Comments about Adorama Adorama Slinger Bag, Single Strap Backpack / Shoulder Bag, Black.:

I got this in a package deal when I bought my camera, and I couldn't have picked out a better bag. I love that it can either be a sling bag or a backpack, it's well padded to protect my camera, has lots of space for my DSLR and lenses, and one of the straps hides away if you don't need it.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Slinger Bag, Single Strap Backpack / Shoulder Bag, Black.:

While the bag offers great protection, it is limited in the amount of accessories it can hold. It makes for a great storage bag to leave at home to protect any camera-related accessory. I have since gotten a Lowepro Slingshot 202AW to carry around with me in the field. Not only is it more comfortable, it can hold more items and sits nicely over my shoulder. The Slinger Bag is well made and the only problem I have with it is that it is too small for my needs. If you have a DSLR with two accessories or less, then this bag would be a great way to protect your items.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Slinger Bag, Single Strap Backpack / Shoulder Bag, Black.:

This bag came with the bamera body that I purchased, and I consider it a lifesaver. I primarily use this bag to carry the aditional items that don't seem to fit in my primary bag, like the additional camera body and extra batteries. Not quite big enough to carry everything I need, but does give you the needed extra room.

This is a great walk around bag. The sling shoulder strap is nicer than traditional straps because it is angled to stay on your shoulder without having to readjust constantly. Also this bag has lots of pockets.

This bag is a very good all round bag for holding your camera and the various hardware needed for it. It has enough room for extra batteries, connection cables, the camera with a lens on it as well as a second lens in the adjustable main compartment. Very good all round. I am currently using a Nikon D90 with a 50mm fixed lens and an 18-200 VRII.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Slinger Bag, Single Strap Backpack / Shoulder Bag, Black.:

I bought this bag, thinking that it was going to be somewhat like a backpack, however the strap was very difficult hanging. It just doesn't fit on your body correctly. Also, after I had it for about 4 months, the bottom of it started to wear around the edges. I felt that it should have held up much better for the price.[...]

This bag impressed me from the moment I opened my shipment. It has a well thought-out design. There's a place for everything. And the adjustable interior compartments are a great inclusion. Inside the bag I can comfortably get my T2i / 28-200mm lens /18-55mm lens / 8 filters 72mm & 58mm / and there is still room to spare. The inside is padded with a thin stiffener between the exterior and the padding inside.Outside of the bag has 3 zippered pockets that expand to carry just about anything you might need to carry with your camera.Both the right and left sides have elastic net pockets.If you need a new camera bag, comfortable to carry,room for everything,and durable you won't regret this one. I don't.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Slinger Bag, Single Strap Backpack / Shoulder Bag, Black.:

This bag came bundled with a camera, so I didn't evaluate it closely. It is a good bag overall. I cut the backpack strap off because I wouldn't ever use it like that. It is a small bag (which is good for everyday use) so that strap seemed unuseful. The dimensions of the bag make it "tip-able" as it is taller than its base by a factor of at least 2. Not a huge problem, but something to keep in mind.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Slinger Bag, Single Strap Backpack / Shoulder Bag, Black.:

This is a great bag. It fits the lens and camera body perfectly. Can't fit too much more, but for easy jobs with the one lens it's perfect. Light weight and good protection for the camera (even in snow and cold weather).

Only problem is the fabric loop on the bag that attaches the shoulder strap to the bag is already starting to separate from the bag. Slightly unfortunate.

On the inside of the bag are all of these velcrow seperaters to organize the bag which originally seemed like a great idea> i was able to serperate the camera from spare lense ( if i had it) problem is that when you move the padding the velcrow scratches against the camera while puttin it in and out of the bag. The velcrow is not removable.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Slinger Bag, Single Strap Backpack / Shoulder Bag, Black.:

Fits a single body and 2 lenses perfectly. Still has enough space for extra batteries, my camera manual, some lens filters, small cleaning kit. Thats what I have in it. There is still some room left. Probably enough for a flash, and another lens, depending on length.
Comfortable. Protects well. Sturdy straps.
Overall a really nice bag.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Slinger Bag, Single Strap Backpack / Shoulder Bag, Black.:

