Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Lowepro Slingshot 200 All Weather Backpack (Black)

Customer Review: Using my slingshot 200
Summary: 5 Stars

Just days after getting the backpack, I went with a group of people on a 4 mile walk into the Superstition Mt Wilderness Area. I continually amazed myself on how easy it was to quickly pull my camera, take a picture, put it away and continue to keep up with the group. No one had to wait on me.

Customer Review: A great DSLR bag!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I have been getting more involved with my Nikon D300, and wanted to carry more lenses with me when shooting. Most bags I tried were bulky or not very comfortable. The Slingshot Pro 200 ended my search.
This bag has enough room to carry 2-3 medium sized lenses( say, an 18-200 on camera, a 12-24, and even a 28-70, with another spot in the top for yet another lens-the top compartment is a little less secure).
For a long zoom(300mm and up), I think you should get a larger size.
I really like the set up of the main compartment- Lots of padding, velcro. When zipped up, 2 clasps on the outside of the bag allow the camera to be accesed while keeping the lenses secure.
The strap is nicely padded and the bag, when full, is nicely balanced.
Overall, a pretty nice bag for a reasonable price.

Customer Review: This is my dream bag!
Summary: 5 Stars

I have tried a few DSLR bags. This is the only one fully meets all my expection! Thank you so much!

Customer Review: I really don't like this bag, sorry...
Summary: 2 Stars

Well, I know everyone seems to love this bag, and I bought it based on those reviews, but I really just don't like it... I got it along with my new Nikon D300 (which I adore!!!), and I mostly work in the field in Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia. The reviews implied that you could wear this and get to the camera quick - a major plus for me; but...
... I have a real problem with the design -- if you DO attempt to unzip the bag quick, and grab your equipment, you have to be realllllyyy careful -- the camera will fall out! What the heck? No, I'm not wearing it upside down. It's just a funny design, and I pray I don't lose equipment because of it, but I'll be looking for a different bag ASAP. Sorry, Lowe, this one just didn't work.

Customer Review: Room to spare
Summary: 4 Stars

The bag is definitely top line. My only Woops was that I read I was to get a $20 rebate - which didn't materialize; or not easily enough discovered.
But the bag itself -excellent.
