  Strengths: Very portable, light weight and get compartments

  Weaknesses:Zipper puller is not sturdy enough

  Overall Evaluation: This is the perfect bag if you do anything athletic. It keeps everything well organized and easily accessible. The only problem I have had is the zipper pull is not sturdy enough it seams. I bought mine at www.pictureline.com and they replaced the zipper pull for no charge. My friend just replaced his with a heavier duty zipper pull that he picked up somewhere. None the less, this has been a great bag.

  Strengths: Excellent construction, build quality. Smart design, convenient to grab camera. Compact for hiking, comfortable strap.

  Weaknesses:Only big enough for 2-3 lenses and a SMALLER dslr camera. Shoulder strap would have been more natural to drape over the left shoulder (I'm right handed).

  Overall Evaluation: The size is actually very convenient to me since I don't want to carry much, just the essentials. If you need more than 2-3 lenses + flashes, accessories, or have a bigger dslr choose the 200. This one is pretty compact. It feels like it was built very well and was intuitively designed. It's a snug fit for my *ist DL, so a bigger camera may be too tight. Again, my only nitpick is the way the shoulder strap hangs, wish it was from the left shoulder. All in all, very satisfied since it's a great value.

  Strengths: Good padding, quality manufacturing, smart use of space, quick and easy to use.

  Weaknesses:Just a little too small for medium size lens such as canon 70-200mm f/4

  Overall Evaluation: After reading so many positive reviews, I got this bag from a local camera store. I love it! Its unique "Slig" design makes retrieving my 30D really quick and easy. The major compartment space is enough to hold one canon 30D body with 17-40mm f/4 mounted, 28-138mm IS and a 50mm 1.8 lenses. The upper bag can store flash, cables and lens clean kit. I leave my battery charge and CF cards in the outer pocket. One more thing i like to mention is its built-in water proof cover. Just so easy to protect all your stuffs in the bag when there comes an unexpected rain, like what I had when I was in Vancouver, BC, last month. This bag maybe too small to accommodate long lenses. Other than that this is a great bag!

  Strengths: Well designed, great quality, fair price!

  Weaknesses:none

  Overall Evaluation: The bag is so well designed that there's no worry about having the bag opening up and having all your expense gear fall out. The opening where you remove the camera has straps that prevent it from opening all the way by accident. All in all I am very satisfied with the bag. I would recommend it to anyone but if you have more than a couple of lenses to your photography arsenal I would upgrade to the Slingshot 200AW.

  Strengths: Design, ease of use, size and construction

  Weaknesses:Inside divider system

  Overall Evaluation: This bag is great! It is easier to use than a conventional backpack camera bag. The bag swings easily and quickly to position for easy access to my camera. There is ample room for an extra lens and if you need more space, the maker does have a larger version. The only short coming is the partition system on the inside of the bag. It does not have a whole lot of flexibility. I highly recommend this bag to anyone looking for a backpack style camera bag.
