Case Logic SLRB100 Backpack Holster
This is a great bag if you are looking for something that is big and will hold lots of camera gear!
The main compartment can be divided into many different arrangements all with plenty of padding. The side pockets are very thin and will only hold thin items like batteries, memory cards, etc.
There is a thin but large compartment between the main compartment and the back straps that will fit a 15" laptop. This would be useful if you wanted to pack all your gear in one bag to transport it. I can't imagine hiking with my large laptop in the bag.
The day holster is very nice! I've seen these before but never used one. The concept is simple, the holster is very light and it has a ring that fits onto the strap of your camera. Because it is so lightweight it can hang from your camera strap while you use your camera--and yet the holster is right there on the strap to easily put the camera in when you are not using it. The amount of protection from the day holster falls short of what a regular case would do--but it would protect again some scratches, slight bumps, and it would cut down on dust if you were in a dusty area.
I currently use a slightly smaller Case Logic DCB-308 Camera Sling which I love. I've gotten spoiled on how easy it is to access the camera pocket on that bag--I can just swing the sling around to the front and easily unzip the pocket to remove my camera. Compared to the sling pack this one, with the camera pocket on the top back, isn't as convenient so I still plan on using the sling bag for everyday use. However, when I need a LARGE bag to carry everything--this is the one I'll use.

BalasHapusWhat a camera bag!!! This might be the end all, be all of backpack style camera bags. Usually, I prefer sling bags. I was never big on backpacks because I'm not the biggest person around and had enough of backpacks in high school. This Case Logic DSLR backpack is fantastic, though! I really do love it!!! It has plenty of storage space that is not only well padded, but also adjustable! The center of the bag is awesome. It has so many compartiments that you can move to your hearts content. If you need more space for something larger than a lens, you have it. If all you want to do is house lenses, you have that, too!
Here's a quick run down of what his has aka what I love:
-TONS of pockets or compartments for whatever you'd like to store.
- a padded laptop friendly pocket!!!
- a nifty compartment that allows you to place your camera in the bag at the perfect angle to get it out quickly.
- a hard bottom makes this stay upright and protects from water or other liquidy things you may accidentally place this on.
- enough padding that I feel my camera is safe.
- comfortable on my back and so far, not too heavy!
- zippers are smooth.
The day holster is fantastic. It really is. It's a must have for any DSLR owner, I think! It's super simple to set up and very handy.
Attached to this review is a short video I put together with shots of this camera case. It's not very well shot or edited, but hopefully it gives you an idea of what this is. I love this and can't wait to have a real reason to take it out for a spin!!!
I can easily carry a 15" MacBook Pro (plus charger and mouse), my Canon SLR, a few lenses, a flash or two, and other miscellaneous gear in comfort with a TON of room to spare.
BalasHapusThe pull-out travel case is also very nice... I can grab the camera/case and run out the door when I don't need the other stuff with me. Perfect.
The top SLR "hammock" that Case Logic uses is my favorite of just about any case. The SLR is easy to grab and use and I love the way the camera looks when it sits in there.
The shoulder straps are comfortable, even when the case is loaded with stuff, and I love all the thought Case Logic put in to small things like securing the zippers with small velcro straps and giving limited access to internal pockets (with the same small velcro straps).
I often have trouble with lugging my Nikon DSLR around, along with preschooler gear. Granted this pack is meant to hold all of your camera equipment (and it does hold all of mine... which isn't much), but it has room enough to pack in other items for a day trip for photographing with your kiddo. Couldn't double for a diaper bag, really, but with an older little one you're good.
BalasHapusI especially enjoy having the smaller holster. It's harder than you might think to find a decent DSLR cover that isn't a struggle to get your camera in and out of.
I waited to review this until I went on a longish trip. Although I'm not anywhere near a professional or even an amateur photographer status, I love to take pictures and generally bring three or more cameras with me on trips.
