Digital camera reviews of Lowepro SlingShot 100 All-Weather Digital Camera Backpack - Black
Digital camera Review: Good Bag but a little small....
Summary: 4 Stars
Great bag design. Only problem is that it will not hold larger SLR's like the Canon 50 and up unless your really push it. For smaller SLR's it is very good. If you have a big camera you need at least the 200 or 300 model.Digital camera Review: Good Bag, Maybe Not So Durable
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this bag to hold both my zoom and telephoto lens with my Sony A-100 on my trip to Peru. It worked great and has been very useful since then. It has some space for cards, batteries, the telephoto, everything I need, as well as extra things. It holds a lot but is still fairly small. It's very comfortable to wear, and has a second smaller strap that makes it even more comfortable for long periods. The weatherproof cover is great, I haven't used it much but when I have it's been good to have.
The bag fits my camera with the zoom lens great. It has to squeeze to fit when the telephoto is attached. The 102 model is a bit larger, it might fit better with that one.
There's only one thing that brings my rating down for this bag. After a couple years, the zipper on the main compartment started coming off of the bag. I have put a lot of use into the bag, but I was still disappointed. I can still get it to zip closed, but not very easily. The zipper has come off the track a few times and was very difficult to get back on.
Despite that issue, I'm still thinking about getting a new one of the same kind. The size is right, and it's great to be able to take everything with me and have it so easily accessible.
Digital camera Review: Good backpack but small
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great solution to carry your camera and gear, but I would recommend for going one size larger. Although the manufacturer claims this can hold a camera and two lenses I find that it can only hold a smaller DSLR and a small zoom and a small prime lens. So if you have a tele zoom or you need to carry 2 zoom lenses this would be too small. Even with my small zoom and prime it is still tight fit. But it is a great design and great construction, so just go one size up and you'll be really happy.Digital camera Review: Good bag

The bag is as described. It is easy to use as it swings from back to front easily. The main compartment opens so that the camera doesn't fall out. It holds two lenses and a small number of other things like memory cards. It would be nice if there were a way I could attach a tripod to the bag without having to jackleg something.Digital camera Review: Good camera bag
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the most comfortable camera bag I've ever had. It's also very convenient to take the camera out and put it back in. My only dissatisfaction is that it's too small. It only holds one camera w/ lens, one extra lens, and batteries and memory cards. It doesn't have room for water bottles or clothes, which is not very convenient since I use it to carry my camera when I go hiking. Overall, it's a very good camera bag. get the 200 if size is a concern.
