The Toronto backpack may be the least expensive option here, but its 30cm internal width is nice and wide, making it ideal for transporting a decent selection of full-frame camera gear in a classic three-column arrangement. There’s also a sizable area at the top for storing daily essentials, with an expandable opening and adjustable top flap making it even larger, if needed, though it’s not particularly well separated from the main camera compartment.

Slim accessories, including a tablet, can stow in the full-width front pocket, and there’s a laptop slot inside the main rear-panel access flap. You also get generous dump pockets on either side, one of which can carry a tripod.

The Toronto’s design is city-smart; but while the internal dividers are thick and there’s reasonable side and base padding, the general construction still manages to feel fairly insubstantial and floppy. At least the pack padding and shoulder straps are pleasantly comfortable.

Pros

Versatile inside and out; thick interior padding; price

Cons

Could feel tougher; UK buyers may incur import charges

We say

A lot of bag for a rather modest outlay, but feels less premium than some
