Tamrac 5546 Adventure 6 Photo Backpack (Gray/Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've read a few bad reviews stating that this bag is too small, I disagree and I had to write a review myself. I was looking for a small, light backpack that fits my equipment snug and isn't loose and bulky. With a bigger bag, you're equipment shakes all around the back when you're walking. I don't need a student size backpack because I'm not going back to school and I'm not going to put textbooks in it!! This backpack has everything that I need.
Capacity:
I am able to fit my Nikon D50 w/ 28-200mm lens and neoprene strap attached, 18-55mm lens, and 50mm 1.8 lens in the main compartment. There is STILL room left for 2 medium size lenses or 1 lens and a flash. There is a zipper pocket in front of the bag for accesories. I am able to fit all of my accesories. There is also a large compartment above the camera bag for non camera stuff (Small shirt, sunglasses, water bottle) There are 2 more mesh pockets that stick out of the side of the bag and are not covered.
Comfort:
The backback is comfortable on one shoulder or two.Ot has thick non slip padding on the shoulder straps. It also has a horizontal strap to connect the 2 straps for a more secure fit. I don't use it.
Quick and Easy Access:
If you have it on one shoulder you can swing it around and get quick access to the camera compartment for that quick shot. Much like a sling style bag. I originally wanted a sling backpack like the Tamrac Velocity 7 or Lowepro Sling Shot 200, but the Adventure 6 is more comfortable like a regular backpack.
Now keep in mind that the Nikon D50 is one of the smaller DSLR's, and I don't have any 400mm or 500mm telephoto lenses.

Bottom line:
If you have a D50, D70, Rebel or anything camera of that size + 3 lenses and accesories and are looking for a lightweight backpack for about $50, then this is an excellent backpack. If you want you want a REGULAR "Student" size backpack, you might want to look at the Adventure 7 for $8 more. If you have a large size DSLR then buy the 7 series. If you want to carry around your arsenal of 10 lenses then buy one of those pro backpacks. You won't have quick access to the camera like this bag, though. I'm happy with the Tamrac Adventure 6 for now.
