4 out of 5 stars Great size for Camera and Gear   September 2, 2008

5 out of 5 stars Totally awesome   August 25, 2008
Well, I bought this to protect my Nikon D40. First the complaints:

CONS: Having a D40 it's too big for the camera. I have a the stock lens and a 55-200 DX lens. I still have a lot of space available. Too much space that I will have to buy additional spacers. Right now I insert my camera with the lens pointing up so that the camera doesn't shift too much.

PROS:

1. This bag has gone through 2 tests. We had a Kids Weekend Cabin Camp and a trip to the beach. First, it is very comfortable. I never experienced any fatigue or pain even though I was wearing the bag the whole weekend taking pictures and hiking through out the woods with some 70 plus kids. I did sweat a little on my back but it quickly dried when I took a rest.

2. Having the phone and an accessory loop was very convenient. I used it for my cell phone (Blackberry 8100 - fits perfectly) and the accessory loop for the a small walkie-talkie. Great placement right under the shoulder.

3. Went to the beach, a strong wave went up and got to our stuff including the bag. All contents was dry and safe. The bag was a little wet but the camera was safe.

4. The extra space is great for all kinds of stuff. You can fit a small camcorder. I put my small point and shoot in the mesh pocket and old Sony DSC-W1 but it still fits. Also I LOVE the water bottle pocket on the side. It can accommodate all different sizes of bottles.

Conclusion. A GREAT buy. I already had my investment back just the fact it protected my camera and was very useful. I'm 5-6 so the bag is a bit big or looks big. Also styling isn't too great looks like an awkward school backpack but it's a camera backpack so who cares. I'm fully satisfied.



5 out of 5 stars Exactly what we needed   July 31, 2008
We had an upcoming trip to Yosemite to hike Half-Dome and desperately wanted to take the good camera. This backpack was exactly what we needed. I think we thought we'd only use it during hiking, but we've continued to use it on other day trips and when we fly as well. It's great to be able to take our camera around and not worry about it getting damaged. The baackpack isn't big, so you can't carry a lot of additional items on the top compartment. But if you're hiking, you don't want a big backpack anyway. It's perfect for our needs!


5 out of 5 stars great for digital slr with accesories and other items   July 21, 2008

I ordered this for my amateur photographer husband who has a Canon Rebel with 1 additional lens and flash. He was looking for something that would hold all of those items but could be accessed without taking the whole backpack off and laying it down. This item fit the bill perfectly! Very well made and padded. Even holds our video camera (in it's bag!) in the top section. Access to the camera is outstanding! Backpack is rather large (but fits my 6'3 husband well) but holds many different items securely. Might be too large for someone with just a single camera and lens.

 5 out of 6 found this review helpful

My husband and I had the Lowepro Photo Runner first for when we went to Hawaii a couple of years ago so that the camera would be easily accessible. The only problem was that he had to carry it most of the time because I was pregnant so it wasn't very comfortable. We also had to take a backpack to carry our personal items. We decided for our trip to NYC that we would get the Fastpack because I prefer two straps (as opposed to the one strap on the SlingShot). We also liked that it seemed to have more storage for personal items than the SlingShot. We went with the 200 instead of the 100 because in some of the reviews it said that the 100 was too small. We wanted to carry our Canon Rebel camera with its lens, an extra zoom lens, and our JVC Everio video camera. We first thought it would be too big because we ended up with extra room so we just moved the partitioners around to make it fit snugly. It ended up working out well. I was also able to carry it this time, even though I was further along in this next pregnancy. We also never really worried that anything would be stolen out of it so that was nice and we didn't feel like we looked as touristy as if we had taken the Photo Runner.
