Got this Kata Rucksack in a few days ago and have been trying it out. Needed it to carry my 7D with other accessories such as my zoomH4n, batteries, lenses, etc. The lower compartment would fit the camera w/stock lens (or 50mm prime as I have on it now) lens beside it (got the stock next to it), with three other pouches to spare. If you had a larger telephoto that would take up two, but I've got the two taken up with batteries and chargers, and the last one with mounts for holding the camera.
The top compartment is bigger than I expected, and is quite nice. Got the ZoomH4n, Wallet, Phone, USB voiceover mic I carry around with me (AT2020), video ipod, CF card reader, notebook, pens, with room to spare for a lightweight jacket if needed, lunch, or other stuff for the road.... all in there. My laptop compartment is empty right now, but soon to have a 13" or 15" macbook pro in it. I have heard from other people about them bending their macbooks, so this is something I'll be very concerned and careful about.
Front three pockets... center one is great for cables and other misc items, other two, one's got the rain cover in it, the other one is empty, but usually holds work badges, that sort of thing.
The bag sits comfortably on my shoulders, top handle is great. Weight is great on the bag, it sits upright with no problems either fully loaded or empty. I agree with others that the waist clip is useless, might just chop mine off. We'll see. The water bottle mesh holder on the side is a tad small, but I was still able to fit my regular sized travel mug in it, it was just a little tight. Which was probably a good thing because it was held in really well. But it did seem a bit TOO tight.
So yeah, thats about it.... so far its been a great little bag. I'll probably get some CF card holders and a filter holder to go in one of the front pockets.
The end.

I already own a Lowepro Computrekker AW, which is a very good bag but too big to carry around and is not suitable for personal belongings. So I had to get a smaller bag for a 9 days trip which required allot of walking and biking. After reviewing various models of Lowepro, Tamrac and Kata, i decided on this one. I packed a Canon 40D, 2 prime lenses of 35 and 50mms, 28-135mm IS, a polarizer filter, card reader, battery charger and couple extra memory cards. The upper comportement was also good enough to carry three books, wallet, hat etc. It also had a separate comportement to use for either a water bootle or tripod. I am not always happy with the design of the camera bags and this one in my eyes was very well designed. I recommend it to anyone who does not carry a laptop.

I spent a long time searching for a camera backpack that would work well for me. I am a small woman (5') who uses this pack for hiking and biking. I am able to put my Canon 30D w/70-200 F4 L lense attached in either the bottom or the top sections. I do have to rearrange the foam dividers to put the camera on the bottom section, but it is very secure and still easy to access. I usually have a 28-80 lense inside the bottom section too.
This pack is very well made and the included rainfly is a plus while hiking in Colorado where the weather can change in a blink of an eye. I checked out all the other major brands of backpacks and nothing compared to the quality of the Kata. I highly recommend this backpack for your camera gear.

Just received mine today & loaded it up for a week-long trip to Germany. In went my Nikon D200 with 18-200 mounted, 85mm 1.8, 50mm 1.8, and SB-800 flash + various accessories, all in the lower compartment. The way this rotates out is brilliant. My computer is a Macbook Air, which fits widthwise into the computer area, leaving about 1/2 of it for papers, etc. Overall the external dimensions don't suggest how much capacity this bag really has. And it doesn't look like a camera or computer bag - it just looks like a nice medium backpack. The only omission I noticed so far is that there is no small pockets in the camera area for extra memory cards.

awesome bag. i was looking for a backpack type camera bag that wasn't as large and didn't say steal me all over it. THis bag looks just like any other backpack besides the KATA logo which is fairly small. Bought this bag for my 40D + 28-135 is lense. Fit the body with lense and hood attached backwards in perfectly. Also have the 580EX II. The speedlight is a little long for the compartment with the sto-fen attached, but put hte flash to 90 degree angle it and it fits better. With room to spare for my chargers, extra batteries and my 50mm f/1.8II.. top compartment has enough room for small lunch and other assorted items. side water bottle holder fits normal 20oz bottles fine. used it to fit my tripod with two legs in it and strapped around the bag with the bag straps. Took this bag on a 6 mile hike. didn't feel the weight at all. great bag. buy if ur equipment load is smaller or if u just want a bag to take ur single kit on.! hope this helps!
