Torn between these 2 bags

Ok i have decided on these bags, The lowepro flipside 200 or the slingshot 200 what would you recomend? Also does the k10d fit ok in these bags?

Flipside is great for security, but a pain to get into.

Slingshots are fine til you get a lot of weight into them, then they dig into your shoulder and become uncomfortable.

The Fastpack 250 is like a Slingshot, but with 2 straps and a laptop compartment, for a similar price as the slingshot 200, and out of these 3 choices, it would get my vote for the extra versatility and comfort.

As for the Slingshot 200, in the main compartment in Fiona's, she has the K10 + Grip with 12-24 attached, Tamron 90mm Macro, 35mm Macro, 10-17 fishy and a Metz flashgun. Top compartment is free to carry all her other bits and pieces, but as mentioned before, over time it does become heavy and uncomfortable.

Hope that helps!

thank you ever so much , i appriciate the information, i think thats what i am leaning towards the flipside

I have slingshot 100 and a Fastpack 200 , both are easy to use.

The '100 for odd days out, the '200 for short breaks.

The Fastpack 200 has a reasonable size compartment at the top allowing waterproofs or a change of clothing plus other odds to be carried, the camera section holds my K200d with grip, numerous lenses and flashes and still has space. It's also small enough to be carried onto an aircraft!

Check out Amazon for good deals on all your choices, I'd go for a Fastpack 200 or, if you can afford it, Fastpack 250 for a laptop as well.

well i have factored a few things in to the process, The flipside is great for security as people wont open it up and try to steal whats in the bag, Also its very comfertable and has splenty of room for what i will be using it for, And great for airport etc, my girlfriend can have the other bag for the 1 laptop(macbook) that we take away with us,so i carry the camera she carrys the laptop
