If you are hiking to a destination then they are good, simply because of the carrying capacity, but they aren't much fun to work out of. If I am hauling the 6x7 or view camera, I love backpacks becuase of the weight of equipment involved, but I think if you are carrying that much small format equipment, you need to look hard at what you are taking with you. An exception for me is if I am humping the 400 or 600 for any distance, then I like my backpack.
