Review of the Canon Digital Backpack. Take a closer look at the Canon Digital Backpack pictured here. Before you rush out to your regular dealer and place an order for one right away, there are a few things you have to consider first. First, its availability differs from one market to another where Canon is present. Second, you may not get to buy it either even if you have made known your interest to your regular dealer. This gets more interesting, doesn't it? Canon Digital Backpack Double zippered and a carrying handle     Extra tough shoulder carrying strap Backpack harness that can be stored away     Large, front pocket for stationary and small objects   This Canon Digital Backpack was meant as a one-off promotional item to be given away to all professional users of EOS System covering the Summer Olympic Games at Sydney 2000. These professionals, especially those who with EOS D2000 and EOS D30 digital cameras, found the Canon Digital Backpack a real pleasure to use. The excitement about this bag would have ended there at the Olympics. But a bag this good wouldn't have gone unnoticed for long, especially when these photographers showed it to their colleagues the moment they got home from the Games. Soon, calls were made to the respective Canon offices in their countries asking about the availability of the Digital backpack. In a word - YES. Canon Malaysia is among those that have brought in the Digital Backpack for sale to professional photographers in Malaysia - and it is available through its network of dealers nationwide. For other Canon EOS users from other countries, you can try inquiring from your respective Canon offices about its availability. It is spacious enough to fit an analog or digital version EOS-1 series body w/booster as well as several EF-L series zoom lenses, an EF 1.4x or 2x and a Canon Speedlite plus a spare camera body in its main compartment. The other compartment is used to store a laptop computer. It comes complete with a shoulder strap as well as a backpack harness that can be stored away when not in use. All zippers are dual format and there are two carrying handles, one each for horizontal and vertical carrying comfort. The internals in both compartments are well-padded. And for the main compartment, the user can customize the internals to fit his/her requirements. It can even fit an EF 300mm f/2.8L USM (or IS type) telephoto if needed. Doing so means there will be less space for other lenses to fit into the compartment. << Back to Main . 1 . 2 .
