Digital camera reviews of Lowepro Slingshot 200 All Weather Backpack (Black)
Digital camera Review: A good working bag
Summary: 5 Stars
Years ago I owned a specialty camera store. When I sold it I acumulated as much stuff as I thought I would need. I have several bags. This is a very good working bag for going out and shooting. It's comfortable and has lots of room. There is so much room that if you fill it up its kind of heavy. If you don't really need all the stuff considder the smaller 100 series.Digital camera 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.
Digital camera Review: A great bag for great equiptment
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought the Olympus E620 DSLR, three lenses, fliters, and other equiptment which was a nice investment. I also bought a Olympus DSLR camera bag for the E620, however the bag did not give the type of protection that I desired for my camera and equiptment. Buying the Lowepro Slingshot 200 was not only a great investment, but possibly one of the smartist moves I've made pertaining to Photo equiptment.
I have the room I need, the bag is waterproof, it's padded in all the right places, and It didn't cost me an arm and a leg. Lowepro has a bag for any situation or purpoes.
Keep up the great work Lowepro.

Digital camera Review: A great bag!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recommend this bag because it have a good size given that neither it's not small or it's big.
I just bought it recently and I like to try before giving my opinion, but certainly the quality of materials is excellent.
Digital camera Review: A great walkaround bag
Summary: 5 Stars
I wrote a review last year for the 100 model, which is just a smaller version, and my review here will be very similar. Since that review I've sold the 100 and bought the 200. Between the two I've had them for a little less than two years and recommend them. It's a great walkaround bag. The first time you're in a place where you want to get to your camera quickly or don't want to put your bag down you'll appreciate the sling design. Just be aware for a long mountain hike you may feel the weight on your shoulder after some time.
My only error was getting the 100 - I'm glad to have the 200 now. I like to keep my lens hood in place which requires a little more room. I also found that I needed a more room for non-camera things like food, etc.
A word on the all-weather cover - a great feature. Last year I was in Bermuda and walked to a beach about 25 minutes away. Just as I arrived a soaking rain began that didn't let up for the entire walk back. If I hadn't been able to pull on the cover my equipment would have been soaked. Now I wouldn't buy a bag without one.
