 Awesome digital camera bag!!!!!!!! October 11, 2008
DextersLab
I bought this for a trip to Disney World and was very impressed. The bag is very comfortable and fun to wear. The rain jacket, that the bag sports, came in handly several times to protect my camera. I got on several water rides and didn't even blink an eye or worry about my camera because I knew it was protected. I'd buy this bag in a flash again. In fact, I'm always looking at this brand from now on. I love this bag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The bag had enough dividers to form pockets for all my accessories. The dividers were adjustable with Velcro adjusters.
Slingshot 100AW October 8, 2008

My Tamrac (sub-compact) bag JUST for my Canon XSi (kit) wasn't cutting it. It's a nice little bag but it didn't have much cushioning and only an itty-bitty pocket in the front. Which is why I invested in this Slingshot 100.
This bag makes me feel like I can take my camera anywhere! It feels well protected an insulated enough to take a few minor bumps here and there. The 100 is just perfect enough for my XSi and two lenses. (Or a lens and a flash unit with a bit more room to spare.)
The way it swings over to have easy access to your gear is wonderful! This bag was really thought out and you just know a photographer was there in the design of this bag.
Ladies, the pocket on top and in front can act as your purse. So now you can have your purse AND camera in one place.
Guys, your wallet can either fit in one of the pockets OR right next to your camera.
The strap fits comfortably and just fine. (Yes, it sits between your bust ladies. If you have a larger bust...no problem!) The padded strap adjusts quite nicely. The bag didn't make my neck or back hurt. (Then again, I got this small bag so that I WOULDN'T carry a lot of gear with me. What would be the point of my back hurting? If you want something to carry lots of gear, I recommend the Lowepro backpack-type series.)
I would buy this bag again in a heartbeat. It was worth my money. When I was doing my research in the local camera store, I compared it with the other bags and nothing came close to the padding plus functionality of this bag.
NOTE: The day I got this bag, I was heading for a 'halloween' type amusement park and I DIDN'T want to take my gear. (Yuk, dark flash pictures of guys dressed up as monsters?) I ended up taking out the adjustable padding and using the Slingshot 100 as a purse. I placed nothing in the outside pockets. (To keep the people behind me in line from possibly pickpocketing something.) And I placed my wallet, glasses case, make-up bag, etc. in the zippered camera compartment. Easy access to everything! And it was drizzling that night...the weather cover did just nicely!
(P.S. It was Knott's Scary Farm.)

I bought this bag principally because I wanted a set-up that would make it easy to change lenses -- with my previous lenses-in-padded-cases-in-my-backpack set-up, I had to stop, take off my bag, find a flat enough surface to work on (so lenses don't fall over and get damaged), and then juggle two lenses while I switched. With the SlingShot bag, you flip it under your shoulder and have a nice flat, safe surface to work on, with two easy-to-grab lenses. Now it's easy for me to switch lenses to get just a shot or two. Plus, there's enough room for me to carry both film and digital bodies, and useful gear like cleaning supplies and a raincoat for the camera.
If you're using this bag as a daypack, the 300 is the only one with a big enough top compartment to be useful. You can easily fit a couple of energy bars, a rain jacket, a guide book, and sunglasses in the top compartment -- perfect for a hike or acting the tourist.
For travel, I would've liked a laptop compartment -- the 300 is large enough -- but it's true that I wouldn't want to haul along a padded compartment all day long.
At first the single shoulder strap seemed heavy to me but I got used to it. Keeping the waist belt tight is key to wearing the bag comfortably and is also constant work as it seems to loosen easily on me. Note that the strap is *not* switchable right-left so you'd better be happy with your right shoulder.
Make sure to get the water bottle holder accessory!
Sling Shot 300 October 4, 2008
KEB (Northern NY)
As my lens collection increased, I managed to outgrow the smaller camera bag I bought when for my D50 and kit lenses. I got the Nikon 80-200 2.8 lens - amazing - and then realized the only bag I had for it was an old camcorder bag. The slingshot 300 fills the needs I have for the 80-200 2.8 on the body, my three other lenses, and everything else I need.
The straps are very comfortable and I love not needing to remove a backpack to access my camera; most of my shots are outdoors. The bag slides to the front offering easy access on the fly. The 300 has a sturdy backpacking waist belt to distribute weight to the hips for comfort, and the rain cover works well and tucks away nicely.
