The things I didn't like about the lowepro was:

- I couldn't just fit it over my shoulder comfortably... it is a bag that is meant to be strapped and buckled in, not like a back pack.
- It was annoying getting my camera in/out due to the way the front opened
- Didn't like the way the front opened
- Couldn't carry a tripod
- Once full, it's kind of heavy and annoying to lug around all the time


So far, the things I like about the DA bag are:

- it's red inside!
- Holds a tripod
- Seems to be okay carrying it, not 100% sure though.
- Like the better opening for access to all your lenses
- Camera is easy to get.

Bag things about the DA bag compared to my other one:

- It is smaller in size, but I want it smaller just to hold what I NEED. I don't really need to carry every single lens I have. I only carry two for sure.
- Haven't found anything yet other than it's not for you if you have big lenses/lots to carry

I will upload pics of the difference.


Yeah I gotta agree with all the things that you dislike about the Lowepro. I definitely don't feel comfortable walking around for hours with it over my shoulder :(
and I had such hard time trying to get a second camera out of the bag when already having a camera around my shoulder :rolleyes: and the main reason why I haven't used my tripod since last year is because it wouldn't fit into the bag...
So far I like what said about the DA bag BUT the smaller size is a major disappointment because I do hope to get larger lenses in the future lol. Well let's see how you will like the DA bag once you have got a EF 24-70 f2.8L lens and if you still won't have any complaints then I will probably get one too :D

Get a back pack guys. Shoulder bags are lame.

Well both the DA bag and the Lowepro Slingshot AW200 are back packs :p
I usually leave my shoulders free for cameras :D

I feel silly for not reading it right then!

Yeah, if you get the right body/lens combos, there's no need to even carry a bag :)

Get a Dakine camera bag.

If Dakine bags can hold my ski boots and skis (plus everything else you take up the mountain), they can definitely fit all your gear, and keep it protected.

It just gets more and more pathetic.

Should ask one of the mod team to see which IP he's been posting on lately, see if he really is on holiday.

Non dynamic, it's different every time this laptop opens, plus hotspot shielding from Italy to a random host in the USA. ; )
Italy is nice

Non Dynamic would imply a static IP. It's good to see your English has dramatically improved in 24 hours though.

I want a Dakine Pro 2 bag :( Heli Pro is too small.
