Lowepro Photo Traveler 150 Camera BagMica

I have finally sold my Nikon D3100 and have a Canon 60D with 18-55 and 55-250 lens (delivered by Flipkart 3 weeks ago). Now came the search for the not so perfect but still a great backpack for my gizmo. Requirement: Bag should be able to hold 2 lenses, one body and all other basic accessories. Budget: As I've spent a lot recently on the new DSLR, was not willing to go anything more than 2500. I was initially happy to go with the DigiFlip CB001 priced Rs.1099, but after a lot of research and reading many reviews realized that the quality on DigiFlip was not so good with bad zippers, stiches coming loose etc. Then thought, when you're getting something why compromise on it's quality, especially when you have spent close to a lakh for your gizmos. So as Lowepro has a good reputation, I decided not to go any lower than Lowepro, one thing I understand about this bag is, it is pretty small in size, but still meets my requirement and quality is definitely top notch. It would not be fair if I recommend this to anybody without myself using it at first, but I am still happy with my decision vs my requirement. I received the bag on 5th May '14, was delivered a little late than expected. I was about to leave to work and couldn't really go through the bag much. 1st IMPRESSION: The bag looks very little in size (which I was expecting). 2) No compromise on the bag's quality, good zippers and they are covered. 3) Partitions are satisfying and the Velcro is good. 4) The padding is magnificent and gives me confidence that my camera will be safe in there. 5) The bag doesn't weigh much and I like that, it was measured at 0.58Kgs by the logistics. 5) The bag is just about a feet in height and when I put it on, I couldn't stop laughing for a while as I'm used to big trekking bags/rucksacks and this looked a little funny, but I still like it as it's from Lowepro and looks neat. TIP: Guys there are different sellers for most of the products, this bag was priced Rs.2528 by WS retail and Rs.1400 by White Rabbit, chose wisely. I've seen many people blindly purchasing it from a overpriced seller just because his product shows up first. So please research more. That's all, I need to go back home and try working my camera with the bag as I'm ready to drive to Pondicherry on Friday night, my second trip with my new DSLR. Cheers! Karthik Viswanathan

The bag is really good in terms of quality, although the color is not so appealing. The zipper quality is very good. Very good padding. Interchangeable segments with velcro. The thing is, it is ver smaller than you'd expect, just enough space to fit a body, 2 lens(1 wide & 1 zoom), 1 charger and few bateries. There are 2 smaller sections in the front for any papers or pens or anything small for that matter, that you want to carry. Overall, a very good product but if you are at least as tall as 5.8', this would look funny on your back, but again just personal taste/opinion.

Let me begin by saying I am a professional photographer. I Ordered this Lowepro Photo Traveler 150 (Mica) Camera Bag after looking at pictures on the site and I felt it was big but no, its a very small bag. Just a little bigger than a standard lunch bag. Inspite of its size the quality is unquestionable. Its Lowepro all through. Just dont expect to put in all your gear in just yet. I had to remove some compartments to fit in my gear. It takes little bit of intelligence to do so. I feel Rs.2499/- for a bag of this size is a bit on the more side. There are many other bags available at a lesser price and are bigger than this one. I have written a detailed review of this bag on my blog subliminal whispers. With some intelligence I could cram all these into the bag: 1)Nikon D200 with 18-55 lens 2)Nikon battery charger 3)Nikon batteries – 2 nos 4)Sigma 28-105 lens 5)Sony a200 camera body 6)Sony 18-70 lens 7)Sony battery charger 8)Sony battery In the top panel : 1) Sony HDMI cable 2) A multi card reader 3) Sony power cable 4) Nikon power cable 5) One CF card 6) paddings that I removed from the bag Should you buy it? If you are a hobby shooter and have very less gear, you like Lowepro then yes, this bag is perfect for you, otherwise no. I tried exchanging but flipkart people told me its not possible. So be wise, think long and hard before ordering anything. Better check it out in shops before ordering online. Pros: Quality Cons: really small size Goodluck with your shopping ! Cheers !!!
