I tend to not take my camera around because of the fact that all my bag are kinda cumbersome or just not fast enough for me to pull out my camera. i was thinking of something like a sling bag like those old gap ones back in the day where u can just pull easily to the front and grab what u need right away. i would love to see one with quick access pocket just for my 5d and 24-105 so when i see a nice shot i can just whip it out. right now i have a 5mdh, 7mdh, and a dakine bag with camera block. 5mdh is too small and just feels bulky and the other two are too big and slow. the 5mdh is a little slow also. will be selling it soon most likely.

anyone have any suggestions to if this bag actually exist or similar ones. it would be nice to have extra space for a flash and maybe a lens and misc stuff. i dont really need a small bag i just want one that i can access my camera really quickly without have to take off the bag to do it.

edit. sorry i just looked at the lowepro site and saw some. but any others is greatly appreciated.

Bring your gear to Costso and try out the Lowepro (AW200) Sling bag $75.00

If you can wait for shipping then buy it at Amazon

Slingshot 200 demo - http://www.youtube.com …cUrA&feature=ch​annel_page (external link) - It takes longer to untangle the wretched camera strap than to remove the camera.

thanks but it kinda sucks that every other video review of the 200 aw is in a non english language. :(

You may also want to consider a small Domke bag.

You can try a kata 3N1 10/20/30 depending on how much gear you want to carry.

My slingshot 200 fully loaded was very uncomfortable to wear. All the pressure was on one shoulder so my back started hurting after about 1-hour.
