1. Rear loading advantages are security and not getting the side that goes against your back dirty when putting the bag down, but I find side access the most useful feature, because you then don’t have to put the bag down to access your cameras.


2. I have never used inserts, considered them a few times but found myself going back to the velcro dividers every time because they were just more versatile. Still looking though, because I still think inserts may be very nice to use.


3. Depends very much on whether I am traveling light or heavy. This is situation dependent. If traveling by road or only by large plane, I take a bigger camera bag and more gear than traveling on smaller planes like the Embraer Regional Jets or De Havilland Dash, which have small overhead luggage compartments, limiting the gear and bag size. When I travel with my bigger bag, I also take along a smaller day bag, but when traveling light, my main camera bag is also my daily use bag.


Must have features: The bag has to fit in the smallest overhead luggage compartment of the planes that I will be flying in. It has to be comfortable to carry. Prefer if it doesn’t have that obvious camera bag look.


Lastly, there is no ideal camera bag, there are only bags that are best for a specific use case.
