Comments about Lowepro Lowepro Inverse 200AW Beltpack Camera Case, All Weather Cover, Arctic Blue:
I purchased this pack to use while biking and hiking where I did not want the weight of my much larger camera backpack. It has room for my Canon EOS 50D with my favorite 24-105 mm zoom lens. I also carry my 10-22mm zoom in the side pocket. It turns out that is more than enough weight pulling at my waist so I don't fill the other pocket with anything else. More weight than this is uncomfortable for me. Hence I think the smaller version of this pack is probably the way to go.
As I move about, I find that I must cinch the strap now and then. However when I do cinch the strap, the buckle often gives way and just pops open.
So other than the plastic buckle, this is a good waist pack.

The bag is most useful when you need your hands free. It will hold my Nikon D80 with a lens attached and two other lenses and assorted acessories. You need to resist the impulse to load up to maximum because when the bag is heavy it tends to sag away from your waist. I find that I have to keep the belt tight in order to keep the bag comfortable on my waist. The straps tend to loosen when I am wearing it more than an hour or so, and then I have to re-adjust the waist strap. But I tend to carry too much stuff just in case I need it. If you buy the bag, plan on what you really need to carry for the day so that you can keep the bag as light as you can, and you should be ok. Its a great bag if you dont over load.
