Yes
I need a bag for my gear - 300D, 18-55mm kit lens, 55-250mm IS and 50mm prime - plus the usual accesories, filters, CF cards, etc.

I was pretty keen on a Lowepro Slingshot 100 or 200 AW, but before I commit myself to either of these, is there anything else out there that would comapre in ease/speed of use and price?
 
If you can (or already have done) visit a high st camera store to try out the slingshot first.

It's a popular bag and well respected with a nice design, but after owning a slingshot 100aw I just couldn't get on with it at all, didn't like the shoulder strap and found it too fiddly to access.

Still looking for a rapid access solution when on walkabout, have also owned (and subsequently sold..) a lowepro stealth reporter 200aw bag
 
OK, thanks for that.

A friend has one, and he said he was going to bring it into work today - so I'll take a look then :)
 
I don't know if you are Female or Male but - I had the 200AW and couldn't get on with it at all. Being of the Female form, everytime I tried to swing it around to the front, it would catch on parts of my anatomy. Don't laugh! It was embarrassing. I bought the Mini Trekker AW and that was too heavy so, I am back to square one. Let me know if you decide on one and I will look it up as well.
 
Gilly - I'm male so hopefully no anatomy issues for me, but could see how it could be a problem for a woman!!

I still haven't managed to look at one yet so no further forward!!
 
Been looking around again, how does something like a Tamrac Adventure 6 compare?

I know it doesn't have the easy access that the slignshot's have, but it seems to be able to carry more stuff, and are quite cheap.
