Folks

I want to buy (if it's possible) a Camera Rucksack that can accomodate my A350, 70/210 Minolta Beercan lense and a couple of other smaller lenses as well as being able to hold my 15.4" macbook and charger.

I can see the LowePro stuff everywhere for the camera, but wondered if something existed that can take the camera with compartments for lenses and hold a laptop at the same time.

I am spending a lot of time away with work and want to take the camera but some of the airlines throw a wobbly when I try to get through with a camera case and a laptop bag "oooh that's 2 items sir" etc etc. I ahve had stuff knicked from hold baggage so wanted a solution that can do it all and get slung on my back

Thanks in advance for any help

Lowepro Computrek or Compurover range is what you want. I've got the Computrekker AW, and it's just the job. Holds my 400D, 3 lenses, flashgun etc, and my Dell 630 or MSI Wind, with PSU.

I've got a more normal Lowepro bag for my A350 - can't remember the model but it's one that has the opening towards your back where it's secure - and it's very nice quality and well thought out so their kit gets a thumbs up from me.

I have a Crumpler Camera bag which also has a compartment for a Laptop. I will try and find a link.

I have the LowePro Vertex 100 AW, but you'd probably need the 200 for a 15" Macbook : Lowepro Vertex 200 AW Camera Backpack Review

The 100 is great for me with my 50D, flash and a few lenses. I think the 200 is the largest you can go as 'hand luggage' on a plane? Don't quote me on that though.

I Have a crumpler - 17" laptop compartment, space in top for books & things & fully padded camera compartment in bottom. Been all over the world - no probs getting it on as hand luggage. Bonus is it looks like a normal back pack so less invitation for muggers etc.

7dayshop have the Kata R101 for under £80. Is a good price for a good rucksack. I am looking for something suitable for the A900 with vertical grip at the moment. Needs to be 6" deep at minimum, preferably 7" deep.

I went for a Kata in the end, Kata DR-467 DPS Backpack, which Amazon still have on offer at £46.71 inc VAT (odd price mind)

It fit's all my macbook gear in, the kit lens, 18/55 sigma, 70-210 beercan and the body along with spare battery mem card etc.
