I picked up a Lowepro Elite Aw bag from Henry's. The price was hard to resist.
I called many local camera shops and none could even come close to the price
henry's was asking. Bag arrived brand new with original tags on it. No
complaints
at all. I love the bag. My only beef with the bag is that it's hard to
squeeze 2 bodies in.
This is purely due to its size. However, the Velcro compartments can be
rearranged to
suit your needs. And I love the little built in poncho it has. Good Luck!

I've been looking for a backpack to house (and carry) some of my Olympus
cameras
& lenses. I read many discussions of bags and backpacks in the archives and
pretty much narrowed it down to Lowepro, Tenba, or Tamrac. What's the deal
with Henry's? They're (clearly) a Canadian business. Their prices on
Lowepros
are significantly better than B&H (e.g., Photo Trekker AW in black is $176.46
USD at Henry's and $229.95 at B&H). I assume I've got no US warranty, but I
also assume it's unlikely I'll need any warranty work (and if I do sending a
bag to Canada is no big deal). Would anyone care to comment on Henry's or on
buying Lowepros out of the US? (I'll go ahead and add that I used BIN on eBay
last night to get a Photo Trekker AW from Henry's for $167.50. I realize this
is a seriously big mamma-jamma, so I'll probably get another smaller
bag/backpack
in the near future. If there are no drawbacks, I'll probably use Henry's
again
since they're less expensive.)
Thanks for any input on this.
