Well my DW and I will be doing the NY to Canada cruise on the Magic in August. During our stop in St. John we booked the Bay of Fundy Photography excursion. I didn't want to carry around my regular camera bag that normally holds all of my equipment because it's so darn big. So I did some research and decided on the Lowepro SlingShot 202 AW. I went down to my local Best Buy and they had no trouble price matching B&H's price of $59.99 . Best Buy's price was $99. I gotta say this bag holds a lot more then it looks.
My D200 with MB-D200 battery pack and a Nikon 18-200 attached along with a Nikon 35mm 1.8 and my Tokina 11-16 fit easily. All this along with a battery charger, Black Rapid camera strap, a extra leather camera strap, filters for the lenses, instruction booklet along with photography notes, cleaning equipment, wired remote shutter release, 3 extra batteries, my SB-600 flash with a flash defuser and last but not least my Manfrotto 715SHB travel tripod. Nothing is crammed in and everything is easy to get to. It may not be the perfect camera bag but for me it's pretty darn close.
I'll post pics when I get back...
 
Wow! You carry a lot of equipment in your camera bag! I have the lowepro sling AW102 and I love it as well...great purchase for me. Glad it worked out so well for you.
 
I have the AW102 and love it!!! When I was in Nashville I had my Sony A57 with the 75-300 lens connected, and the kit 35-55 lens. I also had my Sony DSC-HX100 along with two extra batteries, and personal stuff. I didn't have to carry a purse along with me during the day or in the evening at the concerts. I will definitely be taking this to WDW in Dec!!! (although, I probably won't be taking the other sony camera...just the P/S.
 

Thanks for the recommendation! We're looking for a new camera bag and that one looks like it might just be perfect.
 
Another positive recommendation for the Slingshot. I have the Slingshot 102Awbag and it carries my Canon t3i, 28mm prime, 85mm prime, 200mm prime, charger, wallet and keys perfectly. Really nice, very functional bag. Padding is really good too, so the gear is well protected. It even has it's own built in raincoat.
