You can never find the perfect solution in one bag, you’ll more likely end up with a collection of small, medium and large ones by the time you’re done.

So true… I have four camera bags, and they still don’t cover me for all possible scenarios.

You can never find the perfect solution in one bag, you’ll more likely end up with a collection of small, medium and large ones by the time you’re done. Sometimes my shoulder bag is the right size, and sometimes it’s too small or too much weight on one shoulder for heavier lenses.

One other nice thing about a backpack is that it doesn’t scream “Hey, I’m full of camera stuff, steal me!” unless you have one with a big Canon logo on it. Take a felt pen to it if needed. One pro photographer used to carry his big expensive telephoto lens in a beat up Igloo ice chest, complete with a ‘medical specimen’ label. Nobody wanted to mess with that.

Keeping a small lock and cable in your pack is a good idea too.

Regarding your question – well, I don’t have any experience with that particular model, so I can’t say if it’s good or not. But I can tell you one thing for sure, backpacks are very comfortable compared to shoulder bags. Comfy camera bag means more walking, more photos, and happier photographer… so I don’t see why you shouldn’t buy it
