Wenger RHEA Women's Camera Backpack (Black/Pink)

"This is a beautiful bag, all girl,instead of drab and ugly. It is easy to carry, and I'm not afraid of someone seeing what I am carrying is a camera bag, with all my expensive gear in it. Leaves my hands free to shoot, or to grab my grand son, or carry a drink. I love this bag. I have had several over the years, but I am very please with this one."

"After ordering most of my camera gear online, I reserved getting a camera bag in person. I wanted to see if it would fit all of my gear, if it would be stylish, and if it would be practical. This bag fit the bill. The inside striped material and the outside pink stitching makes it very stylish. The fact that it's a backpack makes it real practical. I just add my wallet and cell phone and out the door I go!



The one thing I found that could have been better was the fact that the zippered back pack flap didn't have a "hinge." In order to open it all the way you have to pull up on the zipper which I think could eventually fail. But, once you know that's a problem, you should just be careful not to pull it open too hard and that should suffice."

"This bag has been re-designed to have better

access to the inside compartment.

I fit my Nikon D300 with all my

other gear comfortably inside.

If you want to carry a bag and not have

to worry about it sliding off your shoulder,

a backpack is the way to go.

This company stands behind their product."

"Purchased for a recent trip to Hawaii, this backpack easily fit my Canon SLR, miscellaneous filters and lens. The pockets on each side of the bag also fit car keys and my smaller Nikon camera nicely. THREE SMALL DRAWBACKS include where the padded shoulder piece meets the strap to tighten each side. I wore sleeveless shirts (expecting weather quite similar to FL), and found it to be a little on the irritating side. Next, to access the inside bottom of the bag, I had to almost turn the front of the bag "inside out" to move around dividers. Lastly, the three small mesh pockets on the front flap could stand to be a little higher up, making extra battery storage, etcetera, easier to reach quickly. Overall, these minor drawbacks would neither stop me from purchasing this product again, nor from recommending it to a friend."

"Roomy, fits NikonD60 with 55-200mm lens attached, room for 2 more (smaller) lenses,extra battery, charger, etc. More room on sides and in front. A minor inconvenience is that it does not open as fully as I would like, it is a little tight but "do-able". Perhaps with more use that will improve. My sister liked it so much she bought it, also, but I paid $20 less for it online! It is attractive and does not scream "camera bag", as some do, making it less likely to draw attention to what is inside"

"The pink stitching, compact size, and quality construction make for an attractive bag. There is room to organize my wallet, phone, and other essentials that I would normally carry in my purse. When on vacation, I felt comfortable carrying this bag with my SLR and extra lens in place of my purse into restaurants where I would have never hauled a conventional backpack or large camera bag."

"I just bought this bag and it's just right for me. All I have is a D60 and an extra 55-200 mm lens, so I wasn't looking for a huge $200 backpack with 20 extra compartments. The adjustable dividers are great for rearranging everything to your preference, so you can easily fit more. It's comfortable, nice and padded for protection, and it's from Swiss Gear so you know you're getting a reliable product, especially for the price. (And if you are of the female gender or looking to buy one for your wife, GF, niece, mom, ect. it's really cute and feminine as opposed to the usual bulky, masculine SLR bags out there.)"

"The backpack provides ample room for my Nikon D60 and the 2 lenses I own so far. There are several zippered compartments to store extra items to include your cell phone and wallet...nice touch for a backpack designed for a woman in mind! The only downfall to its design is that the top flap does not open flat when you open the zipper to access your equipment. There should have been a hinge designed in it to lay open so that you could use both your hands to access your equipment. Instead, I use one hand to hold the flap open and the other hand to retrieve my equipment. However, given the functionality and "cuteness" of this backpack, it was not a deal-breaker for me."

"I agree with other reviews that it's a bit difficult to open the bag fully due to the way it's constructed. But overall, it's a not that big of a problem for me. The space for the camera is at the top of the bag so getting it out is definitely no big deal. The only problem with the camera space being at the top of the bag is that if you don't have things in the compartment under it, the camera isn't as secure and wanders downward. So you just have to make sure that the other compartments are filled with something. But it looks really nice and it's not too big - just big enough to hold my SLR and video camera along with some accessories."

"It's very cute but it is not practical.

It's small and fits a good size SLR, one lens and maybe a flash BUT, like the previous reviewer said, does not have a hinge or the zipper does not open far enough.

You cannot make the main compartment flap open all the way like all other backpacks do.

Its not comfortable to try to access your gear.

You wont be able to just set it down and grab your stuff. If you try to force it so that it opens more, you risk breaking the zipper.



Its cute, but I plan on returning mine."
