Review on Waterproof Camera Backpack, BAGSMAR DSLR Camera Bag Backpack with Anti-Theft Features, Ideal for Photographers, Fits up to 15" Laptop with Rain Cover, in Pink by Jason Lockwood

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A great bag for a medium sized camera that doubles as a bag for non-camera items.

In addition, this camera case worked well. Brought to Universal Studios (FL) for testing. Advantages: stylish and practical functionality. The top half with drawstring worked well. The camera part in the bottom half worked just as well. For my purposes on this trip, I only took the camera and one lens with me, so I didn't need any additional compartments. (I will definitely use them on future trips). The quick access sidebar was great. Being able to pull out the camera without opening the main camera panel was really helpful. Cons: I wish the camera could be accessible from the left side of the bag. (It's on the right). Being right-handed, I often sling the bag over my right shoulder and lower it in front of me. Accessing the camera from the wrong side so the whole bag had to be removed. (Minor issue but my other bags have access to the camera on the other side so by folding the bag forward I can easily access the camera without removing the bag.) I'll try to see if I can try to carry it on my left shoulder. The second issue was that the shoulder strap slipped completely through the buckle multiple times causing my bag to slide off. The strap material was a bit slippery and I think that may have contributed. I ended up tying the extra strap material around me to keep it from slipping off. However, now I have no play to adjust the straps when worn. When I get home from my trip I grab some velcro straps to wrap the loose end, that should take care of it. Third, the top flap is magnetized behind a fake buckle. I liked this feature as I didn't have to struggle with the buckle to get in, but I have encountered instances where the top flap caught on something small and burst open. I just made sure the strings were always tight, but it was a bit annoying at times. Also, using a magnet made it impossible to stuff too many things into the top or it would come loose. Last problem: no external zippered pockets with quick access. There are side pockets which are great for sunglasses and feel secure. I just like the little zippered pockets where I can store small loose items and not worry about them falling out. Just a preference on my part. In general. I would recommend this bag as a medium sized camera bag. For me it worked perfectly for a camera bag/backpack combo. I had a hard time finding a bag like this. It's usually all "camera" with no room for a jacket, sweatshirt, or other travel gear. Oh, forget the laptop slot on the back of the back. Works perfectly! Fits perfectly with my iPad Pro with its keyboard inside. This bag is perfect for my medium sized bag needs. As a reminder, I have several other camera bags, ranging from large ones that hold all my accessories to small shoulder bags that only fit the camera and an extra lens. that they fall out.
