Crumpler or Lowepro?

Saabo King · 1st December 2007

Need a laptop/camera back pack for me 40D(with grip) and 17-40mm lens.

Cannot decide between the Crumpler Keystone or Lowepro CompuTrekker AW.

Any suggestions?

That's all?

Both bags are overkill for your gear.

Ok. Forgot to include my EX 580, 28-105mm, 50mm.

Also my 12" laptop. And I intend to carry them for all my overseas trips.

I travel 80% of my time for work.

Both will fit your gear comfortably. If you want the extra security when carrying the bag, go for the Crumpler, as its zippers are at the back of the bag (near to your back) making it impossible for someone else to open your bag behind you when you're carrying it.

Was looking for a laptop/camera back pack for my 40D + 17-40mmL and 2 more smaller lens.

Was at OP looking for the Computrekker AW but find it too big. The friendly sales guy recommended the Kata Prism U ($148).

The question I have is whether this space age looking bag can really "protect" our cameras. Also I cannot imagine how my gears will be positioned inside? Dam complicated.

Any advice?
