I had originally picked out an Ape Case but had to default to this case to save money. Boy, am I glad I did! I used to be a photographer in the old days of film but my career ended up taking a different path. I've been retired for a few years and living on Social Security, which is really social but not terribly secure. After a few years of this, I decided to go back to school (at the tender age of 71) to get a 2 year Associate's Degree in Digital Photography. My schooling requires that I have a camera, two lenses, and a variety of other odds and ends, which brings me to my review.I wasn't sure what to expect when I purchased this bag but it has exceed expectations. It holds a Nikon D7200, a Nikon 18-70 lens, a Nikon 55-300 lens, a 500 gb external hard drive, case for the hard drive, a way-cool First2savvy leather camera case, five (yes, 5!) spare camera batteries, charger for the batteries, fat owner's manual for the camera, lens cleaning kit, two screen protectors for the Nikon, an Anker portable card reader, a 55" tripod which can fir on either the side of the bag or across the top, and it still has room for at least two more lenses! Pshew!I will admit that it does get heavy but you have the ability to wear it as a back pack, making the load much easier to carry.In closing, if you're seriously considering a more expensive big-name bag, go ahead and buy it, but realize you're doing it out of vanity. I've learned the value of a dollar over the years, having made and lost a couple of small fortunes. Amazon knows the value of a dollar too, and their basic lines are chock full of value. I have owned this bag for a few months and use it every day, both in class and out in the field. It has zippers galore, everything is at your fingertips, and it can be custom-fitted to any equipment you might have by way of adjustable pockets. Even loaded up with equipment this bag keeps it's shape and even has zippers on the outside for more stuff. I mean, what do you want out of a camera bag? If you're getting into photography, buy this bag! Believe me, you will need the extra money to buy more lenses.
