Review Text: Great Camera Bag. I am an employee of Best Buy and had the opportunity to test the Peter McKinnon camera bag after reading great things about it online. I have previously used and liked Nomatic luggage, and have never quite clicked with any of the several camera backpacks I've owned. I use the pack to carry my Sony a7III (which permanently lives on an L bracket, increasing its weight and bulk) and growing kit. I also generally travel with a 13" MacBook Pro and iPad. The pack is, in typical Nomatic fashion, both stylish and of very high quality. It's made of very high-end materials and manages to look svelte despite its considerable size. I also appreciate that it doesn't scream "camera case!" when I am walking around. The weight is reasonable for its size, and it's the most comfortable large backpack I have worn, due to the thick padded straps ventilated back padding and load adjustment options. I like that the waist strap (which is well padded and comfy) is easily removable, as it's one of those things that's a blessing when needed and could be a nuisance when it's not. The camera section is huge, and comes with plenty of dividers that allow it to be used to carry entirely camera gear or a combination of camera gear and clothing or other items. The amount of storage is beyond what I generally need for my system - you could easily carry two bodies and lenses for each - but the flexibility of the pack means that I can use that space for other items as well. Ergonomically it's really nice, with dedicated side openings for my camera and laptop. The pack also has a dedicated clothing area which expands as needed - there is plenty of room for weekend's clothing without putting any of it into the camera section. I also have the Cube Pack, a small camera case that fits into the larger pack, holds a smaller camera setup and folds out into an entire day pack. Very handy addition. The only real critique I can find is that this is not an inexpensive pack. That said, it's very fairly priced given the quality of its build, and my experience with luggage tends to be that you get what you pay for. I am very happy with this bag!
