Product Description
Though it doesn't look like a camera bag, the Velocity 7x - Photo Sling Pack is a unique, ultra-functional pack that carries like a backpack, but swings around to the front for quick access to an SLR with a 6" lens attached and a couple additional lenses. Inside the main compartment, the camera with lens attached is suspended on two vertical, foam-padded dividers. The secure, zippered Quick Flip Top opens away from the body for fast and convenient access to camera gear. A well-padded sling strap comfortably distributes the weight, but need not be removed to quickly access photo equipment. A Tuck-A-Way waist belt allows the pack to be used while hiking, biking or doing other activities. The front pocket has organizer pockets inside to keep a mobile phone, PDA or photo accessories within easy reach. It also features Tamrac's U.S.-patented Memory & Battery Management System that uses red flags to identify available memory cards and batteries from ones that are used up. A pocket inside the lid stores filters and lens caps. This pack is also customizable with Tamrac's Modular Accessory System components.

 Larger than some, but not large enough September 24, 2008
Jordan Ryan (Torrance, CA)
I've got a good deal of photography equipment, and while I was looking for a large bag, this seemed to have been the largest. It's not. Unfortunately, I should have made the purchase in person so I could ensure fitting all of my equipment in the bag. I suggest not purchasing online, or at least checking this product out in the store first and then coming here if the price is better.

Awesome Camera Bag September 4, 2008

This is a great camera bag. It is big enough for your camera, an extra lens and your charger. There is room in the front to carry extra memory cards, a media card reader and your wireless remote control.
This things hurts my neck and back. August 23, 2008

Pro's:
-It beats carrying around a duffel bag
-It's small, so its unobtrusive.
-It's light.
-High quality materials and rugged construction.
Con's
-While this bag theoretically has 7 sections in the main storage compartment, in my experience three of these is taken up by my Nikon D80 with a 18-135mm lens. Then my whopping 12-24mm Tokina wide angle takes up several more spaces. Sure, I could probably squeeze one or two small prime lenses in there, but who wants to rummage around for them? Especially when you have some expensive gear laying in there.
-The single swing around strap can be nice in some situations, but what most reviewers have not pointed out is the strain it can place on your back and neck. If you carry this bag around for an hour or two, chances are that you are going to experience the strain that several pounds of gear can exert on your neck through that strap.
For me, this amount of strain is unacceptable. While a two strap bag will be a bit slower, two straps will evenly distribute the weight of your gear across both shoulders.
My advice:
Buy this bag from store with a liberal return policy. Load it up with your photographic equipment and go shopping or hiking- just carry it for a few hours. If it doesn't strain you and you don't mind the relatively small size, keep it and enjoy. If does strain you get rid of it and buy a bag with two thickly padded straps.
Good luck and happy shooting.

This is my 3rd camera bag for my Nikon D60. First bag was the Nikon bag that came with the kit, that bag was too bulky. Second bag was the Kata H10, that bag was way too small.
The Tamrac Velocity 7x fits the D60 with 18-55mm VR lens attached and the 55-22mm VR lens on one side with room for a flash, or other misc. equipment on the other side (I have the lens hood, lens caps and the charger here). The front pocket hold filters, cards, etc. with easy access.
The strap would be much more comfortable if it had a padding the entire length of the strap. Having the top open away from you makes it easy to take the camera out, could be a little bigger though.
Overall, if you want a small compact bag for your DSLR the Velocity series of bags could be the bag for you!
