Great Bag, But Only a Starter!
Well, I bought this after a recommendation from a forum. It was all great, the bag is robust, secure and transported my D60 SLR with two lenses fine. There is space for three lenses at a push. The whole slingshot feature is great. Access to the camera is easy to access and I feel my gear is secure with the clips and zip system.
Three months on, I have grown out of it as I wanted a bag what I could carry a drink and sandwiches in. I also have four lenses, a lens hood and a spare battery to transport with me.
I'd recommend this bag for those just starting out, but if you plan to get serious, get a bag that doesn't LOOK like a photographers bag. Look at double strap bags as this one can last for a few hours but all day could be painful on the shoulder!
Excellent bag, well worth the money
(this review is for the Lowepro Slingshot 200 shoulder bag/sling bag for digital SLR - a while ago all the different size lowepro reviews were bundled together, very confusing!)
I bought this bag almost a year ago for my canon 350D and was a bit apprehensive spending so much on a bag. A year later and I'm still smiling. A well designed bag with incredible amount of space inside, and in the outside compartments. I can fit my canon with three mid size lenses, and one small lens, large diffuser, collapsible lens hood, full size flash, spare slimline camera, cleaning kit, spare batteries and 2 battery chargers! Took a while arranging them in a certain fashion like reversing the diffuser over the camera lens and rearranging the velcro walls inside the bag.
I currently have my bag packed to the hilt and with only one main strap can get a bit uncomfortable, specially if you are used to using two strap back packs. Swinging the bag from your back to the side is incredibly easy and saves having to take the backpack off to get your camera out. I like the small attention to detail like the lcd screen cover - a small slip of cloth that cover the cameras lcd screen, the hidden water cover, and straps with loops apparently for tripods although I carry my tripods seperately. The inside walls attach via velcro so you can change the compartment size to suit your needs.
Bottom Line: Incredible amount of room in this bag. Well constructed. Not everyone will like the one strap - with the bag fully loaded I found it a bit uncomfortable for long periods - I would try one on at a shop first to see if you like the feel. I use it to store all my camera bits apart from the tripods and a separate smaller bag for taking just the camera on short shoots. Well recommended product.
Great bag for an even greater camera!
I purchased this bag to go with my Olympus E510. At first I was sceptical whether it would fit all my gear, but surprisingly it fits my camera with 4 lens and an electronic flash! you read it right!!
The main hold has 4 pockets, I would call them East, West, North & South. The North holds my 70-300mm telephoto lens, West hold the camera with 14-42mm lens attached, East holds 50mm Macro lens and the South holds my Sigma 10-20mm Wide angle lens. I keep the FL-36 electronic flash on top of 70-300mm lens, which also keeps the lens from rolling as there is some free space. However, I have done a couple of minor changes to accommodate all these.
Firstly, I have replaced the thick partition between East and West pockets with a thin one from another bag. Secondly, I had to cut the card holder inside the main hold, as it was pressing the LCD of my camera and I couldn't completely close the bag. Now everything fits snugly.
There is a small hold at the top, in which I have the blower, rain proof cover for my camera and other stuffs. The front pouch hold the batteries, lens pen etc.
However, there are a couple of design flaws. First, the bag with all my gears in weigh about 4Kgs. and you start to get pain in your right shoulder after few hours. The design flaw prevents swapping on to your left shoulder. Second, the bag is not quite safe, especially if you are travelling in a crowded train etc. I would have liked a metal zipper pull to the existing band pull, so that I could lock my bag.
Couple of minor issues apart, this is a great bag if your camera is a small DSLR like Olys, Nikon D60 etc.
