The received my new
Lowepro backpack just in time to use it on a dirt bike ride next weekend. I picked the 200AW for its size and quick camera access without having to take the bag off. I carry a Canon 20D with its 18-55mm lens along with a Sigma 10-20mm and 70-300mm so the larger model bags that hold two bodies and 6 lenses are too much. I have plenty of room to add at least two more lenses to this bag. The
dividers in the camera area are velcroed in so they can be adjusted or removed. A cover is built in that protect the camera’s lcd from scratches which is a nice feature. The bag has plenty of room in its top compartment for my battery charger and strap. I probably use about 60% of the space in this bag but I don't see a need to go any smaller. The most unique feature of this bag is the ability to remove the camera and shoot without having to take it off. You just rotate it under your left arm up to your chest and the camera pocket is right there. A great side effect I have found from this is that when you are shooting you can rest your forearms on the bag t
o help steady the shot. Overall this is a great bag and I would certainly recommend it. One tip if you purchase this bag, the included rain cover is a little hard to find if you don't know where to look. I took a picture to help you out.

Le Mans at Road Atlanta and even though it was raining we went up to check it out. I've been to the race several times but the last couple years real estate commitments have kept me from getting up there on Saturday. We only stayed for the morning but we got to watch the ALMS practice and the Speed world challenge race in the rain. We got wet but it was cool to get back out there and see the racing in person.
