The Lowepro SlingShot 200 AW is a quality item with sufficient padding, a great design for ease of carrying and use. Its great if you dont have to many lenses or acceseries.

I keep it packed and am ready to go play whenever the opportunity arises. This bag is comfortable to carry, keeps my equipment safe & dry, holds everything I need except the tripod!

I have the 100AW for a smaller SLR and it is much more comfortable. I carry this one by the handle or on one shoulder. It feels uncomfortable on my back.

Great bag, very practical for the photographer on the go! Holds camera, 3 lenses, plus a few other small pieces of equipment. Comfortable, easy access to gear. Best part, bought the bag thru Adorama and saved over $ compared to any brick-and-mortar store, and about $ cheaper than that other giant online retailer!

I have a few SlipLock lens cases and bags so the LowePro 200AW with its 4 attachment points was attractive because it fit with my investment in SlipLock gear already. The main compartment of mine, in addition to the K5 w grip, has my DAL55-300, M100 Macro, DA35/2.4, FA50/1.4, Pz-AF 2x teleconverter, M50 Macro, fast charger w car adapter, lens pen, and 4 SD cards in the flap. The top compartment has 6 filters (2 each 49, 58 & 72mm) and my Bell & Howell Z680AF flash. The front compartment has my extra batteries for the camera and flash. On the outside side SlipLock attachment I have a lens bag with my Tamron 10-24. Pros: Main Compartment holds lenses up to the DA55-300 length with ease Main compartment is reconfigurable via velcro K5 with D-BG4 Grip attached with 18-135 fits in the front compartment Interior storage in the main compartment with velcro closure for SD cards and other small flatish items Has 4 SlipLock attachment points (strap, side, top slanted area, and front). Stands on its own with flat bottom Cross strap secures tightly to body and stores away in its own compartment when not needed Good cushioning on both back and main strap Interior compartment cloth to protect Camera's LCD screen Strap is long enough for 6'3" person All-Weather cover that stores away easily Cons: Narrow (can't really have a superzoom attached in the quick draw position Bottom not reinforced (like some of the Case Logic bags) No tripod attachment point LowePro does not make a Tripod SlipLock add-on

This is a great bag, it can be a bit bulky, but what do you expect when you have a bag that is meant for carrying all your gear! The built in all weather poncho was great since the day after it came it was raining and I had to bring my camera out, it kept everything perfectly dry! As far as storage, I only have two lenses at the moment, so it carries my spare in the lower compartment and I keep the other 18-55 attached to my KR in the sling, which is easily accessed for immediate use! Overall it was a great price for a great bag.

The SlingShot is a bag that seems to have exactly what is needed in it when I am out taking photos. I look forward to using it with the new camera I will be buying.

I got this bag because I was going on a trip and needed to take a few things along with me. The camera obviously, along with some others. The fact that this bag has adjustable velcro borders makes it fantastic for all the stuff I wanted to put into it. Kinda annoying to make the adjustments, but an awesome feature nontheless. 4 stars only because it's not that comfortable, but hey that can also be me adjusting to the sling style. Still a great bag.

I have the 100 model but needed a little more room so this is perfect for my Canon xsi camera with three lens, 100mm f2, 50mm f1.4, 50-250mm and my Tameron 17-55mm, plus speed lite flash, accessories,charger.

This bag is the perfect size. Not too large and not too small. When full it can get heavy but that has a lot to do with the equipment. The bag alone isn't heavy at all. Adjusts to body well. Happy with purchase.

I already owned the A100, this bag is larger and roomier. It's perfect for carrying the "extra" gear, over and above the camera and one extra lens. It will be an excellent travel bag.

I really love the slingshot line of bags. I had the 100 model and needed more room so I decided to go with this bag. It is the same great bag but with more room. Too bad that it doesn't have a tripod holder, but that's fixed on the 202AW model.

It's obvious Lowepro has been at this for a while using this Sling bag. Think about it, and it's here. About the only thing I could ask for is another movable hook and loop fastened interior divider. My D90 just isn't that wide and with another divider I could stow away lighter items towards the front, without making the bag any bigger. It's almost wasted space. I can't relate to reviewers who say they wished it could accomodate a tripod. It would have to be a bigger bag, defeating the purpose. If anything it's almost too large.

