Deflect all you want drama queen... My point was made

So I've ended up getting three Manfrotto camera bags. This one, the rear compartment one and the Active backpack 1. All yet to arrive but does anyone have an opinion as to which can fit the most in real life?

I ordered on Amazon yesterday when the item was not in stock, but it was dispatched this morning...

Actually you said "drama queen OP" which was unnecessary. I'd suggest you just calm down as you are now getting a bit dramatic yourself ...

Geez get a grip 'foolish replier' I was merely bringing a bit of reality to your thread
It's not in stock now but is orderable... If you are not stamping your feet to get it yesterday then you can get it at your vendor of choice potentially using credit etc
Just a choice

Don't be so butt hurt about your deal
I never criticised that... Only your misleading posts

I can agree with brilly that it was in stock on amazon at same price. I did check this morning to compare 2 other bags as well and found same price for this backpack. But if you try now its not available in the list or you have to pay more quid. So stick with wex unless you get better deal anywhere else.

Pot calling kettle ...

"Let the deal speak for itself" and then you quote Amazon where it's not even in stock! Lol

On tablet so tough but here... Seems to be on back order atm though
(3 camels says been that price since second Feb but no idea as little data showing)

As for the other thing I didn't say it wasn't a good deal but rrp is irrelevant as it's fairly often 80 in black rather than the grudging occasional 100 as you say in op
Let the deal speak for itself rather than exaggerate

Drama queen op. Black seems to be 80 in a few places and has been previously
Not saying not good deal but misleading
Also grey same price at amazon

Looking to buy but are we sure this £110 is genuine?

It's what manfrotto are selling it for.

I would like to say that you should have a look once youtube review to get an idea what essential backpack offers.

Advanced backpack: https://youtu.be/V84plCS5ZQM

There is a tripod mount and laptop compartment plus it offers to keep all other small accessories as well. It has a thick padding. But as i said everyone has a different choice. Some people like side opening and some like top opening.

I am not arguing that not to buy other bags but essential bag has option to remove inner paddings so you can use as a normal backpack as well if you don't want to carry camera with you while travel.

If i get a chance i will upload a picture to prove my point.

Edit:
Now i am providing a link so everyone can see that i managed to fit my SLR, 5 lenses, flash, blower, cables etc, tripod plus laptop compartment. And yes this is essential backpack.

Now please if anyone has advanced backpack please upload a pictures to prove that if it is possible to squeeze 5 lenses, flash, laptop and tripod.

Please don't forget to see youtube reviews by provided links.

I'm sorry but I'd have to disagree that an "essentials" range backpack was the better choice when compared to the more expensive/substantial "advanced" range...

The cheaper essentials bag example has:

No external tripod connections
No laptop compartment/section
Smaller internals
Less padding/protection
No rain protector (that I can see)

I would agree that side opening isn't to everyone's taste though.

Mine too. So much easier to get your camera out if its in your bag and there is an action shot you need to capture quickly

Good alternative, but I do prefer side opening, so much better to get access to equipment without having to take bag off (slingshots are my bag of choice)

Its better if you buy mb-bp-e essential camera bag for £32 (current price) I bought it for £25.49 and it has a lot room for other accessories as well. It would be not same choice for everyone but i like the bag to open from top to bottom not side by side.
