A messenger bag for non-serious photographers
Capacity: Fully loaded, it holds the following stuffs: Thinkpad x60s laptop with adapter; Canon 5D with EF 28-70 Lens, a Canon 16-35 Lens, a Canon EF 70-200 F2.8 lens, a Canon 10x30 IS binocular; a EX 580 II flash with pouch.
Size: Think of the capacity, it is of a rather small size.
Belt system: Since the bag is soft - compared with Lowepro / Tamrac single shoulder bags, I will comfortable when it's on my shoulder. If you fully load the capacity, it's pain anyway.
Workmanship and quality: Unfortunately, the insider fabric is cheap and easy to worn out. Workmanship is also poor, strings are bad, sewing is worse, it is in the bottom 20% of made-in-china bags.
Cushion and organization: This is another big problem. The paddings are not supportive, only a soft pouch inside the main bag, which hold a dslr with a lens. Lenses and camera will be loosely placed inside the bag and their hitting each other is a must. If I give a 85-90 score to a lowepro / tamrac bag on a 100 scale, this one is 60-65.
Bottom line: NG offers 5 year warranty - I seriously doubt if this bag could last for more than a year if you used it once a week. Therefore, I believe NG will grant the warranty in a tricky way. If you are a serious photographer, this is a bag you should stay away. I paid $60 for it and I still felt I was robbed.
Perfect for lugging around your gadgets
This bag, though specified as medium, is kinda huge for my frame. I'm a girl so I guess the larger one would drown me alive. There's also the extra weight due to the metal rings for attachment of tripods, umbrellas, or whatever you have in mind.
However, what I mostly love about this bag is that this fits my HP Pavilion tx2000 like a glove. I don't have to add those laptop sleeves since the padding is enough to provide cushion for whatever impact is thrown at the bag. The camera case is removable so if I wish to leave my kit at home, I could remove it and "deflate" the bag. The extra spaces for mp3 players, cellphones, films, flash, laptop cords, etc is helpful for organization. There are even pen holders inside so you won't lose your pen again, ever.
I was worried at first that my oddly sized laptop would not fit the bag, but apparently, the description was concise enough for me to estimate the fit. A guess the small version of this bag would be enough for mini-laptops, while the large size would roughly fit 14 to 15 inch laptops.
Considering that I live in Asia where this brand is not widely known to produce techie bags, I am relieved to know that some mugger won't add me to his list of victims simply because this bag doesn't scream.. "Mug me, I'm a laptop bag!"
It's rally cheap.
I wanted to buy it before. It has many pokets and good design.
When I visited in the USA, it was really cheap.
That's why I bought it. Next time, I'll buy different model.
