Lowepro Fastpack 250 Camera Bag Review

With the CompuDaypack line of SLR and laptop bags from a few years back, Lowepro pioneered the first designs for a backpack that can transport both camera equipment and a notebook computer. While the CompuDaypack was original, it was heavily criticized for its lower camera compartment that wasn't easy to access. Photographers require quick retrieval of their equipment whenever a photo opportunity arrives. Learning from this first attempt, Lowepro's newest offerings � the Fastpack series � moves the access point to the side of the bag alloying you to quickly grab your gear and go.

On the surface the look and feel of the Fastpack 250 is quite conventional and downright maybe even a little bland, but look a little deeper and you'll find the Fastpack offers a unique approach to the traditional camera or laptop backpack.

Design and Construction

Lowepro's Fastpack bags come in two sizes, with the smaller 250 that we used for this review recommended for larger semi-pro and pro-sized DSLRs and laptops with up to 15.4-inch screen. The larger Fastpack 350 is designed for photographers using larger lenses and holds 17-inch widescreen notebooks. In both cases, the Fastpack has a typical backpack profile, with the laptop storage inside a side-entry pocket behind the back pad and the side-entry camera compartment located at the bottom of the bag.
