This is just what I was looking for. I wanted a bag that was light but sturdy, waterproof, had compartments that were easily accessed when on the go, and room to grow for someone just starting their journey with their first DSLR.

Great pack for keeping the day light. I don't have lots of gear but this holds what I've got perfectly. Holds Nikon D5000 with either kit lens or 35mm lens perfectly while offers room to hold whichever lens is not being used and probably another lens if I ever end up buying one. Various pockets provide plenty of room for extra batteries, memory, small cleaning supplies, a pocket point and shoot, cell phone and some other small things if you want. The weather cover is a nice feature if you get caught in rain. The ability to swing it around and quickly access your camera without opening the whole bag is handy and works well. The extra support strap secures the bag if you need to climb somewhere and don't want the bag to move.

the ease of use

I bought this for a trip to Yosemite. Wore it the whole time with a Canon 40D, extra lens & accessories inside. It made carrying the weight all day for four days very comfortable and I am a small guy (5'-4", 140 lbs).

This bag is the perfect size for daily shoots of sporting events and family pictures.

Got this for a Sony Alpha 350 and love it. It's got room for the camera, a zoom lens, cleaning kit, extra battery, and some room to spare. Well made, but you expect that from Lowepro.

I use this bag for walking around in the desert or about town, looking for wildlife, flowers, candid shots of people...whatever catches my eye. I can easily store my Olympus E-520, 14-42mm lens and 40-150mm lens, both lens hoods, spare battery, filters, extra memory cards, "rain gear" for the camera, and even some odds and ends.

It makes walks in the desert and the unexpected not so "scary". I can carry what I need to get the shot I want, without lugging around a huge camera backpack, and tons of gear. Works great for scrambling around tallus fields and streams looking for snakes and lizards or casting a fly to rising trout, as well.

Keeps my camera protected and out of the way, without being overly cumbersome or bulky, and I always have quick-access to my camera for those unexpected opportunities.

Excellent prodcut!

Used the Lowepro bag on a recent trip to Panama and it was great. I could comfortably and quickly access my camera throughout the trip.

Comments about Lowepro Lowepro SlingShot 100 AW, All-Weather BackPack/Sling Bag Converter:

This is a small, lightweight bag for day trips with a minimal amount of gear. It is too small for my Canon 5D Mark II with the 24-105 lens attached. It is also too small to put my 70-200mm f/4.0 lens in. If you have any of the Digital Rebels with the 18-55mm lens and son't want to carry much other gear, this would work well for you. If you have any of the prosumer Canon cameras or want to carry a flash or long telephoto lens, get one of the larger bags.
The top compartment is also very small.

I am torn on this bag. My D90 with 18-200 lens does not fit in the "recommended" way. I had to take out all the dividers on the right (bottom) side and put the camera in 90 degrees to the picture on this website so the lens points down. The 18-200 is a decent sized lens but the right hand dividers are just too long to allow the protruding grip on the D90 to go in far enough. I can still remove the camera fairly well but I lose the cool dividers on the right side. I am left with the skinnier rectangular pocket on the left (top) side.

I love the design features of this bag. All the ergonomics, pouches, etc. are very well thought out. Which is why I am torn. The Skingshot 200 is WAY too big for at least what I have - the camera drowns in it. I wish there was a "150" that accommodated the slightly larger setup I have without too much extra space.

So I definitely recommend this bag but try your actual setup before making a decision. I hope I can convince myself to keep it.

Lowepro is a brand you can trust from a store you can count on to have what you need.

Comments about Lowepro Lowepro SlingShot 100 AW, All-Weather BackPack/Sling Bag Converter:

I have a large Lowepro backpack and I usually carry too much equiptment just because I can.
With the Slingshot 100 I carry only what I need.
This bag feels so comfortable, because of the size and it's padded sling, that I hardly take it off when I'm out shooting. I can carry my SLR with a lens attached, with an extra lens and flash. I only wish the bag was made with a top zipper on the main compartment instead of the side. Overall, I like this bag a lot!!

Comments about Lowepro Lowepro SlingShot 100 AW, All-Weather BackPack/Sling Bag Converter:

The LowePro Slingshot 100 AW is perfect for minimal profile excursions. It fits my Canon 50D w/BG-E2N grip and 18-200mm lens, but the main compartment isn't big enough for another lens. I store my remote cord there, and my 580EX flash in the top compartment. Aside from a CF card or Sharpie, don't expect to store much more in this bag. I took this skiing and it was absolutely ideal. The sling/single shoulder strap takes a little getting used to, but it slides around your body for easy one-handed access.

Waking around where ever.. When you only need your camera and a few lenses, and you want to keep them close, safe, and easily accessible.

I just grab it and go with the camera and two additional lenses safely tucked inside.

