from FNAC velizy Summary: I'm surprised at the poor reviews others have given this little bag, but perhaps we don't have the same expectations. I use the Slingshot bag to carry a minimum of gear IN CITIES. It fits close to the body and with it on me I don't go bumping into people in the subway, knocking things over in shops, etc. It took me a while to get used to it - I had to downsize my wallet, notebook, etc to make it all fit in. This bag is definitely not my choice for a holiday where I need to carry around extra clothing, guide books, etc. The Rover light is clumsy by comparison but I can put much more gear in it. Strengths: Small size
Fits high on the body so I don't knock things over behind me
Like a side pack - easy to get camera out without taking pack off
Impressive capacity for camera gear - takes my D200+18-200 with no problem
Pretty secure - difficult for pickpockets to get into
Replaces my small shoulderbag
AW cape but so far I haven't needed it Weaknesses: Too small to put extra clothing, guide books, purchases
Really limited to point missions in the city wher I don't need a lot of gear Similar Products Used: Lowe Rover Light
Lowe Mini Trekker
