Digital camera reviews of Lowepro Slingshot 200 All Weather Backpack (Black)

Digital camera Review: Better than the competition
Summary: 4 Stars

I shopped a lot for slig bags as it seemed the way to go with the way I use my camera. The bag is light and very comfortable. The details that they worked out for it makes it impossible to beat. The only reason for not giving it a 5 is that when you swing it around front it is a little high for my long arms. Plus, I grade tough.Would not trade for the competition.

Digital camera Review: Buyer Beware ... Same Review Multiple Products
Summary: 1 Stars

Noticed that the same review has been entered for the Lowepro Slingshot 200 and 300. Here is the one for the Slingshot AW300. The one for the AW200 is below that.

Congratulations! Your search is FINALLY over., February 1, 2007
Look no more. You've spent precious time and money trying to find the perfect bag and every one comes up short for one reason or another. You do your research and just when you think you've found your perfect bag your disappointed once again.

Well, I've got good news for you gadget gurus. This is without a doubt the best all around bag available today. Just when you thought every iteration of camera bag had already been invented and that you were consigned to a life of half baked solutions along comes Lowepro with this marvelous innovative bag. Tamarac may have invented the "sling" bag but leave it to Lowepro to perfect the idea into a nearly perfect solution.

This bag is easy to carry and does NOT cause that most nagging of camera bag woes, the dreaded shoulder strain. It is of sufficient size to carry everything I need INCLUDING my hi-definition video camera. And if this bag is too big for you - not to worry! Get the 200 AW or even the smaller 100 AW.

Access to your camera equipment while walking about is a snap! Or should I say a zip. simply rotate the camera bag around to your front and everything you need is readily accessible. And the scourge of backpacks, namely the equipment falling out, is avoided by two clips which keep you from opening the bag too far.

This is the perfect day bag for short hikes or city trekking - take your pick. Do yourself a favor and buy this bag or one its little brothers, the 100 AW or the 200 AW.


Here is the almost word-for-word review for the Slingshot AW200:

Digital camera Review: Camera Backpack
Summary: 5 Stars

The bag had enough dividers to form pockets for all my accessories. The dividers were adjustable with Velcro adjusters.

Digital camera Review: Carry your SLR, lenses, accessories
Summary: 4 Stars

Works as advertised. You really can swing it around and get your camera out quickly, and even steady your elbows on it when it is in front. Still working out best compartment arrangement. Have not used the weather cover yet, but I did find it (be sure to locate it before tossing the manuals). I may add a little more foam at the base under the camera when the backpack is upright. Surprisingly comfortable on long walks.

Digital camera Review: Colorado Mountain Magic !!
Summary: 5 Stars

When hiking in the mountains this pack is comfortable, light and totally
accesible -just unhook right side clip and slide pack to the right- the camera is just two zips away. And you won't scare the wildlife away- waving your arms trying to get a traditional pack off your shoulders !!!!
It also has an all weather sheath when the weather turns (about every 5 minutes or so).I can even wear a waist pack along with it(don't forget plenty of water). Excellent designed product with decent space for 1 camera with an extra lens or two plus a few accessories.