I'm an insulin dependent diabetic, mother of a toddler & aspiring photographer... I have a lot of stuff to haul around! This bag is my go-to - i keep my camera, lenses & various accessories in it at all times & STILL have room for a couple snacks & blood test meter.

Very reliable. Use it for outdoor photography.

I use this to protect and transport camera in the woods and swamps while hunting. If you take the dividers out a 7D with 70-200 2.8 IS will fit if you put it in parallel with the bag. Very comfortable , you tend to forget it's even there. There is room for a 1.4 ext in the top compartment but not attached to camera. If you want to carry a lot of gear get a bigger backpack. This works great for me to just carry camera.

I'm so cheap I was going to make my own backpack for my camera gear for my Maine vacation- I found this bag to exceed all my expectations- I was able to fit a Nikon d5000 w/ 10-24mm lens, two other lens- sb600 flash, a go pro hero and all the accessories. I found it to be the right size ( which was a concern because I bought it on the internet). My only complaint is there is no way to attach a tripod, other than that I was really happy. I'm really happy that I didn't try to make my own.

I use this product to transport my Canon EOS Rebel XS, Canon EF 24-105 mm f/4L, Canon Speedlite 430EX, and a few batteries. It is perfect when going shoot to shoot or from work to photo class. I like how you can move the Velcro padding to customize your needs. The one strap helps you get past the "one strap" rule some museums have. The bag is a little strange with clipping the straps. It took some practice then became second nature. The quick access feature was another learning curve.

It's a good bag, although I'm far happier with it at the sale price. Also think the 202 and 200 should be the same product and should sell for about $50.

I shoot Friday Night Sports and this is perfect for my needs....can carry all I need..weatherproof........comfortable. I replaced another bag with this one and it is not a bit cumbersome.

I have Nikon D7000 with 28-300 lens and one or two filters attached. It's still have room in front of the lens. For local or car travel, I would bring the bag. For airplane travel, I usually just put on Zing neoprene sleeve and I can put my camera into any backpack I carry. (travel light) This is a very well thought out and made bag. Before buying 200AW, I thought about getting 202AW for its tripod holder. But it seems AW202 can only hold a very small tripod besides Adorama was offering a big discount on 200AW. I will figure out some way to attach the tripod to the bag. Overall, I am very happy with this bag.

Perfect size for serious but casual photo trips, big enough to fit most body, lens combo one would need. One strap can get you into museums, etc, that do not allow larger bags. It could be improved by having some sort of external strap for a small tripod, but I guess one can't have it all.

This is the 2nd bag that I have purchased Needed another for spare. I can pack 2 bodies flash and spare lenses in this bag also other extras

After 3 years of very light use the main zipper separated from the fabric. The bag is useless now. It is made in China indeed.

Over the years, I have purchased this bag in small (100w), medium (200w), and large (300W). The 200W gets the most use when I only want to bring 2-3 lenses to keep the weight down. I usually end up wearing it all day, and it works well as long as you are not in crowded spaces, as it is a bit on the bulky side. Here's my standard rig for the main part of this bag: 1 Nikon D300 body with attached Nikkor 105mm 2.8 lens;Nikkor 10.5mm fisheye;Tamron 18-270mm lens; Hoodman H-RAV right angle viewfinder attachment; various filters. The top and front pockets leave plenty of room for additional gear. I really like this bag except for one huge negative- no tripod attachment! Come on Lowe Pro- how could you miss this? This one deficit makes me think twice about grabbing this bag every time, as I ALWAYS bring a tripod. Lowe Pro- can you come up with something to attach to this series of bags to carry a tripod?? Also, in more recent times, I need to bring a laptop or netbook when I travel. With airlines limiting carry-on luggage, bringing this bag + separate laptop bag is verboten. Lastly, if you find the need to change lenses frequently in the field, the sling-style bags may be a little cumbersome, I have switched to a messenger-style bag worn with strap cross-body for those circumstances.
