I really don’t love my Crumpler 6 Million – they have no thought for keeping a camera bag strap ON your shoulder. So this review doesn’t surprise me…….

Thanks anyways..

my bad – sorry!…

NOW… one of these shots was taken whilst I was cleaning the bathroom and I didn’t have a t-shirt on!… quite hilarious really.. but, if you’re going to review a bag, you know… REVIEW a bag!..

i don’t want to sound petty or anything but we have here a camera bag review on a photography website with – uhmmm — no pictures? don’t want to be snarky or i definitely don’t want to start a flame war – it’s just that the description is a bit hard to visualize. could you add a pic of what you mean, pretty please?

i have a crumpler 7 million shoulder bag (which i love) and a lowepro slingshot.

the crumpler is great for carrying gear and other junk around town … but when i travel, i much prefer the slingshot. it’s very, very handy and fits a lot of gear despite its size.

i love both bags, but they’ve got very different uses. it doesn’t sound like the zoomiverse would be very useful at all.

good write up, thanks for sharing your views.

cheers

Great write up, I enjoyed reading it. I also have the LowePro Slingshot 200AW and am very positive about it. It carries everything I need; I actually use it to store most of my stuff. For weekend use it’s a bit too large for me but that’s when my old Tamrac backpack comes in handy.

I’ve just purchased the Lowepro SlingShot 200 AW and was very impressed with the ‘thinking that went into the design’. The main feature of this bag is the time taken to switch from carry mode” to “ready mode”. Packs reasonable amount of gears too. Definitely one of my best buy so far.

I have a lowepro compuDaypack. Its pretty light and big. it holds camera + flash + 3 lenses, notebook + there is some space for extra stuff. i like this bag when i need camera&stuff + mu notebook. well, crumpler looks better, but i found lowepro to more useful for me. and what’s important – i got it twice cheaper than Crumpler would cost.

I’ll be very interested in seeing what you think of the Lowepro pack…I travel a great deal,sometimes under some pretty goofy conditions(I work on a towboat pushing barges up & down the Mississippi River)& have been using a Tamrac camera/computer pack for about 20 mos…& while it’s strong,waterproof,& well padded,it’s fussy & you can substitute ‘couch” for “bed” when I learned to check security after getting batteries out of the front flap.I find my self wondering “who designs this stuff,surely not actual photographers” & thinking “there’s got to be a better way”.

I really don’t love my Crumpler 6 Million – they have no thought for keeping a camera bag strap ON your shoulder. So this review doesn’t surprise me.

And my issue with needing a backpack or bag is the reverse of LARGE — we are travelling a lot this year, and British Midlands Airlines allows a TOTAL of 15 lbs. as carry-on! With cameras and gear and a laptop – impossible!!
