So where are the pictures i promised :) If you have an questions please ask! But my initial Impressions are...

Computerkker
Pros: Very Big (could be seen as a negative also) Very Nice padding on shoulders, padding on waist belt, Place for tripod to be held.\

Cons: the pockets for random stuff are a little too big and i see my stuff just slipping around...

Adventure 9
Pros: Smaller :) cheaper, has compartment for other stuff, not just camera, The memory management system is also very good

Cons: not so much padding on the shoulders and no padding on belt.

... Right now i am contemplating selling the computrekker plus and perhaps buying a regular computrekker.... or perhaps another bag perhaps more manageable :) any suggestions? thanks

Bags are like houses: they seem huge when they're empty, and then they shrink when you move all your stuff inside. :)

As you use the bag - and especially if you get more equipment - you'll find that the extra space will seem to disappear.

I have the regular Computrekker and it is fantastic for my needs. Not too big and not too small, just right to hold everything I have and then grow a bit more. I don't think you can go wrong with either one of those.

The computrekker (regular) is a nice bag. My coworker has one and compare to my Nature Trekker it's smaller but it's the right size.

Just picked up a CTP not long ago... Make no mistake, it's a BIG bag! It's like a Mini Trekker on steroids. But if you've got a lot of gear, including up to a 17" laptop - it's a sweet ride for your kit.
