I had travelled to the camera show at NEC to have a look at their backpacks side by side - I also bought a Pro Trekker 400. The 200 I received had obviously not been through any kind of quality control - it was seriously under width. Despite Lowepro's claims about it being large enough for one DSLR with 80-200 zoom - plus 1-3 extra lenses or flash units - I couldn't even get the camera and lens in there. Additional items were out of the question.<br><br>Lowepro had no UK reps available when I called and Lowepro US flatly refused to give me the email address of their customer services department - and it's not online either. Their claims about any commitment to quality and customer service are questionable. I doubt if they bother looking at the stuff being churned out in China.

This backpack style is much better for your back / posture. Good thinking! Actually this case is pretty good considering most camera bags, are carry over one shoulder.
