No experience with the Lowepro, but I have a Tamrac Zuma 7 that works
well for me.

I anticipate that it will be many days of walking and biking around, and I'm
thinking I might want something more comfortable/convenient than a standard
camera bag -- not only because they have just the one strap so they're always
hanging off of a shoulder (or over your neck), but also think it might be
convenient to be able to carry a windbreaker, or water bottle, or other
sundries with me.
I don't picture carrying a LOT of camera gear with me - but I do anticipate wanting
at least one alternate/telephoto lens for the K5 (16-50 is my daily lens) with me,
as well as the P&S and other stuff. NOT a laptop, not a lot of flash gear, not
a tripod.
Searching around Amazon, I've come across the Lowepro "Fastpack 200" (not the newer 250)
and it seems like just the ticket. A bit of camera gear in the bottom section, and "regular
stuff" up top.
It looks like access to the innards of the bag is relatively straightforward when you
need to root around for extra gear (most backpacks make you take them off and lay them
carefully on the ground before opening them up), and I like the "quick access"
for pulling out the camera/lens combo if you've been walking around with the camera
stowed.
Has anyone here used these, or anything similar to them? Good? Bad?
Suggestions?
