Crumpler The Enthusiast Bag EST001-B00G50

I have tried many camera bags, and the Enthusiast may be the best yet. It's not too large, so it's not for carrying a big kit around, but as a day bag, it's great. Shoulder strap is comfortable and switchable.

What's nicest about the bag, to me, is the division of space. Top half has a nice big compartment for anything. There's a well-padded pouch for an iPad or thin netbook, and then there's the compartment that has nice high sides so things aren't just going to fall out.

The bottom half of the bag is for cameras, and it suits me very well. Seems to be set up with a 1 DSLR/1-2 lenses/1 flash kit in mind, but I carry 2 rangefinders and two lenses, and it's perfect. Two dividers that run the width of the bag for three stacked sections, and a separator to vertically divide one section (the middle one by default). I haven't changed the default setup: top section holds a couple lenses snugly, middle section holds two rangefinders with lenses perfectly, and the bottom section, thinner than the others, acts as a really good empty padding space.

The only knock I have is no good way to carry a tripod, or attach a tripod case. The X straps on the back, maybe, I need to get a case to try and hook it to that.

This was a nice looking bag, but I didn't find it very practical. It's pretty big without offering advantages. I returned it, opting for something smaller with more functionality.