Larger than expected to just carry a DSLR room for many accessories.

the product was useful when i was using it during our disneyland travel, its compact and light the gadgets that i needed to go in there is great enough for me to carry around, the whole day I carry it does not bother me at all and also serves me as additional warmth to my body in cold weather.

Comments about Lowepro Lowepro SlingShot 100 AW, All-Weather BackPack/Sling Bag Converter:

Love this bag! I carry a D40 with the 18-200mm DX VR lens and battery grip. The lens hood, extra lens, external flash, battery chargers and filters all fit, not too snug, and there is still the small top compartment which could hold your energy bars and gloves, etc.

Took it rock-climbing, ascended two 185' faces without any shifting or discomfort. Locked in, I was able to access my camera with one hand and take pictures from the midpoint of the cliff.

Took it dirt-biking, used the built in cover cause it rained a bit while getting there...it's just too cool. They've thought of everything.

Just buy it already.

Comments about Lowepro Lowepro SlingShot 100 AW, All-Weather BackPack/Sling Bag Converter:

[...]. It is very easy to use, and lightweight. It has just enough room for my Canon Xsi with lens attached, an additional lens, and a flash. There are two outside pockets that hold camera cards, the instruction manual and a lens cleaning kit, with a little room left over for a 3-1-1 bag if you don't want an additional carry-on for plane rides. I like the fact that it is not bulky and one can get through tight spaces without bumping and knocking into things. The only down side is that there is no outside net pocket for storing an umbrella or a bottle of water. However, there are loops for attaching accessories, if necessary.

I bought this bag to take on vacation--easier to carry than the bag I had. I wanted the smallest bag that would work. My Nikon D80 and zoom lens just fit, but they fit and that's what matters. My small camcorder also fits, along with 1 extra lens. That's all I need on a trip. Love the bag. It was the right choice for me!

Comments about Lowepro Lowepro SlingShot 100 AW, All-Weather BackPack/Sling Bag Converter:

I've now owned this bag for 6 months. I took it with me while touring Italy and I use it at every shoot I go on. It fits great, is comfortable, holds enough gear to stay mobile but useful and doesn't make me look like a tourist pack mule. In it I carried a Canon 30D, 300mm lens, 50mm lens and a 105mm L lens. All that along with extra batteries, mem cards and a lens hood. I could get to my camera quickly and even change lenses without having to take much time.

thick padding on outer 'walls' of bag provide protection. strap and stitching are solid and strap is easily adjustable.

Comments about Lowepro Lowepro SlingShot 100 AW, All-Weather BackPack/Sling Bag Converter:

This bag is great for limited shoots, short trips, advanced point and shoot equipment, and especially now, as airlines are cracking down on weight and carry on size!!

I can put my whole Canon G-9 System in this bag, including the extra lenses, adapter, filters, SD Cards, flash, Canon TX-1 and Leica C-Lux backup cameras and have room for a notebook and manuals!!!

This bag holds my DSLR, a couple of lenses, flash, and several other small accessories.

Easy to switch from back to front to access the camera.

Comfortable to wear and does not scream "CAMERA BAG".

I use this bag to transport my equipment in the field.
It is very easy to get to my camera on the fly.

I use it to carry my Canon digital SLR on hikes and bike rides.

Comments about Lowepro Lowepro SlingShot 100 AW, All-Weather BackPack/Sling Bag Converter:

This is a quality product. The construction is good, and it seems like it would be quite durable; and last. This bag seems to have a specific use: Quick access to your camera, and transporting for light use. The quick access would be great for wild life photography, or photos of other subjects of a spontaneous nature. The one strap design allows for this quick access, but does not allow for comfort with extended use.
I tend to go for day hikes, where I will have my pack on the entire day. With this bag, your one shoulder takes all the fatigue, and will eventually get sore. I found that as I was hiking, it wasn't worth it to put my camera back in my pack, as I am always looking for photo opportunities. My camera always ends up staying in my hand for most of the hike. I have returned the product and ordered more of a hiking pack, from Lowepro; as I was impressed with the quality of the product. This one just wasn't for me, but if are looking for a pack that can do what I listed above, this one may be just what you need.

Just got back from a week travel in Eurpoe with this bag. I was able to pack everything I needed and a little more. I carried my D200 w/ medium sized attached lens, Full sized flash, a second camera Olympus 5050Z, two battery chargers for AA and two battery chargers for Nikon battery, all my flash cards, cables, and power convertors, and still had a little room left over for wallet and some souveniers.!

Comments about Lowepro Lowepro SlingShot 100 AW, All-Weather BackPack/Sling Bag Converter:

I bought the smaller version. It works if you only have a camera, an extra lens and a flash. If you have more than that, then go with the bigger one.

I like wearing it like a backpack and then beig able to access the camera bag without having to take the pack off.
