Warning, camera bag diversion....
Speaking of bags, and you mention the Slingshot. I have the 200AW version
and find it a bit small, but I also find it becomes very uncomfortable if I hike
around. I can't imagine using the 300AW version. My body just isn't what
it used to be.
So I was checking out all the bags and I found I liked the Kata the best.
It is a bit more $$, and it feels lighter than what I was expecting.
http://tinyurl.com/9mt8gk but the weight is on par with the slingshot 300AW.
Although there is a rebate now, making the price similar to the 300AW
The straps can be configured as a sling or as a backpack, left or right.
The upper compartment is bigger since it does not narrow like the
Lowepro, and the divider between the upper and lower can be removed.
BH is out of them, but they are cheaper at Adorama, so I ordered one
