Worth every penny, November 3, 2007
My best friend has this bag and on our trip across Europe I wanted it more each day. He uses a Nikon D80 and I have a Canon S3. We each have multiple extra lenses, batteries, filters, etc. After looking at every LowePro bag in various shops, the D100 was the perfect size as a shoulder bag and carry on for aviation. The compartments allow for 2 lenses and the third mounted on your camera body. As I don't carry an SLR, I leave a wide-angle mounted and use the extra lense spot to carry a AA battery charger and extra 4 batteries. The rain fly is easy to get on and made a heck of a difference while shooting the Tour de France in the Alpes. The bag is low-key and stealthy - not getting much attention from the wrong people on the Metro. Perfect bag and will never be seen traveling without it!

great bag for travelling, May 23, 2008
I bought this bag thinking it would be the last, and still ended up getting the slingshot 100 which has the most uncomfortable strap i have ever used.
Anyway this bag i assure you is exactly what you paid for,its, strong, well balanced,has a place for all kinds of stuff. holds my Pentax K10D with da* 16-50 attached, and 360 flash. sometimes i squeeze the da 50-200 zoom in with them.
The only negative i have found with this bag, is the top cover of the bag has no padding, not sure why lowepro left that out?
As for the top access zipper , it is not really for getting your camera with lens out, but if you need something like a filter or flash.

Fits large DSLR and telephoto lens, November 30, 2010
I wanted to buy a camera bag that would fit my Nikon D300s with a 70-300mm telephoto zoom lens attached. My other requirement is that the bag's exterior dimensions were small enough to comply with the carry-in rules for sports venues in Madison, WI. For Wisconsin Badger football at Camp Randall Stadium, basketball at the Kohl Center, and volleyball at the Field House the maximum allowable exterior bag dimensions are 8.5 x 11 inches. (No third dimension is specified.) When entering those venues, the security staff are holding a laminated 8.5 x 11 inch card that lists the carry-in rules. They will hold the card up to your bag to ensure it complies with the size requirements.
The Lowepro Stealth Reporter D100 AW camera bag listing says its exterior dimensions are 11.2 x 7.7 x 8.5 inches. However, I believe this is incorrect. My own comparison with a letter-size piece of printer paper and my subsequent success taking this bag into sporting venues proves this to me. (Your experience may vary.)
Finally, the bag itself seems quite nice. The shoulder strap is very adjustable and well-padded. I took out the interior dividers (affixed with Velcro) in order to fit my DSLR body and long lens. If I could change one thing it would be to eliminate the zipper in the top of the bag and replace it with a permanently affixed carrying handle.