BalasHapusThis bag was marvelous to travel with. I was able to fit my three cameras that I generally take in the bag along with my Kindle, Kindle Fire, and iPhone with their corresponding cords, cards and accessories. I was also able to fit a bird book, notebook, assorted pens/pencils, papers, toiletries and a change of socks/underwear in case my checked luggage was lost or stranded.
The bag has several padded velcro compartments which allows you to configure your packing as a carry on for a trip or to configure it to be totally devoted to your photographic efforts. Case Logic makes tough, durable, versatile products and this backpack is no exception.
One of the things I really love about it is the handle on top. I have several backpacks without handles and there are times when you want to grab a backpack, but have to grab the straps. For me the handle is a real plus. It just gives the bag a little more versatility when traveling.
The bag is well padded and designed to have the contents protected as well as withstand moderate wear and tear that traveling provides--i.e., stuffing your bag in an overhead or under the seat etc. I spent two weeks overseas with this bag along with a small checked rolling bag and another light weight backpack from Eagle River that held a change of clothes and some odds and ends. Once on the trip I was able to use the Case Logic backpack as my day pack and pack the change of clothes and the lightweight backpack going down to two bags. If I just needed the light weight backpack, I was able to stow the Kindles and cameras etc. in the hotel safe.
Case Logic SLRB100 DSLR Backpack is a large backpack that will fit your DSLR attached with a long f2.8 lens (e.g. 70-200mm), several additional lenses and accessories. The bag feels solid with enough padding to provide protection to the camera and lenses stored but it is not too bulky. This bag also have space for a laptop which is convenient so you don't need to carry a separate bag for your laptop. My only wish is that this bag can fit or designed for 2 cameras. Having said that, I am able to squeeze another camera body in the bag if I don't include the big f2.8 zoom lens in the bag.
BalasHapusThe included day holster bag/pouch is useful for protecting the camera during the day use or as to provide additional padding for the camera (or can be used to store/carry an additional camera). Overall, this is a very nice and useful DSLR camera backpack.

I never thought I'd fall in love with a backpack, but this beautifully crafted black and goldrod SLR travel pack has won my heart. It's just so cleverly designed with fully adjustable, padded compartments to hold your camera in a handy, suspended holster above other, you-build-em enclosures for additional lenses, flash, charger, CF card, and varied accessories.
BalasHapusThis is all located in a roomy (approximately 17" high by 12" wide by 7" deep) zippered compartment at the front of the pack that comes with 11 goldenrod felt-covered pads and dividers edged in Velco to build anywhere from zero to ten different cubbies for your gear. Not only is it fun to stick the Velco'd edges to the bright gold felt in different configurations; it's also incredibly handy and versatile. If you want, you can take all the dividers out and just have a big open-space backpack for clothes, food, and whatever else you want to carry. Alternately, you can use some of the dividers for snug holders for your camera gear and leave some out so that you can secure larger items like notebooks, binoculars, or a lunchbox.
The backpack also comes with a large, padded rear compartment that can hold a 16" laptop or a 17" MacBook Pro. There's another long, zippered compartment on the side and an 8" by 7 1/2" one on the front with net pockets and slots for pencils and pens, plus side straps to carry a tripod.
A "patent pending hammock system" suspends your SLR in its holster at the top of the pack, giving it great impact protection. It's neat the way you can whip the camera out, put the the strap round your neck, and let the holster hang there as you take pictures. The holster's light and very handy with a pocket inside for the lens cap. The camera rests against your body, shielded from bumps and scratches. The hostler padding is only about a quarter-inch thick so it's protective but not super heavy-duty or watertight. We keep our camera in its fitted leather case for additional protection.
With its thick, water resistant base and padded adjustable straps, this backpack is sturdy, comfortable, and perfect for travel or day use. Just looking at it makes me want pack up and hit the road. It's the kind of object I could see giving a name and sharing years of adventure with.
