Tiny, but mighty
The Truckee BP 150 LX strikes me as Lowepro's best attempt to update the long discontinued Fastpack 100, right down to its attractive two-tone design possibilities. But instead of Fastpack's red/black or blue/back, the Truckee can be had in a subdued two-tone gray. Like the Fastpack 100, the Truckee 150 offers a top compartment for holding sundries, say a wallet, phone, and a lightweight windbreaker or a set of headphones (think beats), and a bottom compartment for packing a small camera (my X100 line camera, filters, spare battery, lens hood, and so on fits perfectly). Unlike the Fastpack 100, the Truckee 150 offers a tablet compartment (it comfortably holds my 9.7 enclosed in case and keyboard). But unlike the comparable Tahoe 150, the tablet compartment is better placed. The Tahoe places it at the front of the pack; the Truckee at the back, making for a better weight distribution. There is one side pocket, and it includes an adjustment strap to help balance a small tripod. The pocket can also fit a small water bottle or glasses case. This is the bag I've been looking for. It is tiny, and thus a perfect daypack for the street or candid photographer. It is lightweight, and thus a perfect day-to-day bag for commuters that and others that prefer to always have a camera at hand. It is unobtrusive, and thus a bag unlikely to earn the ire of a museum guard or to draw the attention of less savory types. Well done, Lowepro.Update: I picked up the 200 in order to carry a laptop. Like its little brother, the 200 functions well as a mirrorless camera daypack. The description suggests this bag is appropriate for a DCLR kit. I'm not sure I agree with that assessment, so buyer beware.

I can hardly wait to use this bag!
The perfect camera bag for hobbyist photographers! Women will love that they can carry their own essentials (keys, wallet, cell phone, i-pad) in addition to their camera & equipment. I checked the loop on the back of the backpack and it fits the telescoping handle on my carry-on bag, perfectly! I am a petite, senior lady and, after filling it up, and putting it on, I give it a 5 thumbs up!

Excellent for the price.
(For the 250LX.) Very well made and clean looking. There are a few things I wish were different, I’ll start with the things I love because this is still a good bag.1. I love the amount of space you have. In both the multi-purpose top and camera gear space at the bottom. I was able to fit my Mavic Air, controller, Sony a6300 (body), the small kit lens, a 50mm lens, Rode Videomicro with the deadcat on, portable usb charger, and still had space for an extra lens. And this is just at the bottom. Top part had my MacBook Pro 15in, iPad 9.7, some pens, Nintendo Switch (in a case with games and small accessories), iPad charger (wire and plug), Macbook charger, and some snacks.2. Aside from the space, I loved the look. Very simple and clean. I didn’t want something that said (hey, I’m a camera bag that’s holding expensive equipment).3. It wasn’t bulky even with everything in it. One thing about my last bag. It was huge and annoying to take places. This one is perfect for everyday use or just for shoots/daily clogging setup.Now for things I didn’t like.1. While it did hold a ton of gear, it didn’t have a specific slot for my iPad. It was kinda just either Mac or iPad. However, the top part of the bag did fit the iPad easily in with my switch, but it’s not organized well.2. While I do like how simple and clean the bag looks, it only comes in white/black. Not solid black. So the white does stand out a bit more than I like, but that might be what you’re looking for. (Especially for hiking).3. Lastly, the straps. As you know now, it holds a lot, but that brings weight as well. If you carry a lot of gear with you, the straps are quite thin and narrow. While it adds to the minimalist look. They get uncomfortable after a while. If I don’t carry my Mac, it’s not as bad. Just something to keep in mind.(It also doesn’t have a dedicated pen slot. It has slots for like wallet size items, so I just used those. Can also hot glue one and make your own slot. That’s just sometime I like to have lol.)Overall, and wonderful backpack. Especially for the price. 4/5 stars. If it had the slot for the iPad and Pens. Plus slightly wider straps, I would give it a 5.

Perfect ! Finally found the bag I have been searching for!
I have a Sony A7Rii and a Nikon Coolpix P1000. I love my Nikon for the superzoom, I love my Sony a7rii because it takes amazing photos. I travel a lot and want to take both cameras. This bag finally does it. I have the Sony A7rII with attached 12-24mm wide angle lens and my Nikon p1000 in the front pocket. I also carry a Sony 24-240 lens. The front pocket fits both cameras and I put the lens in the top pocket. I can also fit my 15inch MacBook Pro 2019 and my iPad Pro 11inch in the laptop pocket.I have a Lowepro bp 150awII, it fits my cameras and lens but no room for laptop so I have been carrying two bags for traveling.I also tried the Lowepro Hatchback 250AWII but again no spot for laptop. fits both cameras easily and extra lens.I also tried the Lowepro fastback BP250AWII, which is awesome and holds everything but bag alone is almost 4 pounds while this Truckee BP250LX is only 1.5 empty, but the extra weight adds more protection for your gear. I didn't care for the camera slot on the fastback BP250 AWII but that is personal preference bc I cannot get those velcro dividers where I want them for the 2 cameras.I also have the MIndshift photocross 15, which I like, it holds everything but again it is heavier weight and I find the side pocket awkward, but the heaviness does add protection for your equipment.I preferred the camera pouch in the front on the Truckee BP 250lx bc my husband usually carries the bag for me :-) and it is easy to get to. There are plenty of pockets to keep my phone and my passport although not RF protected. Also plenty of room for SD Cards, extra batteries, chargers, purell, chapstick, reading glasses, sunglasses, side pocket for water bottle and can attach tripod to the other side.I am thrilled with this bag, I do wish it was in other colors but that is my only complaint.
