3.0 out of 5 stars my opinion on this bag,, January 6, 2009
Color Name:Black|Size Name:One Size
Lowepro has taken an industry by storm with their bags. This bag is the 3rd Lowepro bag I've owned over the last 4 years (All upgrades).

I'll just get my details out of the way. In this bag I carry a Canon XTi body with the Battery grip, an attached Canon 28-135mm IS USM, the "nifty 50" 50mm f/1.8 II Speedlight 580EX II Flash and there is room in there for 1 more lens (I've got a Tamron 75-300mm in the mail) and an small omnibounce, cleaning solution and a CF card reader.. I ordered this to have something small and easy to carry on my trips out of state that I could carry on to the plane with me and still have a good compliment of equipment without lugging everything along..

Pros:
Very well built bag, like I had mentioned earlier, this is my 3rd Lowepro bag.. I've never been let down by the quality and this bag does not disappoint.

Security is top of the line as well on this bag with the opening back panel.

The bag holds a variety of equipment while maintaining the "this ain't a camera bag" look..

Cons:
There were a few things that I didn't like about this bag... they are listed below.
The sliplock system mounting straps are very poorly located on the shoulder straps. If one were to use these sliplocks, with lens cases like the 1N and 1W, they would find that the cases sit right on the tops of your shoulders if ya carry the bag cinched down, or over the shoulder if ya wear the bag lower on your back with the shoulder straps extended. These would have been put to better use on the side of the bag where they won't impede view or full range of motion for your head.

The side pocket is very small and very tight..

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice pack May 22, 2008
By EFis
Color Name:Black|Size Name:One Size
I'm very satisfied with the purchase of this pack. I don't have a lot of equipment or glass, but the small top-loader I had was not cutting it any more. I was looking for a relatively small pack to store a few lenses, flash, chargers, and of course the camera. I tried to like the Lowepro Slingshot, but ultimately wasn't satisfied with the side load design. It's a great concept and I know that it's great for getting those quick shots, but I was concerned with its ability to accommodate a long lens attached to the camera. This bag is supposedly designed to allow you to leave the straps that buckle across your hips connected so you can swing it around and open the pack while standing. I haven't tested this and really have no intention of using it in this fashion, so I can't give an opinion. It was not a factor in my decision, but it may be in yours. Here are the pros and cons in my opinion.

Pros
- Decent storage for anyone with a light inventory
- Typical adjustable configuration using Velcro dividers
- Security of having the zippers against your back
- Clean design

Cons
- Not much storage room for other items
- The zipper can be a bit awkward since they are partially hidden
- Not All Weather, but they may come out with that version

I like the idea of having the zippers against your back for two reasons. The first is security. I really don't have to worry much about anyone trying to gain access to my bag in a crowd. Also, if you're like me I constantly worry about my gear falling out because the zipper was not closed all the way. I've had some bad experiences with standard backpacks that did this when the zipper was not FULLY closed. It wasn't even that I forgot to zip it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very nice backpack with a fatal flaw April 16, 2008
By Fofifa
Color Name:Red|Amazon Verified Purchase
Your needs/requirements may be different, but since this bag was chosen for my needs - what kind of bag was I looking for?

1)Small, light, and comfortable to carry on long hikes. I don't need to carry a lot of gear.
2)Reasonably quick access to the camera.
3)Something that doesn't scream "camera bag". Security from theft - high priority.
4)Decent quality.

Pros:

1)It is small and light and comfortable to carry on long hikes. It's a backpack with well padded straps.
2)Access to the camera is reasonably quick - shrug off the straps and swing to the front, flip it so the back is exposed (it is held to your body by the waist belt), unzip the back flap and access your camera - works reasonably fast.
3)It doesn't look like a camera bag, plus I picked red (usually camera bags are black or gray). The fact that you can only open it from the back flap (against your back) means it cannot be opened surreptitiously (for example by a thief on a crowded subway).
4)Good quality. Ergonomic handle and loop to pick up by. Bottle mesh, enough pockets for the basics. Nice monopod/small tripod holding solution.

Cons:

1)It is perhaps a touch *too* small. I can fit my Nikon D300 DSLR with mounted Nikkor 18-200VR lens and hood, and maybe a couple of small primes, or alternatively: D300 + 18-200 lens and maybe squeeze in a 2.8 zoom (but it would be tough) and no primes. I'm quite minimalist, so it doesn't bother me, but if you need more gear, you may want to consider the next model up - the Flipside 300.
2)While the "flipping" of the backpack works quickly and well, the zippers are not optimally placed - there's always some struggle to zip open and zip close.
3)The BIGGEST FLAW: internal dividers are a design disaster.
