Lowepro Fastpack 250 Review


 Monday, September 7th, 2009
 
I decided to replace my Kata DR-467 with a Lowepro Fastpack 250. This new bag is rugged, has excellent padding and a convenient side accessible camera compartment. Below are the good and bad features of the bag as well as a video review. Enjoy.

Positives

  • Side Access - convenient access to camera without removing the pack
  • Good Padding - excellent padding especially along the back
  • Flexible Storage - modular storage area can accommodate a large number of arrangements
  • Stylish - while not the main selling point of this bag, it doesn't look bad or conspicuous
  • Lots of Space - this bag can hold a lot between the two storage areas. Very nice
  • Comfort - this bag is comfortable even with a large load

Negaitves

  • Tripod Holder - a strap on the side to attach a tripod would be useful
  • Plateau Effect - the bag is a little deep, but that is a must given the size of a camera with battery grip
  • Attachment Points - having ways to attach straps or accessories would be nice
  • Bright Lining - the Kata's bright yellow lining made gear more noticeable than the light gray of this bag

Summary



This is a good bag, sturdy and functional. I don't see myself needing another bag for quite some time and this will serve me well in upcoming photo trips. I recommend this bag to anyone who needs a photography day pack.
