Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Lowepro SlingShot 100 All-Weather Digital Camera Backpack (Black)
Customer Review: Great bag, only one minor complaint...
Summary: 4 Stars
Excellent bag. Love being able to take my camera out on the fly. The only issue I have with it has to do with the stiffness (or lack thereof) of the separators.
When I swing the bag around from my back and unzip the easy-access compartment, the camera is always leaning heavily toward the right side (when ideally it should be centered beneath the opening). This is due to gravity's effect on its position while the backpack is vertical. The weight of my camera + 24-70mm L has a tendency to scrunch the divider so that when I reach in to take it out I have to sort of crane my right hand under the opening to get at the grip. It's just uncomfortable enough to be slightly annoying.
Has anyone else experienced this? I've tried shifting the position of the divider in about every way imaginable and putting a variety of lenses in the adjacent compartment to try support the weight, but nothing seems to work.
Again, only a slight complaint, but a complaint nonetheless. Other than that, I highly recommend it. Well worth the money.
The gear I take in this bag when I travel:
-Canon 5D
-Canon 24-70mm L (mounted)
-Canon 17-40mm L
-Canon 135mm L
-580EX flash (in top compartment)
All of the above fits comfortably in the 200 AW. The strap is well-designed and distributes the weight nicely. Were it not for the minor issue noted above re camera positioning I would've given it five stars without hesitation.
Customer Review: Great Bag!

Love how you can just flip it around and open it up and go. It is very easy to get into and get the shot without taking off your pack and going through it...would recommend!Customer Review: Lowepro-200 review
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first pro camera bag that I have purchased. I have had it for about a month. I find that it is very nice, well built and thought out with good zippers and a build in rain cover which I needed today.
My D80 with a 18-200mm lens with the hood fits just right and I am able to carry two other len's plus my SB-800 flash and battery charger and still have room left over for additional batteries,filters, pen, lens pencil. small penlight, small notebook. Also has nice pockets for additonal 2G disk, business cards, and other misc items.
Nice Bag and it swings from the back to the front easly and quickly. I was pleased to find that it also fit me as I am a big guy, 6-1 325# and most sling bags won't fit me. This one did.
Customer Review: exceptional value

Customer Review: High quality, wished it was bigger
Summary: 4 Stars
I really like this bag. It is made extremely well and protects my DSLR everywhere I travel. One downfall, I wished it was bigger. Can't really haul all my equipment. This bag is nice for small trips.
