Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Tamrac 704 Sport Convertible Camera Bag (Black)
Customer Review: Spacious yet compact
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned this bag for about 25 years! It holds a lot of equipment, probably more than recommended, and it has held up very well. It has seen a month of constant use on an extended European trip, various vacations and numerous day outings. It works well on airlines as it fits under the seat of most carriers. The smaller footprint of the bag is great for women and not too obtrusive in tight quarters while touring. I find the waist belt very comfortable, and after a day of hiking, my shoulders and back are not sore from heavy weight on the shoulder as I get when carrying a shoulder bag.
I tend to stuff too much into the bag and the waist belt has endured all the abuse. When I have excess weight in it, I use the belt with the shoulder strap on my shoulder loosely or across my body as added insurance, but I have never had it fail Wearing the shoulder strap at the same time also gives you the added benefit of not dropping the bag when you release the belt.
The padding, buckles, zippers and fabric are still in very good condition. I did have to replace the belt buckle sometime after 15 years but I do not think that is bad considering the amount of use and abuse I have given the bag! Tamrac was very prompt in sending the replacement part.
On day outings to festivals, zoos etc., rather than carry a big bag I can stuff four or five lenses and small accessories into it easily and carry the camera separately. I own a larger bag by another manufacture, but this is my everyday go to bag because of the waist belt and quality.
The bag is carried on your lumbar so I would suggest that if you have a larger than average waist/pelvis, you actually go to a store and try it on before purchasing. The waist strap is adjustable to a certain degree, but may not fit all sizes comfortably.
This bag is worn on your back side, so you will need to take it off to access your equipment. This could be a drawback depending on the type of photography you do. If you changes lenses and filters very frequently this might not be the style for you. I find with the shoulder strap on I can release the waist strap and swing the bag to the front to easily access my equipment. I tend to do more static photography and speedily changing lenses is generally not as important to me, but it might be something to consider.
I would highly recommend this or the larger two models, depending on your need. I am not a pro but an avid amateur photographer.
