Burton Zoom Dslr Camera Backpack Review

I've been in need of a proper shooting bag for years. I've had a nice Burton camera backpack, and I love it, but not meant for shooting events. Plenty of space for camera and a few lens', plus lots of room for whatever else.

Searched high and low to replace my old Burton backpack. I appreciated it and traveled the world with it. Now I am excited to start my journeys with my Samsonite.

Great Camera Backpack, actually the best I have purchased for a small backpack, great construction, I had fit a DSLR with 2 medium size zoom lens, 2 flash units, filters, batteries, SD cards, a gray card and still have space for a few small items or papers. It also come with a rain coat.

I'm using this for my Zoom set up with a DSLR camera. It's working absolutely perfectly.

I've owned many bags over 15 years of doing this. This might be my favorite. I'm sad that Burton no longer makes a camera bag and I wasn't in love with the other camera brands. This one is really well thought out love the pockets are smart the handle is great the straps are comfortable. Great material. Feels well made and it's going to last which is good because I like it.

Excellent and light backpack to transport DSLR camera, lenses and accesories.

perfect for H4N ZOOM for DSLR user.

I've been doing research on camera backpack for a week and stayed in a camera store for an afternoon and finally decided to buy this. It is one of very few bags that meet these requirements: - Lightweight ( 3lb). - Fits a 13 laptop. - Fits a DSLR + a mirrorless camera + 6 lenses in various sizes. - Not exaggeratively large. This backpack fits my Canon DSLR, Sony mirrorless, and 6 lenses in different sizes. If I arrange it more tightly, it can even fit an additional 70-200 f/4 telephoto lens. A 13 laptop or 12.9 iPad Pro fits neatly. In addition, it has another dedicated slot for 9.7 iPad. I haven't carried it outdoors, but I can foresee that the accessibility may not be as good as other bags that have side and back doors. But those bags are usually more expensive and heavier.

I got this for a 5 night 45 mile backpack trip in the High Sierra so I could get DSLR shots while hiking, not just at camp. It worked great and did not bounce around with the Nikon D750 and 18-35mm G lens I was using. It was a bit difficult to attach it to my full sized backpack strap but it did go on and then was secure for the whole trip. I was using hiking poles and the camera did not get in the way of the poleing motion. I even kept it attached while climbing over boulders on some off-trail passes. My only negative is that the sliding/snapping action did get less smooth after a few days. This could be due to tiny chips in the finish after sliding it in over and over. This is a must have for backpacking with a DSLR. I've been on lots of trips where my big camera sits in my pack all day and only gets used at camp or maybe at lunch and I have a point and shoot in my pocket for quick shots while on the move. I can now get DSLR shots while hiking and even faster than pulling a small camera or phone out of my pocket. The clip is a game changer for hiking and backpacking, the only problem is now I have even more shots to sort through.

I love this bag. Its just the right size for a DSLR with mounted lens plus an extra lens/mini tripod or whatever little items you want to throw in there. I needed something I could hike and bike with but that was smaller than a backpack and easier/quicker to access. I wear it hands free, over my head and diagonally across my shoulder/neck and under my arm. I usually have it resting across my left chest with the lens pointing down so I can unzip and pull out the camera very easily and quickly and also place it back in. I have a bunch of gear in my camera backpack and was always hesitant to bring it on day trips or even abroad because I didn't want to lug all this stuff around with me so the end result was that I was never bringing my DSLR with me anywhere. With this bag I bring a minimal set up that covers quick, on the fly shooting so I end up actually using my DSLR over my iPhone, which obviously has much better lenses. It's not heavy or an obstruction when running, biking, kayaking, skateboarding down the street, etc. Its great.
