I am considering this bag and wanted feedback from anyone
who may have one here. I did read a couple old threads here
where they were mentioned. I can not find any locally
to go and see in person. My friend has the slingbag and I also saw
the fastpack and tried it on. I found it to be comfortable but didn't
care for it's size and style for storage. Is the Micro Trekker backpack
straps padded like their othe bags and comfortable. There are times when I will probable carry it just slung over one shoulder. Is this possible with how the straps are designed. I would appreciate any and all imput you have. I still
haven't decided if I will go with the 100 or 200 yet.

i just purchased the sling yesterday. I have a nikon d60 an a 55-200 lens, flash and two batteries. The bag holds everything nicely. I like the fact that you can get to the camera and the lens from the side.
the Side opens half way for easy use. It also opens all the way so you can reload the equipment if needed.
We purchased the camera and bag to take to Alaska in June.
I like the fact that the bag can be a sling or cross over your chest. It has room for extras. The bag has a dust and water hood that hides in the back of the pack.
Its lite and comfortable to take.

Wishes2you, I sent you a PM on this but will repost my reply here as there are others who are also interested.
I have the 200 and love it. It isn't too big and is very comfortable to wear. There is a front pocket for a few necessities other than camera stuff (wallet, keys etc) plus inside there are some small zip pockets for batteries, etc.
I actually carry three different lenses (plus the lens on my camera), our small video camera and tapes, and even our point and shoot camera in it.
There is an outside side pocket that you could carry your cell phone in as well.
I'd highly recommend it!!
Oh, and I bought mine at Best Buy up here in Canada.

Thank you Cdn Friends of Pooh and Disneynikon
for your help with this. I think that I am leaning
toward the 200 micro trekker back pack. It seems
to have the right amount of space for what I need
and isn't too large.
Cdn Friends of Pooh I got your PM and also sent you
one back. Thank you.
