O'k here we go again on another topic about backpacks. Sorry in advance. So I've been looking for a backpack for my D3s along with the trinity of lens's. The two packs I have do not fit the D3s comfortably.
Although they do fit my D90 with grip. Anyone out there own a bigger body camera and what bag do you use. Every time I see one and check out the specs it lists it capable of holding pro slr with grip. Doesn't really help me out as I know my D3s is bigger than a gripped body.:confused:

I'm looking for a similar pack. I've stopped looking so intently because everything that size just looks awkward for my taste. I've just been using my Osprey momentum and using a camera organizer to sort items inside.

I am going to be in a large city for a few days in October, and I wanted to try this one out:

Shop Hazard 4(R) Evac Photo-Recon(TM) Photo Sling Pack w/ MOLLE - Outdoor, Military, and Pro Gear - We Ship Internationally

My camera body is the same size, and I want to take 3 lenses. This is a different design than a lot of the sling backpacks that I've seen (as well as the two that I have tried). It looks like it might work for a day romp in the city. I have three different Domke's, but I would still like to give this one a try.

1-what packs do you own? so we dont recommend anything similar
2-why would a bag who holds a D90/grip not hold a D3s? same size more or less.maybe the D3s is a bit wider but height should be about the same. I think the D90 is higher is anything,
3-specific brands you like or dont?
4-you plan on getting more gear in the future?
5-you want something for travel?
6-who cares about 6, lets move to 7 :)
7-anything else besides the WA/midrange/tele 2.8 zooms? flashes?
8-I would contact the MFR, tell them what you want and they will recommend the various bags for your needs. then go online and read reviews.
we can all recommend something we have experience with or brands we like, but the MFR can tell you best what the bags are that fit your needs.

The Tamrac backpack I currently walk around with is the 3375. The D3s is taller than the gripped D90 by at least an inch. So that's the issue. I like to keep a lens on the camera so while transporting it it needs to stay upright as opposed to laying flat. The bag will zip closed but it's pretty tight. I usually carry A body, 70-200, 24-70, 14-24, 105 macro. Usually not all four but at least 3, sb910, batteries and a small tripod. The other backpack I have is my store all gear pack. Definitely not something you want to walk around with.
