Five months ago, I bought a Caselogic EVA Hardshell Camera/ Laptop Backpack in preparation for my first plane ride with the new camera. Before this, I had been using a Targus laptop backpack that my old Canon G5 fit into pretty well, along with my 17″ laptop. But when I bought the Olympus E-510 and everything it came with, I needed a bag that was designed for DSLR’s and laptops. I searched and searched (see original post), and looked at options all over the price range. I decided that, with the type and frequency of travel I’d be doing, the Caselogic was worth a try.
Since purchasing this bag, I have been on planes to Orlando, Florida and Rochester, New York. I have also been on a camping trip to Lake McConaughy, Nebraska and numerous weekend day trips all over Colorado. It is also my everyday, to and from work bag. Let’s break down the pluses and minuses, then show some photos (this is a photo blog after all).

On the plane
I don’t normally post on Sunday. But since I am flying to Phoenix, and then driving to Tucson to play tourist, I might not get Monday’s post up by the time people expect it. One is coming, I assure you.
