Canon Deluxe Backpack 200EG

Canon Deluxe Backpack 200EG User Reviews

Almost perfect
“This is a great bag. It can hold alot. I don’t have alot of camera equipment yet.. just a digital SLR and a couple lenses… so I also carry chargers and extras in the main compartment. The moveable dividers have worked great to accomodate everything. They are easy to move around so that everything has a perfect storage spot. The padding all around is good. It is really comfortable to carry on my back. I took it hiking and almost didn’t know it was there. There are some extra pockets on the inside that are good for things you don’t need often or in a hurry. The outside pockets are better for that stuff. I put my cell phone and some other things in those pockets too. And there is a really great big pocket that I used to keep a notebook and some photography homework.” – By Christi Lynn

Student-Type backpack, decent for the price
“I admit it– I bought this backpack for two main reasons. The first was that it looked like I could shove a water bottle into one of those side pouches. The second is because I could shove a normal sized notebook into that large front pocket. Neither is *exactly* true. I can fit a waterbottle in this thing, but that’s because I put it on in the webbing on the front. But my wallet fits perfectly in that side pocket, as well as my cell phone. The large front pocket won’t hold a notebook computer unless it’s a *small* notebook computer — smaller then my fairly normal sized toshiba. But it will fit a comp book, two paperbacks, or a 1 inch binder. It could probably even fit a small text book and a comp book, which makes it great for a photography class. “ – By ankashai

good bag can be made better for a few bucks
“first, get yourself a 40 inch long, 1 inch wide webbing lashing strap, with a quick release buckle on the end. should be about 2 bucks. use that to wrap the bag through the lashing anchors on the sides of the bag. this acts as a very good compression strap, and gives you an added measure of security. close the bag with the zippers below the strap, and it’s harder for would be thieves to open your bag while you are carrying it. it also allows you to open the top half of the bag, and grab your camera without letting the other contents of the bag fall out. since the top of the backpack is cut inwards, the camera is fairly easy to grab for those quick shots. not as fast as a messenger bag, but better than having to put your bag on the ground to get your camera out.” – By D.

Pure and simple, this is the best camera bag I’ve ever owned
“It’s an extremely well-thought-out bag, and does exactly what I wanted it to. By moving and re-bending some of the dividers, I have been able to carry my EOS 10D edgewise, with the lens on…AND with a Stroboframe Press-T installed with a 420EX speedlight on top with coil-cord connected…ready to use in one grab, with “no assembly required,” with the base of the camera at the bottom of the bag and the flash at the top for perfect weight distribution. And there’s still room for charger, other lenses, accessories in the main body, to say nothing of the outer compartments and pouches for your other “junk” like cell phone, iPod, GPS and pocket digicam” – By Michael J.

great camera bag at a great price
“i got this item a few months ago and what a deal. i looked around for other camera backpacks, and was shocked to find some of them costing 100s of dollars. come on its a back pack with some velcro straps. so when i found the canon i was very pleased. i was able to fit my 20D with Bg-e2 grip still attached, 4 lens and lots of other parts in this pack with no problems. it looks nice and the build quality is very good. lots of straps for other stuff, its soft and padded in the right places. for the money is one of the best out there. “ – By Patrick E.

Beware of Zipper
“Beware of the zippers! DO NOT close both zippers to the top of this bag because they will open like a banana peel and expose all of your equipment. On of my lenses fell out and crashed into the ground where it broke in two and the snow got inside the pieces. Luckily it was one of my less expensive lenses, but still a loss. Make sure you close the zippers to either side and/or hook them together with a small clasp to ensure this does not happen to you! For the price it’s a great bag. It holds quite a bit for it’s size, as well. I’ve tried to use it to carry my Bogen tripod and I found it too clumsy…but it’s okay because I usually carry the tripod on my shoulder so I’m ready.” – By jen_u_win

Great Features and Value
“The Canon bag is easy access; the camera sits right at the top, and you can remove it without having to totally open the bag up. Another thing I find nice is the amount of useable space. A couple more dividers would be nice, but I can use the leftovers from my previous bag if needed. In the main compartment, I can fit my Drebel body, with 28-105 attached, 28-300, 128mm prime, 16mm zenitar, 8mm Peleng, 50mm Takumar prime, 18-55 kit lens, flash, cheapo slave flash, and two coversion lenses (.24 wide angle, and 1.5 tele – both are junk, but are keen for that lensbaby effect). After all that, I still have a little space leftover for another lens – or battery and charger, or pack of smokes. I could probably even free up some more space if I rearranged the dividers, or leave a couple lenses behind and pack another body. That’s just the main compartment.” – By Jerry A. Hazard

Great bag that holds everything
“I am impressed. It was about 1/2 the price of my LowePro bag. Its very well designed with lots of compartments, padding, external straps and quality materials. It holds everything that was in my other bag and I still have more room. I’ve got a Canon 20D with BGE2 battery grip, 3 zoom lenses (one a telephoto), a Canon 580EX flash, a Slik mini tripod, lens hoods for all the lenses, and a large assortment of filters for all the lenses all inside the main compartment. External compartments hold everything else like spare battery packs, chargers, cables, etc. Its got straps on the bottom to carry my tripod which my old bag didn’t have. Its got other straps for carrying all kinds of stuff. And I carry bag this much comfortably.” – By R. Wolfinger
