As a cabin crew, we have the opportunity to travel a lot & see places. However we're bound abide to luggage limit & this is ideal to put in a suitcase. It's robust, comfy on the back & you can easily adjust the pads if you have bigger lenses. However, if you have hoods with your lenses, you will struggle to put more than 2 hoods. Be careful... Nevertheless, it's a Lowepro so you cannot go wrong. So to resume, lenses with no hoods-good buy & with hoods no buy.

This is a great bag for a small kit. I have a 50D, 24-70 f/2.8L, 70-200 f/4L, 430EX II, extra battery, filters, and CF cards in this bag and it is filled to the brim. It works, but there is no way I could fit anything else into it. I just ordered a Lowepro Vertex 100 so I could add more lenes, a Macbook, and other things to the kit.

If you are looking for the sturdiest bag for 1 camera and 2 lenses, this is it. If you need more room try the 300 or 400.

Keeps your equipment secure while on your back. It has plenty of room for SLR plus lens and 2 additional lenses along with areas for memory cards, batteries, cleaning supplies and other necessary items. Right size, not too big.

The bag fits me well and is very comfortable. The size is sufficient for camera with lens, an additional lens, and a few other items like filters or small strobe. The added flap and strap allows you to securely carry a tripod/monopod. Access to the contents requires removal of the backpack (despite what the ad says) but this is easy. A welcome feature is the waist strap and the chest strap. The padded back area provides a good deal of comfort when hiking.

I would recommend it for short, day long excursions.

This is the greatest bag if you are concerned of your camera being stolen while carrying it! However if you have more than two lenses I would recommend get the 300 or 400. Then again I have a D40 with an attached 70-300mm lens,18-55mm, and a 55-200mm all in this bag with room!

I bought the Flipside 200, because I liked the style and the security it provides. I was debating between the Flipside 200 vs. the Slingshot 100. I like the style of the Flipside better, but must admit that the Slingshot would have probably suited me better, because it is much easier to access the equipment. However, the Flipside is better for hiking trips when you also want to lug a tripod thanks to the built-in external tripod holder. The Flipside also allows more customization in its interior compartment (via detachable velcro dividers), and it's roomier. I've been able to put in the bag my Oly E-510 and E-410 along with the 14-54mm, 40-150mm, and 25mm lenses, plus the FL36R flash, and assorted filters and batteries. I also attached a Slik Sprint Pro tripod to the outside of the bag. Not bad at all for a small bag. The construction is very good. However, if you have broad shoulders, beware. Given that the Flipside 200 is fairly skinny and narrow, the placement of the straps might be a little bit too close together for someone with broad shoulders (i.e. me). The problem is somewhat resolved by loosening up the straps. But then, the bag bounces around a bit too much. But I think I've found a decent compromise. Overall, it's a nice bag if you know its limitations. Obviously, it's harder to reach stuff quickly (more than I initially imagined). But it provides security and protection for the gear very well.

I thought the backpack was too small although I dont have much equipment. This bag might be good if you need something light and not bringing a lot of equipment. I think that if you are expanding your gear and this is where you carry most of your equipment go with a different bag.

Comments about Lowepro Lowepro Flipside 200 Digital SLR Backpack, Water Resistant with Removable Accessory Pouch, Black:

This is a great bag for anyone who doesn't have a lot of lenses. I personally manage on 2-3 lenses tops with one camera, so this bag is perfect. There's plenty of room for that many lenses plus some extra space for cords, memory cards, etc. The tripod support system is a little weak (just one strap to hold everything) but otherwise a great buy. Don't get this if you plan on getting hoards of equipment in the future; buy something bigger. Also, if you need to be able to access your camera fast for wildlife and whatnot, this isn't a bag for you.

Great bag. I use it every day for my Full-format DSLR, and 3 extra lenses and cards. Plenty of room but not too big for carrying everywhere.

Comments about Lowepro Lowepro Flipside 200 Digital SLR Backpack, Water Resistant with Removable Accessory Pouch, Black:

This is a great back-pack if you want to carry a medium DSLR camera and maximum two lenses. I carry my camera and all accessories in this single back-pack. It makes a fashion statement and does not compromise on features. It has a very innovative strap mechanism to carry even your tripod, securely.

A word of caution though would be that broad shoulders might find it difficult to carry around.

This backpack does everthing that it said that it would. I apparently have too much stuff and should of bought the 300 since I have no room for expansion.

Sturdy, well made bag. Slightly smaller than I thought it was. Still very functional for day trips and walking shoots.

I also purchased this over the Slingshot, which is $30 more. I am a whopping 5'2" and on the smaller side, so this bag was perfect for my small frame that cant carry 50 lbs worth of gear around all day. That said, I do have slightly broad shoulders for someone of my height, and I find this bag to be very comfortable. I swapped everything out of my Crumpler 6 Million Dollar Home into this bag, since the weight of the messenger bag style was hurting my shoulder. Not a problem at all with this bag. Even with gear not evenly distributed in the bag, the bag is very lightweight and comfortable, even when it is full. I can put my Nikon D300 with 24-85mm f/2.8, Nikon 105mm macro lens (huge), lens caps, hoods, cards, batteries, charger, cable release, manual, etc in here and Is till have room left over. However, I do not have room for all of that and a flash should I decide to procure one in the future.

Bought this bag and returned it. I have narrow shoulders and the backpack didn't fit comfortably across them. In order to secure it, I had to strap both the waist belt and the chest belt - probably not an issue for men, but not very comfortable for women! A nice bag, but not as comfortable as I had hoped. Those with broader shoulders would probably like this bag much more than I did.

I was debating over this or the slingshot 200 and wound up getting this one. I am very happy with my decision. Can easily store large lens attached to nikon d80, plus 4 small to medium lenses plus flash unit. Doenst come with waterproof jacket but the tripod strap was worth the exchange. Just make sure to carry a trashbag in case you get caught in the rain. Gear is not as easily accessible as the slingshot but I dont think that is going to be a downfall for me, youll have to decide for yourself.
