Lowepro Flipside 400 AW Backpack for DSLR Outfit - Pine Green
Having got back into SLR photography with a Canon 40D I have been acquiring lenses over the past 18 months. I have migrated from a Lowepro Slingshot 100AW to Slingshot 200AW. I have found that I each time I go out to take photo's I need to take additional bags. I was looking for a bag that could carry everything. I found it difficult to assess what you could fit into this bag by looking at the photo's. I checked out several sources. My biggest problem I was trying to solve was a bag that could carry lenses ranging from 10mm through to 400mm. My largest zoom is a Canon 100mm-400mm. Very large and heavy, and a pain to carry around in a separate bag. I have arranged the padded, sectioned interior and have fitted the following inside this bag without any problems: Canon 40D with 17-85mm fitted, 10-22mm, 28-135mm, 50mm, 100mm macro, 100-400mm and 55 to 250mm and a flash. There is not much room in the interior for anything else but it perfectly meets my requirements.
The build quality and webbing is made to a high standard. For semi-pro camera gear this is a compact and well built design. It is worth bearing in mind that you need the sturdy construction because of the weight of the gear you are carrying, not to mention the cost of course. The cost alone should justify a well padded weather proof bag.
This is my third Lowepro bag. I have deliberately kept to the brand because I know what I am getting. The AW suffix means that there is a waterproof cover that can be pulled out to cover the bag if it is raining.
The concept of having access to the inner compartment through the panel that you wear adjacent to your back is a good idea for security. The outer compartment can house things like accessories, and for me most useful a showerproof jacket.
I looked at other Lowepro bags at a higher price, some had higher specs and higher costs. I think that this one if you are an occassional photographer with a moderate amount of equipment (and cannot decide what subset to take with you) is a good compromise.
UPDATE: I used this backpack with 21 lbs of camera gear in it a few days back including a monopod carried on the outside. I also had a lightweight waterproof jacket in the compartment in the front. I walked for 14 miles along a coastal path. It also rained and I used the all weather cover. I found the bag extremely comfortable to wear, the equipment in it was kept stable with nothing rattling around. It was also kept dry. I thoroughly recommend this product.

I have been using this bag for a while now and whilst it is a good bag there are a few niggles. I have taken to strapping my little tripod on the side of the bag because it is carried too high in the conventional position, snagging on branches when creeping through woodland. If you are using pro lenses of large diameter you will probably have to remove half the internal packing. The camera then flops about a bit, but at least you can easily access it. With both side of the internal packing in place returning camera to bag was a struggle. This brings me to my final niggle - the short zips. With the bag hanging on the waistband there is a lot of strain on the zips, which makes me wonder if this will lead to problems in time.
Like photography, camera bags are a compromise. This is about the right size for a day out. There is room (just) for a reflector OR thin jumper or waterproof in the back, but the sarnies may have to go in the camera section. But - even if I designed my own it would not suit all occasions. Overall a good bag.

It meets my needs. The front compartment is large enough for a netbook (below 10"). The camera compartment can fit my nikons D90 and F65, lenses 18-105mm, 28-80mm and 50mm and SB600 flash and a few rolls of films. Access is good for both compartments. Security for the front compartment is not so good but not a problem if you gonna go trekking through nature or airports. Straps and pads are comfy, the side pockets are handy and the tripod holder just works.