I do love this bag and appreciate Adorama for offering it for free with my purchase. (special combo) With loving the bag it still could use a little more room. Everything with this camera I purchased, the Nikon D90 you just can't fit it all in there for any type of storage. It does need more compartments for the larger cameras like I purchased. As far as the quality of the bag, it is top notch :)

Comments about Adorama Adorama Slinger Bag, Single Strap Backpack / Shoulder Bag, Black.:

This came with my Nikon D40 as part of the package and it has worked out very well thus far. It's a little bulky but it provides very good protection for my camera/lenses. I've taken it on several plane trips and put it under the seat in front of me - it has protected the camera just fine. The inside sections are all removeable and that is helpful so you can organize it to suit your needs. It's fairly lightweight and the strap is comfortable (it's a cross body strap). I also like the zip out front pocket that allows me quick access to my small accessories.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Slinger Bag, Single Strap Backpack / Shoulder Bag, Black.:

Bag was part of the D40 kit I got as a gift. Nikon manual doesn't fit in the bag. Wish the buckle for the top was sewn to the front pocket instead of the bottom. It would be easier to use. The bottom could use a little more padding. I don't like the way the partitions are set up but that comes from the bag being made to be upright and have a small footprint. Seems like it might be a pretty good bag for all day outings where you find yourself needing room to store things other than photo items.

Decent Travel Bag / Lousy Field Bag
By AwilsonVerified Reviewer from Los Angeles, CA on 10/2/2009
Pros:
Good Protection, Lightweight
Cons:
Bad Compartment Dividers, Inside Access Difficult
Best Uses:
Storage
Describe Yourself:
Photo Enthusiast
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Adorama Adorama Slinger Bag, Single Strap Backpack / Shoulder Bag, Black.:

The bag is NOT easy to use in the field. The biggest problem is accessing the internal storage area. This bag uses 3 "snap clips" to secure the top of the bag. One might be able to undo the snaps with a single hand but to close the bag requires 2 hands which means hanging your camera around your neck and/or finding a place to set the camera or tripod while closing the lid. The front clip also covers the front mini-pocket where brushes or a mini tripod might be stored.

When the bag is hung over your shoulder (described below), the access is to the outside away from you meaning the lid opens up right in your line of sight into the bag.

An easy access around-the-top zipper would be much more efficient or minimally reversing the bag top to make access into the bag easier while on your shoulder.

Also, the adjustable compartment dividers which attach using Velcro aren't engineered for easy use in the vertical upright position. The Velcro is sewn in horizontally which means its twisted 90' to create access to the bottom of the bag. If both of the created compartments aren't completely filled, the divider wants to twist back into its naturally mounted horizontal position.

There are a couple of upsides to this bag:
The shoulder strap is engineered well and its comfortable to use when hung over your head, across the body to the opposite hip. There plenty of good padding and the size is just right to put it into a medium size duffel bag which fits under the seat on the airplane. BUT a second "field bag" should be packed or you'll have to put up with the inconveniences I've described.
This bag would be fine for a casual photographer with few lenses or its used primarily indoors. But if you're standing on a rock overlooking the Grand Canyon and need to change lenses/filters, its not the bag to make that process easy. There are better bags which more effectively serve both purposes.

As a novice photographer, this is a great, affordable, compact bag with plenty of room for my DSLR, prime and zoom lenses, and essentials. If you need more than two lenses, you'll probably want a bigger bag, although you can clip additional lenses to the outside of the bag. The carrying strap is very comfy, too.

I use this bag if traveling by car or fold & placed in my suitcase for use when at my destination if by plane. It will hold a camera, extra lens, 2nd camera body, pen & paper, filters, extra battery and digital cards, power bar and water bottles. The strap can be worn on the shoulder or across the body. It can be worn as a waist belt or the waist belt can be used to stabilize the bag on a hike or in a crowd. Good straps and closures. I could have used another inch of 2 of depth but then I would have carried more.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Slinger Bag, Single Strap Backpack / Shoulder Bag, Black.:

This is a great little bag. In the past I have always used a backpack but this bag is far superior. I recently took a trip to New England and carried my Canon Camera everywhere for six days. I hiked trails in the summer heat for up to six hours at a time and the comfort of this bag never was an issue. At the Lebanon CT fair I carried the camera at the ready for a few hours and this bag allows you to rest your hand and the camera on top of the bag taking the stress off your arm and shoulder. The only thing I would add to this bag is a tripod strap on the bottom of the bag.

