Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Tamrac 5547 Adventure 7 Photo Backpack (Red/Black)
Customer Review: Watch out for your laptop!
Summary: 3 Stars
I was looking for a bag pack where I could stack my Canon 40D and a couple of lenses and that had a compartment for my Dell Latitude laptop. This backpack seemed to have it all and it does. The space for my photo gear is big enough and has dividers. Above the photo compartment, there is another compartment which I use for my travel papers (tickets, passports, pen), cables, and medicines, shades, book, etc. Behind the two front compartments there's another space to store my laptop. And that's where I do have a big issue. I don't know if it's only me, but in four occasions my laptop dropped out of the slot where you slide the laptop in the compartment. The slot is on the side of the back pack and a zipper closes it. But if you forget to close the zipper (and yes I hear you say: duhhhh), and you pick up your back pack, the laptop falls out on the floor. Since the back pack is dark (black on the side) you can hardly see if the zipper is up or down and the moment you get distracted for a sec and you forget to close the zipper, you have a big problem. Thank God I've got the Dell Complete care since the tech guys have been out here fixing my laptop four times in a row. But if you don't need the laptop compartment, go ahead, it's a great back pack. Customer Review: Perfect for light going

Tamrac makes great photo accessories, and this bag is made consistent with their usual quality. Roomy enough for a dSLR with a prime lens or medium telephoto, there is plenty of other compartments to store extra lenses, filters, etc. The upper compartment, while small, could hold your lunch or a compressible rain jacket. The main compartment has padded, Velcro-attached dividers that can be removed or changed around. There is, IMO, one design flaw: the buckle strap that, when released, lets you tilt the upper compartment back to access the main equipment compartment gets in the way when you want to access the front pocket (see product picture). I solved this by simply adding a small square of black Velcro to the strap and front of the top compartment (you can use the stick-on kind for car dashboards, or sew on the non-adhesive kind); now, when I release the strap, I can stick it up out of the way. What I like most about this backpack is that it is compact (but not too much so), affordable, very well made, and comfortable even when fully packed. True, you have to take it off to access your gear, but that's no biggie in my book. Customer Review: Fantastic Bag!

I've had this bag for about a month now and i love it! it holds my 40d w/ 28-135 lens, 50mm prime lens and the 75-300 in the top compartment when needed. It's incredibly stealthy too! took it on a trip with friends when i first got it, and they didnt even realize it was a camera bag until i pulled out the gear! would definitely buy again! :-DCustomer Review: Day Trip Bag
Summary: 4 Stars
Well built bag that is good for a day trip. Bottom holds all my gear that I need. Only thing missing is a holder for my tripod. Top holds food and an extra jacket or raingear. Would recomend for someone looking for a good day trip bag or a carry on for airplane. If you have a laptop this not the bag.Customer Review: Very Good Medium Sized Backpack

I purchased this backpack for my wife's Olympus 520 system with three extra lenses. The size of the bag is perfect for the system. It has enough utility spaces and rather clean simple design, and also light weight.
