Choose Lowepro Camera Bags for

First, determine how much gear you normally take with you and what other supplies are needed for your outings.
If a simple bag will do the job, then avoid overloading with a larger capacity pack.
If you need a tripod and extra storage for telephoto lenses, then don't try to squeeze it into a bag made for basic gear.
The following reviews highlight some of the Lowepro camera bags available and offer some advice on the best reasons to choose one style over the other.
A versatile Lowepro camera bag option for serious photographers and travelers, the CompuRover combines a handy 17" laptop carrier with a functional photo gear hauler.
For business and holiday trips, the well-padded side access computer pocket allows for quick retrieval for airport security checks.

The bottom camera compartment fits a pro digital SLR with attached lens, plus 2-3 additional lenses up to mid-range zooms and hinges open separately from the other sections. An upper compartment provides additional capacity with a cable management bag, a zip mesh pouch and memory card wallet slots for all your accessories.
On the outside, a drop-down tripod holder secures your extra equipment for easy storage and the All-Weather cover is conveniently tucked underneath the bag for easy pullout when it rains.
With three compartments and fixed locations for gear, the CompuRover tends to be a bit bulky when fully loaded and somewhat heavy for some users. It is also limited as a business bag since the storage is not suitable for notebooks and folders.
For hikers, the tripod assembly has cords that tend to get caught on branches and the bottom compartment zipper is hard to open with a full pack. And the rain cover cannot be employed with the tripod attached.
The main criteria is not to overestimate your capacity needs and determine your preference for hauling a laptop and photo gear versus quick access for photoshooting priority. The Lowepro Slingshot and Fastpack models are better suited for the latter.

For a normal shoulder bag option, the Lowepro Rezo 170 packs just enough photo gear for the day without all the hassles of multiple compartment camera backpacks.
These durable and well-built bags carry an SLR with attached lens, a telephoto lens and 2 or 3 other small lenses for a basic kit setup.

Lowepro Rezo 170 AW
Unlike other wide camera bags, the Rezo 170 has a taller and thin design to make it more comfortable to wear and avoid snagging on the trail or in urban settings.
Perfect for day hikes and trips, the compact size blends capacity with access so you can carry your essential gear all day long. If you need to add gear, the flexible SlipLok attachments give you more options for storage.
A soft, micro fiber cloth built into the main compartment cleans delicate LCD screens and protects against scratches from camera straps. And a memory card pouch is integrated into the reverse-open lid.
For more convenience the bag opens from the back panel for quick access and the All-Weather cover tucks away underneath the bag and is always ready to use.

The Edit series is a family of video bags designed to carry and protect most of the popular and lightweight camcorders plus necessary accessories.
The Edit 130 provides more capacity than the smaller, streamlined bags in the series (Edit 100, 110 and 120) and is a popular choice for parents and travelers who like to keep all their video equipment handy.

For photographers, the bag doubles as telephoto lens carrier when you need to bring along a few longer lenses on your photoshoots.
Made with the same quality and durability expected of Lowepro products, these bags provide excellent protection for your optical equipment. Zippered and Velcro closures keep your gear secure and provide quick access to allow you to concentrate on capturing the moment without delay.
Some of the features include a zippered front pocket with interior mesh organizer, padded interior dividers, two outside pockets and a neoprene grab handle.
On the inside, the brushed tricot material provides a soft surface to prevent LCD screen and lens from scratching and abrasions. Designed as a shoulder bag carry, there are two belt loops on the back of the bag for an effective alternative.
Colors available: Black, Arctic Blue, Red

The Nova AW series provides six models with different size capacities so you can find just the right bag for your SLR camera and accessory needs. These options
make it easier to choose the most appropriate camera bag without too much squeezing or overloading.

Lowepro Nova 160 AW
For total protection, the Nova series includes an All-Weather rain cover that fits over the entire bag and even allows access when in use. This is invaluable for working in inclement weather conditions and when you really need to get the shot.
The Nova 160 is a more compact and portable model that carries a regular SLR camera with attached lenses up to 200-300 mm and two other smaller lenses. As a lightweight option it hauls a basic kit without being too obvious as a camera bag.
Features include plenty of pockets for photographic and personal items, such as dual memory card pockets on the interior of the lid, side mesh pockets and a front accessory pocket. Besides the padded strap, you can use the cushioned grab handle or wear it as a belt pack by using the convenient sewn in loops.
Colors available: Black, Bordeaux Red, Chestnut Brown, Ultramarine Blue
