    Share your backpack choice with your body info!

    72 F 130 I also use the Jade 38. (Four caminos) Something to consider, after getting the correct fit - most important - is how it opens.

    DSLR-camera on the camino

    Yes, after a lot of research, I am seriously considering the TG 3 as well. I am a professional photographer and normally shoot with the Canon 5D mk II.
