 my opinion on this bag,, January 6, 2009
Damien R. Furtman (Duluth, Minnesota, USA)
Lowepro has taken an industry by storm with their bags. This bag is the 3rd Lowepro bag I've owned over the last 4 years (All upgrades).
I'll just get my details out of the way. In this bag I carry a Canon XTi body with the Battery grip, an attached Canon 28-135mm IS USM, the "nifty 50" 50mm f/1.8 II Speedlight 580EX II Flash and there is room in there for 1 more lens (I've got a Tamron 75-300mm in the mail) and an small omnibounce, cleaning solution and a CF card reader.. I ordered this to have something small and easy to carry on my trips out of state that I could carry on to the plane with me and still have a good compliment of equipment without lugging everything along..
Pros:
Very well built bag, like I had mentioned earlier, this is my 3rd Lowepro bag.. I've never been let down by the quality and this bag does not disappoint.
Security is top of the line as well on this bag with the opening back panel.
The bag holds a variety of equipment while maintaining the "this ain't a camera bag" look..
Cons:
There were a few things that I didn't like about this bag... they are listed below.
The sliplock system mounting straps are very poorly located on the shoulder straps. If one were to use these sliplocks, with lens cases like the 1N and 1W, they would find that the cases sit right on the tops of your shoulders if ya carry the bag cinched down, or over the shoulder if ya wear the bag lower on your back with the shoulder straps extended. These would have been put to better use on the side of the bag where they won't impede view or full range of motion for your head.
The side pocket is very small and very tight.. I fit in a lens pen, a 4 pack of batteries and 2 cf cards and I have a difficult time zipping the pocket closed. Forget about sticking anything else in there.
I wish the main compartment zipper was able to be zipped lower than it is.. As the bag sits right now, the zipper leaves a 2-3 inch well at the bottom of the bag that could be used for a little more room.
Being that I am carrying a XTi with the attached battery grip, the ergonomics with the camera makes it an uncomfortable carry for long periods. I'm not a fan of feeling the onboard flash on the camera pushing into my back.
Pockets could have been a little bigger or the bag could have been designed with a filter wallet sleeve built into the bag. I currently have to carry all my filters on my lenses because the bag will not accomodate the Lowepro filter wallet that I already own.
I hope my review has been helpful in choosing your next camera bag.

Congratulations Lowepro for making a Ladies' friendly camera backpack. I am a short woman (5,4)living in Lima, Peru. I needed a discreet camera backpack that would fit my gear. This one is it! I really liked that the Flipside 200 opened from the inside, so my camera could not be robbed from behind. This backpack is perfect for an assignment basic gear. It holds my Nikon D90 (a tied fit), two DX telephoto lenses and a Speedlight SB-600 flash. In the side pocket I carry an extra battery, memory card, and a pen. I have not tried taking a tripod with me yet. It is extremely well made, compact and fully padded inside. The straps also are well padded and the weight is perfectly distributed. Take this from a not-so-young-anymore person with back problems. I was at the Miami Seaquarium and realized that the backpack was impermeable and easy to clean. The Artic Blue is a beautiful color. Most important, it does not look like a camera backpack at all.
some obvious oversights in design December 21, 2008

my biggest problem with this bag and with all of the 2-strap lowepro backpacks that i have seen is that they place the shoulder straps too wide apart. instead of riding up closer to the neck like most comfortable backpacks do, these sit way out and drag your shoulders down like lead weights. furthermore, the plastic buckle connections seemed pretty flimsy. needless to say, i returned this bag quickly and decided to go with the simple tried-and-true shoulder bag and am much more satisfied with that purchase.
Great amatuer photographer backpack November 26, 2008

This is a great backpack. It has everything that I need. The removable/adjustable compartments are really good because they're super tough to take on & off, which is great so that the items its holding are secure. The opening on the backside is a great idea for security purposes, but the straps get in the way sometimes. I guess it would take some getting used to. I am very pleased with my purchase, but if I had a chance to go back and redo my purchase, I probably would go with the 300 for the bigger space. Overall, I think it was a good purchase for me & I'm satisfied.
a little small September 30, 2008

The bag construction is solid. However, it is small and bulky - Sticks out about 8 inches from your back. I could fit my D40 with 55-200MM lense and an extra 18-55mm lense, along with extra cards, batteries, and lens cleaning items. the camera doesnt fit in as you would hope, it almost feels like you're putting pressure against the side due to the formation of the bag. I purchased this bag for a trip, but decided against bringing it. I use it more for storage of equipment rather than use to carry around. It's not a bad bag, just not my preference. Hope this helps.
