target backpack I had been putting my camera bag inside of)
What I have in there: Gripped 40D, 70-200 2.8, 300 F/4, 50/1.4, Teleconverter, 3 (yes three) flashes. Cables, chargers etc.
Theres a dedicated area you can put a full-sized laptop in there as well. I think it’s a great bargain for what you get.
