Customer Reviews:

• Great Vacation Pack: I have the 200AW and love it. It was getting old taking off my Canon backpack just to get to/put up the camera when I was walking around at Disney World! Now, these packs have their place, my Canon pack can squeeze almost all things I need, but hauling it around and getting to the camera were proverbial pains. With the 200AW, I just sling it around, unzip, pull out the camera, shoot, put it back, zip it back up, sling it back around to my back and I'm done. No more "Wait a sec, let me get/put up my camera" comments.
  
  I have to admit that putting in my 70-200 2.8L is not really possible with this bag, although there is a shot of someone squeezing in the hardware. I do, however, put in my 75-300 IS, 50mm, battery packs, memory cards, and 24-70 2.8L (on camera) with little to-do -- it drops right down into the bag, perfectly.
  
  Great product... exactly what I have been looking for on those walk-around vacation trips. I'll bet you can even put a video camera down in this bag with your SLR, if you needed. Not too large and not too small for reduced effectiveness.
  
• Great bag, until it falls apart.: I loved this bag when I first got it a year ago. Lots of room, intelligent design, comfortable, good looking, light - all the good things a bag should be.
  
  But this spring the zippers on the front pouch tore when I was unzipping the thing. Not the sewing, which might have been mended, but the zipper itself - the metal tore away from the cloth. I have to say that my handling of this bag could not be considered rough in any way, nor was it ever overpacked. The zipper just isn't up to the standard of the rest of the bag.
  
  I'm really sorry about it - Lowepro is a great company, and I loved the bag. It is no longer useful to me.
• 200AW: Quite a useful bag. Can carry passport and air tickets in addition to camera and accessories. However, I have not been able to appreciate the swing around feature. My bag seems to have a strap which is meant for left shoulder. All pictures show right shoulder operation.
• Great camera bag...: This backpack/camera bag is excellent. You can wear it like a regular backpack but then easily spin it to the front, take out your camera and get shooting. It is so much better than a traditional backpack since you can slide it around and get access to your camera from the side pocket. It also has great safety catches so that you other equipment in the bag does not fall out. Although it is a bit tight, I can fit my Canon 40D with the EF 70-200 2.8L lense in the side pocket. I lay it in sideways vs. putting it it staight in like it was designed, but it works without have to go to the next larger bag size. I would highly recommend it.
• Perfect for Sports: I needed a bag to carry equipment when doing sports photography. Keeping track of a large bag full of equipment was a problem. The bag does fit great and the weight (because of the design) is almost nothing even when loaded. I also like the fact that you can rotate the bag to gain access to lens, flash or other equipment without have to un-snap and remove. Has room for single camera and number of lense.
