Bower SCB1450 Digital Pro Sling SLR Backpack - Black

I bought this bag for a 3 week backpacking trip in South America last year and have used it exclusively since then. I haven't had any issues with the quality of its build or materials. The strap is well padded and the bag holds my camera, extra lens, battery, charger and other accessories. The top pocket can even hold a 16oz. bottle of water which is awesome as I use this bag when hiking quite a bit. I chose this bag because I like to keep my hands free while traveling and often times need quick access to my camera which this bag allows for with the sling design. At this price you can't go wrong.

I received this sling as a gift for Christmas and within two months it started to fall apart. At first it seems to be pretty sturdily made but I guess the stitching is not as strong as it looks. The top of the shoulder strap is tearing away and is now torn about a quarter of the way across. Also, the top loop handle is separating, which surprises me as it is rare that I even use that to pick the sling up. I carry an SLR with a lens and a speedlight and that is all so there is no way I am overloading the sling itself. If you are looking for a good sling that will hold up I would look elsewhere. Perhaps the lowepro or caselogic versions will have better results.

This is a great bag for holding my Panasonic GH1 along with three lenses (100-300mm, 14-140mm and 20mm pancake) and a variety of other accessories.

I find the bag sits on my shoulder very nicely. I use the extra strap when I'm going for more than a few minutes to keep the main strap away from my neck.

I needed a bigger bag when I added my 100-300mm zoom to the camera and this worked out great.

I bought this camera bag, and it has these neat velcro compartments that you can rearrange to fit your lenses and accessories and all that...except you really CAN'T rearrange the danged things cuz instead of having whole panels of the fuzzy side to attach them to, there's just a strip here and there. So basically, you can take all the compartments out...and then put them right back in the same way again. :| Aside from that, it seems to be pretty well constructed, and I do like the top compartment that holds a body with a standard 18-55mm lens attached.

This bag is very nice, but the other part of the buckle at the end of the sling is missing???? when i look at the picture i can see that the sling is attached to the side of the bag but on the bag i received there is nothing! so now i have a useless backpack with an open sling that can only be held like a hang bag.

Such a waste . . .