This bag does what it needs to. I can fit all of my basic items in it, such as camera, additional battery with charger, USB cord, and filters (squeezed in front pocket.) The space is limited, though. Also, it is one big opened bag, like a purse, with velcro removable dividers. The velcro strips make me nervous about scratching, and they make it more difficult to fit items in properly.

I don't like this bag. It seems to be well made, but it will not hold my camera with the lens on it unless the camera is on its side. The bag has nice pockets and storage places, but I just don't like the way the camera has to sit in the bag. There is no pocket large enough to put the owners manual for my Nikon D80 in the bag. Also, I don't like the one strap slinger style of this bag, it makes it awkward to carry. I will now be buying a backpack for my camera.

I would recommend this bag for going to place were you can not safely leave your camera gear and you want to have everything close while you shot as long as you do not need a lot of extras.

This camera bag is excellent. I am able to fit all 3 of my lenses, lens hood, extra battery, A/V cables, USB cable and still have room leftover. I was hesitant getting it by the picture, but it was included in a kit. I am glad I got the bag!

Comments about Adorama Adorama Slinger Bag, Single Strap Backpack / Shoulder Bag, Black.:

Like the bag, but it's a bit big and bulkey considering all I have is a camera and lens. Too big for everyday travel - may be better when I have more lenses to transport. Like all the pockets though - there's a place for everything. Wish it had a bit of instructions on how to place inserts to best hold my camera and lenses and the various ways to do the strap.

Several months ago a friend showed me his Adorama Slinger Bag, and I liked the look. I purchased one for myself. Recently I have purchased the bag for family members. I like the look, the feel, and the comfort of the bag. Enough room for DSLR camera body and extra lenses, filters, and some other odds and ends. Never have had a problem with this bag... take it everywhere (on major shoot outings it is a great backup for my photographic backpack allowing me to have quick access to equipment I need on the spot. I recommend the Adorama Slinger Bag, Single Strap Backpack/Shoulder Bag to everyone. You will not be disappointed.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Slinger Bag, Single Strap Backpack / Shoulder Bag, Black.:

Perfect size and fit for my EOS Rebel with 17-55mm lens and longer 70-300mm lens (the latter is my default). Hangs easily and comfortably without getting in the way, quick access to camera, shows minimal wear despite heavy use, fits easily under airplane seat; plenty of room to stuff small accessories (including a small pair of binoculars, and several garbage bags for emergency weatherproofing); and when traveling, I can easily shove in my battery charger and portable HD storage device. Convenient side pocket for airline tickets and maps, and a nice passport-sized inside pocket. Waist buckle useful for extra peace of mind when traveling in unfamiliar areas (where snatch theft might be a concern), and also for biking (though it doesn't like staying in the back, preferring instead to hang to the side -- this being the only minor downside I can find with this bag).

Comments about Adorama Adorama Slinger Bag, Single Strap Backpack / Shoulder Bag, Black.:

I have used this bag regularly for about 5 years when I need a compact bag for travel, including Alaska and Hawaii twice. It's getting frayed around the edges in contrast to a 17 yr old Tamrac that has seen a lot more mileage, but shows little wear. The Slinger is a great compact bag. It easily holds my D70 or D300 with attached 18-70mm lens and Nikon 80-400mm lens in adjacent cavity, plus space for filters. Or, holds Nikon 70-300mm and SB600 instead of the 80-400mm. Front & rear zippered pockets and pouches are great for extra stuff. The belt strap gives reasonably good balance, unlike the Pro version which tilts the bag away from the body. D-rings and stretchable mesh side pockets are useful for water bottle, flash unit case, etc. Negatives: the shoulder strap sometimes comes unhooked unexpectedly (I now always check it before "slinging" the bag over my shoulder.), the top cover flaps don't extend down along sides or front to offer real weather (moisture or dust) protection (That's why I carry a plastic trash bag in the back zipper pocket). The shoulder strap could use a bit more padding for comfort. Overall, however, the bag has an effective and efficient design.

