2. Tamrac Expedition 5 Model 5575 backpack for camera
Editors' rating: 8.3
The good: Solid construction as camera bags go; plenty of padding; comfortable, easy to adjust harness; rain flaps over zippers; big enough for pro lenses; deep enough for pro SLR bodies.
The bad: The textured grip on the handle is slightly uncomfortable when the pack is loaded with heavy gear; no convenient place for a cell phone; no laptop compartment.
The bottom line: While most camera backpacks tend to be very large, this midsize backpack is just right for non-pros who want to bring along a larger telephoto lens, as well as flashes and some other gear.
