Looks pretty much the same as the Lowepro Mini Trekker Classic and cost the same:) I would go for the Lowepro though ;)

Not quite, the lowepro was priced in british pounds, the apollo in american dollars :confused:

From looking at the picture the apollo looks like a lower grade material. It look like cheap nylon instead of Codura or Ballistic Nylon. I don't like companies start prompt high MSRP to bolst a lower sale price. I een similar bags from Ritz Camera for around $79 so their $189 is just fluff.

I have that Apollo Atiba backpack. However I use it for my video equipment, not my camera equipment. I am thinking about getting a lowepro computrekker and was wondering if this would be a good choice?
