I bought this camera backpack/sling bag to replace my sling bag. The main reason for the change was to go from a one strap to a two strap bag to put less stress on my shoulder. The camera/ lens storage compartment is similar to my sling bag which is a plus for me. The compartments of this backpack are well designed for maximum storage. The backpack feels well balanced on my back, and the shoulder straps are durable feeling comfortable on my shoulders. The magnetic snaps on the straps are easy to to snap and unsnap and stay in place fairly well.For the most part, the backpack is designed well; however, I have three suggestions to make it better, yet staying cost effective. First is to reinforce the lifting handle for added bag support, as it is a little flimsy when lifting or moving the bag when the it is full of gear. Second is to improve the leatherette strap quality as they look and feel a little less quality than the backpack itself. Third is to increase the adjustability of the divider separating the camera/lens compartment from the upper storage compartment so that a little more room is available in the camera/ lens compartment.as needed.