It is wide but not as much as regular camera bags so I can walk between people without hurting and molesting me or anyone. Still I can use it all the time to have my lenses , bateries and cards.
The only thing I would so to the bag is to add two 0-rings to the sides to install any regular bag strap.
I'm a bag-alcolic , you name it and I have had it---still I use the Slinger

Great bag for day tripping on vacation. Slim profile, and the waist strap really helps to distribute the weight. It's still pretty light but after a while even the lightest bag will begin to feel heavy. Could use more pockets and would like it even more if the top opened away from your body to make access easier and faster. Overall, a great choice.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Slinger Bag, Single Strap Backpack / Shoulder Bag, Black.:

An excellent photo bag. I use it to carry my Canon S3 IS (ICAS3) w/ Raynox 52mm lens adapter (IRXRB52S2), a Canon Selphy CP 730 printer (ICACP730) w/ battery (ICANBCP2L), a D92-BZS slave flash, and a bunch of other accessories including at least 12 spare AA batteries w/ Targus AA charger (TGBC2600), SD cards, 2-4 52mm filters, notepad, Canon manual, cables, and lens cleaning kit. All fit quite happily together in the bag with room to spare.

I've gone through a few bags but this one provides quite a custom fit. On the downside, the belt seems a little low as the bag feels too top-heavy when just using the belt. The shoulder strap is very comfortable for moving around with the full bag all day.

This bag has been about perfect for me. I have the left handed version, and after a few months of having it I was still discovering things it had. I've used it to carry around a fair amount of gear. Most I've had in it is a Nikon D40 w/kit, 85mm f/2AIS, Minolta SRT200 w/45mm f/2, 135mm f/3.5, a flash, film, memory cards, and filters. It was a tight fit, but it worked.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Slinger Bag, Single Strap Backpack / Shoulder Bag, Black.:

I brought this bag after reading many good comments. But, when I received it I found the waist belt and the extra wide shoulder belt were a little bit cumbersome. Soon, I figured out I can hide the waist belt behind the zippered pocket. Further, I figured out I can even fold the shoulder strap down and put it behind the pocket nicely as well. Now, it is perfect!!! What a great design!!!

What a value! An expensive bag at an inexpensive price. Being left handed I have tried many bags that promise to be for both right or left handers but this is the first one that fulfills its promise to be "for left handed users!" Just big and padded enough for a camera, light meter and film for an outing and small and light enough to be comfortable and convenient. Thanks for a great bag and a great value!

Comments about Adorama Adorama Slinger Bag, Single Strap Backpack / Shoulder Bag, Black.:

Bought this bag mainly to use when carrying equipment on the go (vacations, trips etc) and have wound up using it as my main bag. Granted, the space is a bit limited, but it's not meant to be a carry all.

Currently I have a 300D, kit lens, Sigma 100-300, Canon 50mm, Tamron 17-50 and Speedlight in the main compartment (it's tight, but it closes) and various cables, cards and accessories in the zipper pockets.

Build quality is great, looks are....well, who buys a camera bag for looks?...

The slinger idea is a good one, but it can get a little uncomfortable after carrying it for a long time. Example, on a trip to NYC I carried it packed out for 4 or 5 days, most all day, walking the entire time. That got to be a little much, but I do tend to overpack my bag and take too much in the hopes of having everything I need. I would think with a little more restraint, just carrying a body, flash and a couple of lenses that it would be much more comfortable.
For my habits, the sling tends to bit into my shoulder and the weight makes my shoulders and upper back a little sore after a few hours. Again, that may be more my fault than anything.
It's also a little difficult to get to items in the bottom of the bag without taking it off. My main purpose in buying the bag was to have my gear at my fingertips at all times. The body is exactly that, but it can be hard to dig a lens out when you're holding your camera in one hand and reaching into the bag with the other while it's around your shoulder.

