I love the bag! I carry a D-80, 3 lenses and a flash, a rain protector for the camera, 4 filters, a cleaning kit, and spare batteries, and on top my girlfriend shoves her purse with make up in there also! I usually use the laptop compartment for my camelback. The bag isn't huge and some pockets are a hard to organize things in with huge hands, but for a day around the city I love it. The monopod is a very nice bonus, I would rate it with 4 stars, but since its free! Its sturdy to allow a stop or two slower shutter speed!

This is a great bag. It has just the right amount of adjustable compartments, pockets, and spaces. It fits a 15" MacBook Pro great. I love the yellow interior - it just makes finding all the little items so much easier. My only issue is that I could not fit my Canon 40D with the 70-200 lens attached into the camera compartment. The lens and the camera fit separately, but they just would not fit in the lower compartment attached.

I am very happy with my purchase. I'll outline the good and to be improved below. I rated it 4 stars because of the areas to improve.

Kata DR467:
Good:
-Excellent construction and materials.
-This bag carries well and looks great.-
-It is stylish enough for business meetings.-
-The laptop pocket is well protected and a good size.
-Yellow interior is truly very visible and a nice feature.

To be Improved:
-the entire camera compartment should be lined with velco to allow unlimited adjustability. The camera/lens dividers have very limited adjustability and as such, my D700 with any lens is hard to fit and difficult to accommodate one more or even just a flash.
-The water bottle holder is basically a joke as it will fit only very small bottles. This needs to be enlarged to accommodate at least .5 liters and ideally 1 liter bottles. Furthermore, there should one on both sides, after all, should we go dehydrated in exchange for carrying a small tripod?
-It would be nice if the laptop compartment had a pocket for carrying papers/file folders.

Manfrotto 790B: surprisingly light, compact when collapsed and sturdy. Well made, constructed, good clip locks for each of the four sections. Nice mounting point with cover. This works very well when you don't want to take a full tripod of the time to set one up.

I got this bag with the free tripod. The tripod is actually a pretty nice sturdy one. The bag itself is top notch. I can carry my laptop, Camera, extra lenses, and accessories. If you plan to carry more than one camera, you will probably need another take along. The build quality on this bag is great and it is comfortable to wear. Well designed product! One of my favorite things! p.s the 467 is the bigger bag.... I think the smaller is the 465...

I almost never write reviews, but wanted to recommend this bag to anyone who wants a bag for dslr + laptop. I have a 14.1" Dell, Olympus E-520 + 14-42mm, 40-150mm, and an old Nikon 50mm. It holds all of this easily plus the following accesories: 3 filters, multi-card reader, battery charger, extra battery, a small tripod, camera remote, extra CF cards. In the camera compartment, there's easily room for another lens and/or a flash. And there's still room for other misc. items in the top compartment.

But the thing I really like is how comfortable and light the bag feels while being very sturdy.

I think it's a great deal even without the free monopod, which is also very well made.

Highly recommended.
