Ok, so you may be wondering whether it is worth it to go with a knockoff right? I mean it's normally not a good idea, but I have to say this camera bag is an exception to the rule!

SIZE:
Don't let the size fool you when you get it. I manage to fit a TLR, SLR with stock lens, two zooms and a macro zoom lens, a flash extra film and memory cards, filters and batteries all in here comfortable, without having to sit on it to close it up (not a good idea..). It's kinda of like the Toyota Prius of bags, looks small but looks are deceiving.

QUALITY:
I have literally travelled all over the world with this camera bag over the past 6 months, and I have no complaints. No zippers are going, nothing is getting worn out and the fabric is very durable...and believe me I am not exactly the most graceful of people when it comes to carrying bags with me. Nevertheless, the bag is doing great! The straps are made out of great material, and I even hang DSLR holsters with cameras off of the side with Climbing clips, and not a stitch has moved!

My friend who is also a photographer bought the Lowepro version of this, while myself and another friend bought the OnePolar model. We compared them side by side and the difference is hardly noticeable! The only difference we can find is that the Lowepro has one extra mini pocket for memory cards...that's it.

VALUE:
I paid 45 bucks for mine at the beginning of this year, and even though the price has dropped $20 I am not dissatisfied. I would even pay the 45 dollars again, happily. It's still a third of the price of the Lowepro and worth it.


OVERALL:
A resounding yes. This is a $25 VERY well spent and you will not be unhappy! While I normally like to stick to name brands, OnePolar really has taken the cake on this one.

UPDATE*****

So it had been over a year, and I can report NO problems at all! This bag still serves me well and has been through the wringer a few times! Still TOTALLY recommend this baG!

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good Lowepro knock-off, October 3, 2009

This bag appears to be a well made Chinese (Onepolar) knock-off of the Lowepro Slingshot 100AW. Overall, it is very similar with the following exceptions: no microfiber LCD cloth included (pouch is there, just no cloth), zipper pull cords are red/white striped in color vs all black, zipper pull cord end tab shape slightly larger and more angular vs smaller teardrop shape, all buckles are very very similar but not exactly identical, accent fabric panel color is almost black vs silver gray, and of course it's missing all the Lowepro sewn-in logo's. Materials and workmanship were generally very similar to identical.

One quality difference worth noting was the adjustable insert panels. These foam rubber/cloth covered removable walls seem a little thinner and more flexible. The foam was also slightly undersized meaning it didn't completely fill the cloth cover volume from end-to-end making them less able to maintain a rigid shape to the compartments they form. The other difference was with the straps that prevent the main compartment door from opening too far so the camera won't fall out by accident. They work fine, but are a bit longer than on the Lowepro so they don't lay as flat against the pack as they should when closed.

So in the end while this bag has a few compromises, it is very comparable to the Lowepro. Side-by-side you can tell a difference, but I'd estimate they're 80-90% similar.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice camera bag - small footprint but holds a lot, September 10, 2009

The 100AW is the smaller version of the 200AW. For me, holds a D90, an extra lens (rooms for 2), flash, compact digital camera, and a horde of accessories. Plus, it is very lean and smallish in size, i.e., perfect for travel or going about town. The quality is better than I expected [for such a reasonable price] and the sling approach is nice. I found out about the rain protector by reading another review...very cool! Last, it has a number of well-engineered side pockets and internal pockets to insert memory cards, lens cloths, you name it. 5/5 overall and you get a lot for a low, low price.