Overall, I have to say this is the best bag I've had for all around use. Beats a backpack in every way except the amount of gear it holds, and is much more comfortable than a simple bag with a shoulder strap.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Slinger Bag, Single Strap Backpack / Shoulder Bag, Black.:

I bought this bag for someplace to hold both my SLR and my medium-size digicam. It works beautifully for that, with space with memory cards, batteries, film, manuals, and a tabletop tripod. The single strap is very nice for "slinging" over a shoulder. After almost a year of use, it looks as good as new and nothing has broken. The only drawback it that it is large to carry everyday and a bit too much bag for just heading out for the day with a digicam.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Slinger Bag, Single Strap Backpack / Shoulder Bag, Black.:

I've had this bag for over 3 years and it has accompanied me on many trips and outings. Its durable construction continues to hold up with frequent use. The bag will hold and allow convenient access to all the equipment most people need on a typical outing. I typically load it up with a DSLR, attached 70-300 zoom, a 100mm macro, and one other lens (usually a short zoom). The closure flap's adjustable strap even allows me to take a heavy 135-400 zoom if I choose to. Under the top flap is a secondary zippered mesh storage pouch that holds my lens cleaning kit. In front of the main compartment there are two pouches, the larger is zippered with an elasticized mesh pouch inside. I keep a couple of packs of extra batteries in the main section of the larger pouch, and an extra memory card and a remote cable in the mesh section. The outermost pouch is a small velcro-fastened pouch that holds a wallet, keys, and change. Between the outer pouches and the main compartment is a zippered slide-in pouch that comfortably holds my two filter wallets and their enclosed 12 filters. Mesh pouches on either side of the bag can hold a water bottle and a flash. The shoulder strap has a curved design that allows you to sling the bag a little to the rear, so that the weight rests on your hip (hence the name "Slinger,). The length of the shoulder strap is adjustable, so with a little attention anyone should be able to devise a comfortable fit. The high quality zippers all have attached nylon pulls to make them easy to find and operate one-handed. A lot of thought went into the design of this bag. Highly recommended.

It has travelled to Europe and stores my cameras when not in use. It is a great bag. For a large DSLR it is a little too small, get the bigger one. Otherwise, it has met all of my needs carrying and storing two digital P&S plus batteries, memory cards, and charger.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Slinger Bag, Single Strap Backpack / Shoulder Bag, Black.:

I used this bag while travelling internationally for 2 years. I could fit a DSLR with lens atttached, 2 lenses, flash, batteries, memory, filters, a clif bar and a watter bottle, and a passport in the special passport pocke (plus plane tickets in the secret side pocket. I really love it, and I found it fit my needs 95% of the time. It is much better than a backpack because you can sling it around when you need something, but you can also use the waist belt to take the weight off your shoulder. You can switch shoulders if you need to. It did make my shoulder a little sore after a day of use, but I think you could easily add some padding to the strap. It also has reflective stuff on it to make you more visible to cars at night.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Slinger Bag, Single Strap Backpack / Shoulder Bag, Black.:

This bag is not made for a womans frame. It doesn not take into consideration that the back curves and so instead of the bag resing on your back it just hangs there while it puts all the weight onto one shoulder. And with the strap being too wide it cuts into the shoulder... Its affordable and keeps ok but it really hurst to wear and there is no way to switch shoulders, your always pulling down one shoulder and that does all types of uncomfortable things to your back

Comments about Adorama Adorama Slinger Bag, Single Strap Backpack / Shoulder Bag, Black.:

This bag is one of the better designed, to carry either: 1)one SLR/DSLR (one lens attached, two others) or 2) A P&S together eith a small camcorder, plus a flash, manual, two water bottles and other small accessories in a relatively small bag that can be carried in several ways. Granted, it does not look like a pro bag, but if you want 'Pro', Billingham is an option with mucho dinero.

This one is moderately priced, well designed with a number of compartments to carry various items, slings easily, contents are readily accessible.

After buying bigger and bigger bags to carry all of my lenses and cameras, I realised that on any particular outing, I never needed more than one camera, two or three lenses and a flash, and this bag is perfect for that. I can also fit in, on family trips, my pseudo-DSLR and the camcorder, which is even better.

Having had a Slinger for almost two years, I really do appreciate its size, weight and flexibility.
