A backpack recommendation

I've been looking for some while now for a "day-bag" which doesn't shout camera bag, isn't too heavy and has quick access to the camera body.


Well I think I may just have found the ideal bag for my needs - the Lowepro Compuday photo 250, I bought it from SRS last week and I'm very pleased with it. It doesn't have the traditional padded camera section but has a unique access flap together with loads of pockets and a reasonable amount of personal storage space - it's very light and very discrete, especially with the Lowepro badges removed. The access flap even fits my K5 with 12-24 attached together with the pretty sizeable lens hood, the first bag I've had that managed it.

If you're looking for a small backpack when out & about definitely make sure you give this one a look!!

Nice recommendation Simon, I use Compuday Pack - slim and light, well padded but unfortunately it does not allow easy access to the camera.

The Kata looks a decent option too, similiar size - what I really like about the Lowepro though is this side pocket for the camera (apologies for the poor photo quality).
