Great for hikes
I was looking for a good hiking daypack that would carry some supplies also help safeguard my camera at the same time. I've only had this for a month or so, but I've taken it up and down a few mountains, through some thick brush, in a cloud, and through both rain and snow (gotta love Alaska weather ;) ). Short of dropping it in a lake, or taking it through a rain forest this sucker has proven itself to me.

The 200 size is perfect for day hikes, I almost got a 100 but after seeing the 100 in person I knew it would be too small. So far I can fit my XSi, 18-55mm and 55-250mm lens in the pack with room to spare for (hopefully) upgrade lenses someday, or food/supplies for now. The top is fairly room with enough room to fit a light jacket, long sleeve shirt, and winter hat and gloves. Lots of little pockets and loops here and there to put accessories, cards, cords, flash, charger etc.

I hiked for a few hours straight in a cloud on the side of a mountain, and through some rain and snow another day, and while I was nervous at first the pack held up perfectly without letting any moisture in to touch the camera or equipment. I try to treat my camera gingerly, but lets face it, that's an impossibility if you hiking outdoors with it. I haven't had any serious drops or falls with the pack, but a few light tumbles and drops haven't shown any damage, and the pack has protected the camera well.

I think the only gripe I have so far is that the side access pouch or zipper is on the left side, and being right handed it seems like it would be easier if it was on the right. The side access concept was the reason I bought this, cause it allows me to get to my camera fairly quickly without opening the whole pack.

Over all I love this pack, and foresee myself taking it on many many hikes and climbs to come in the future. Its a great daypack for hiking and climbing camera enthusiasts, I would recommend it to anyone.

Great size for Camera and Gear
Very comfortable and easy to access camera from the side with backpack on.
Well made with sturdy fabric
We have the Fastpack 200 our Canon 40D with 28-135 lens fits securly with enough ajustment to accomadate a larger lens.

Totally awesome
Well, I bought this to protect my Nikon D40. First the complaints:

CONS: Having a D40 it's too big for the camera. I have a the stock lens and a 55-200 DX lens. I still have a lot of space available. Too much space that I will have to buy additional spacers. Right now I insert my camera with the lens pointing up so that the camera doesn't shift too much.

PROS:

1. This bag has gone through 2 tests. We had a Kids Weekend Cabin Camp and a trip to the beach. First, it is very comfortable. I never experienced any fatigue or pain even though I was wearing the bag the whole weekend taking pictures and hiking through out the woods with some 70 plus kids. I did sweat a little on my back but it quickly dried when I took a rest.

2. Having the phone and an accessory loop was very convenient. I used it for my cell phone (Blackberry 8100 - fits perfectly) and the accessory loop for the a small walkie-talkie. Great placement right under the shoulder.

3. Went to the beach, a strong wave went up and got to our stuff including the bag. All contents was dry and safe. The bag was a little wet but the camera was safe.

4. The extra space is great for all kinds of stuff. You can fit a small camcorder. I put my small point and shoot in the mesh pocket and old Sony DSC-W1 but it still fits. Also I LOVE the water bottle pocket on the side. It can accommodate all different sizes of bottles.

Conclusion. A GREAT buy. I already had my investment back just the fact it protected my camera and was very useful. I'm 5-6 so the bag is a bit big or looks big. Also styling isn't too great looks like an awkward school backpack but it's a camera backpack so who cares. I'm fully satisfied.

Exactly what we needed
We had an upcoming trip to Yosemite to hike Half-Dome and desperately wanted to take the good camera. This backpack was exactly what we needed. I think we thought we'd only use it during hiking, but we've continued to use it on other day trips and when we fly as well. It's great to be able to take our camera around and not worry about it getting damaged. The baackpack isn't big, so you can't carry a lot of additional items on the top compartment. But if you're hiking, you don't want a big backpack anyway. It's perfect for our needs!

great for digital slr with accesories and other items
I ordered this for my amateur photographer husband who has a Canon Rebel with 1 additional lens and flash. He was looking for something that would hold all of those items but could be accessed without taking the whole backpack off and laying it down. This item fit the bill perfectly! Very well made and padded. Even holds our video camera (in it's bag!) in the top section. Access to the camera is outstanding! Backpack is rather large (but fits my 6'3 husband well) but holds many different items securely. Might be too large for someone with just a single camera and lens.
