6 months later, how are you finding this bag? I'm thinking of getting it, just a bit of a toss up between this and the Lowepro Minitreker AW...

I love it. Haven't had the need to use the all-weather covering or anything yet, but it's been pretty comfortable, even fully loaded, carries all the stuff I'd want to carry, is very accessible for lens changes, etc., and is compact enough to take along and squeeze into lots of places (in trunks or whatever during travel, in a golf cart, etc.).

I bought the 200 AW last year when I picked up my 30D - been very happy with it; seems like the key difference between the 100,200 and 300 is overall capacity (which I'm not too concerned with ATM.)

It is great being able to just keep everything in one bag..."need camera? just grab and go."

Now I just need "spare time" to learn how to get more out of my 30D. UDSLR anyone?

Funny you should post this, I got my Lowepro Slingshot 100 AW today (along with my new Nikon D80.)

Compared to the shoulder bag I got as well (lowepro nova mini), the slingshot is probably going to be used a lot more. I love the fact it opens on the side, seems such a good idea!
