I'm a bit puzzled when the basic model in a range is slated for not having the GTI go-faster bits.
When I first started hill walking, small to medium ruck sacks did not have sternum straps and did not need them because the strap spacing was properly designed for light loads. Waist straps came in later to help give your shoulders a break when carrying heavy loads, and for stability when scrambling.
I gave my Lowepro Fastpack 200 a good try out yesterday on a 4+ hour walk around the Manx green lanes and moorland. I used it as a day sack to carry a fairly light load - DSLR plus 2 lenses, waterproof and packed lunch. For this level of use I have no complaints - it is properly designed for my frame which is pretty average. The straps did not slip of my shoulder. It did not move around on my back any more than any daysack does. It did not make my back sweat too much. It did not get uncomfortable although the back pad did begin to feel just a touch flat and unyielding against my spine - but nothing serious: I was being critical.
I just wish I had bought something like this when I bought my DSLR. Instead I persisted in using an awkward shoulder bag. Would I use it for serious mountaineering? No, I would move up the range. Would I use it for a heavy set of pro gear? No. But for easy to middling days out it with "amateur" gear and for something to throw in the car or take on public transport - perfect. For this usage the absence of extraneous straps flapping about and catching on things is a bonus. I should have bought one years ago because on too many occasions the DSLR has just seemed too big and heavy and I have taken my compact and of course regretted it later. The method of access is quick and easy. No more digging through waterproofs, apples and drink bottles to find the camera, or having an awkward shoulder bag banging against my hip. For once my wife did not complain about me stopping to take pictures because it was quick and easy.
At Amazon's price it was a bargain and totally fit for the purpose for which it was intended. Read the spec., and if it does not meet your needs move up or across the range. Lowepro have a bewildering range of choices, after all, but all designed for specific modes of use.

Having changed from a Slingshot to this backpack, I made the perfect choice.
The lower section is where you can store you camera body and lenses. I have a Canon 350D with 3 lenses, and still room for more. There are 2 memory card holders/pockets in the main compartment. There is also a separate pocket infront of the main compartment.
The top half of the bag is very roomy and has pockets and netting to hold additional kit. It is going to be very handy when out on the move to store food and drink. On the top front of the bag there is another zipped pocket, which will be handy for holding travel documents. On the side of the bag is another netted area, which will be perfect to hold a drinks bottle.
Superb bag for the price I paid.

I have just took my new Fastpack 200 to New York. I wanted a bag that could carry my different camera equipment, mini tripod, batteries, lenses, nikon D40, aswell as carry personal kit such as small coat, sun glasses, maps, ipod, phone,etc. The different compartments where more than enough and allowed me to fit in the charger when traveling over there. The fastpack was more than I expected, it was very comfortable as I covered long distances during the day. The camera compartment was very quick and easy to open which proved to be very useful not only when getting some great photo's but also when showing eqipment when passing through customs.
The Fastpack also had secure compartments which I could carry mine and my wifes passports travel tickets, etc. The Fastpack 200 is a great bit of kit and I highly recomend it. This is the first review I have ever written but I was so happy with this bag and I spent quite a bit of time searching for the right one, I felt it would help anyone looking to travel.
