Lowepro Passport Sling II Camera Bag, Mica/Green

I bought this bag as a carry on camera / overnight bag for an upcoming trip to Greece. I am only carrying a small point and shoot (Samsung WB150f). So, I didn't need a large padded compartment, but wanted some protection. The material is lightweight but should be sufficient. The interior is a decent size, but not as large as some of the video reviews and descriptions had me believe. The camera and cables and maybe a few socks, underwear, and a tshirt are about all that would fit. The padded compartment isn't the most convenient or configurable, but should work. I might just get a small camera sleeve to save space. If I were carrying an E mount lens camera and a couple of lenses, this compartment would be about the right size. My biggest dislike is that the external pockets do not have any closure like snaps or zippers. So, you wouldn't want to store anything valuable in them. The overall design is more like a tool bag rather than a camera bag. It would make a good bag for carrying cables and adapters. For the price, I think it will be handy for something. We'll see how it works out as a travel bag.

I love that it can be folded up and put in a larger bag. Very light and can wrap around you either left or right side . Side pockets were okay but what I did to improve on the bag was I had sewed on a Velcro strip so the pockets can be kept closed and nothing would just slip out when kneeing or bending over to pick up something

This is a great size that can hold a DSLR with lens attached, plus one additional lens, filters, etc. Two Velcro interior pockets for extra cards and batteries. Outside pockets on either side, plus and end pocket for two water bottles. The front end expands for additional room. Not too heavy, and is easy on the shoulder.

With a slight modification (added some padding for the second lens) it holds my 5dII with 28-135 zoom attached, my 70-300 zoom . Still some room left for small items. Good comfort. I've only had it a few weeks so I can't review durability

This is my third Lowepro Passport Sling bag. I have one in black, one in mica, and now this new Mica and green one. I carry different camera systems in each of them. The bags are color coded for my three different camera systems. The bag is conforms to the human body and is comfortable to carry. It does not look like a camera bag so there is no " red Flag " for thieves. It is very handy because I can carry a m4/3 system plus room for keys, i-phone, Kindle, passport, and wallet. I love these bags as a " carry-on" bag when flying. Airport security is a breeze as I can place this one smallish bag in a plastic tray at the x-ray station. All my "stuff" is already in the bag so I don't need to empty pockets. I typically carry a m4/3 camera, two lenses, chargers, extra batteries, extra SHDC memory card... and again, all my personal items in this bag with room to spare. The bags are modestly priced. What's not to love about the Passport Sling ?

No problems with the bag, thought reinforcement on the bottom might help. Surprisingly large, but great to put water bottle and even small jacket in bag

I have had this bag for a little over a year and it has been with me EVERYWHERE. In the padded interior 'box' fits a DSLR with 'normal' sized lens attached, one extra lens or flash, special tiny pocket for extra flash cards. Plus a special little pocket for your cell phone and extra DSLR batteries...a special place for water bottle on exterior pocket PLUS it fits my wallet, my tablet, and many other small items such as chargers, keys,tissues, wet wipes, lens cleaning kit, my 7 year olds little treasures (-; ....EVERYTHING!! I have it all in one bag. It's been to Hawaii, to Florida, Amusement parks and the top of the Austrian Alps....it's PERFECT, especially for ladies. It's your purse and camera bag. Especially if you're like me, I rarely leave my house without my camera. It can be worn cross body or 'shoulder bag' style. It's not cumbersome, it is compact and yet holds everything! This bag is PERFECT.
