Digital camera Review: Expensive for hobbyist use, but well worth it
Summary: 5 Stars
This backpack is significantly more convenient in actual use than the basic camera bag we had originally. With enough room to attach whichever lens we want to the camera, and with the "slingshot" camera access, it is more convenient/comfortable to both bring along and use.
The downside for us, given the cost, is that there is not an intermediary Slingshot that has the lower cost and smaller carrying capacity of the 100 but the width to accommodate a long-ish lens that the 200 has. It isn't a huge deal because we put non-camera things in the bag when we go out with it, but the arrangement of the interior limits the sorts of things it can carry and the 200 made for a pricey birthday gift.
Digital camera Review: Extremely pleased
Summary: 5 Stars
I orderd my Lowepro Slingshot 200 from Ace Digital. Customer service, condition of item and prompt delivery far execeeded my expectations. The Lowepro 200 Slingshot backpack is beautiful. I have a Sony DSC-H5, the tele lens, macro lens, UV, polarizing lens and another macro lens. Also I was able to put in this bag my spare batteries and extra memory card and some other things I carry like bus schedules. It had plenty of room to spare and the bag was not bulky at all. I love the weather cover and how it is cutely stashed in the bottom of the case. The bag rests comfortably across
my shoulders and gives easy access to my camera. I also have room for more lenses in need be or if I want to expand in the future. I noticed also where I could put a small tripod and a medium size tripod also. It also has a buckle that goes around your waist. I love this bag.
Digital camera Review: Fantasic
Summary: 5 Stars
Absolutely what I needed. Have traveled parts of Europe with this, packed with a D80 and 18-200 lens with hood. Also in there is a card holder, SB-600 flash, portable harddrive, 50mm lens, cleaning clothes. Plus I love the extra space at the top to put gloves, snack or anything else you might need in a day of photography.Digital camera Review: Fantastic Bag!
Summary: 4 Stars
As far as I know, a unique concept. The sling bag allows you to get the camera out of the bag without taking the bag of your shoulders. Works exactly as described, with a few details that prevent it from getting 5 stars (see below).
Excellent Lowepro quality, with the usual eye for detail: a pocket to stow away the lower belt strap, and a protective cloth for the LCD display on the back of a camera, for instance.
There is room for improvement, though: when sliding the bag in front of your belly, only the side can be opened - the back of the bag is turned away. It's not a big deal, you can still get the camera, but the lenses are out of reach. I imagine that if you envision using multiple lenses during a shoot, you will stow the lenses that are to be used temporarily in the 'camera section' of the bag.
The second problem is that there is *a lot* of room for the camera. Too much, if you have a smaller camera, and digital SLR's (this bag is made with DSLR in mind) tend to be smaller than film SLR's. There's nothing to keep the camera from moving around, except the lens sticking in the lens 'tunnel'. I'm sure the lens mount is strong, but I don't like that idea. I plan on putting a beanie bag in the corner of the bag, to give the camera some support, and it can double as a quick 'n dirty mini-tripod.
These are just small issues; I can definetely recommend this bag.
