Get the 200 instead. The little bit of extra room makes all the difference.

These area seriously good camera bags for DSLR users. The 200 is the most popular - it will hold 3 lenses plus a flash, or your camera plus lunch and snacks for hiking.

The 100 will only hold 1 extra lens plus a flash. This is a good choice as a small bag for a poser with just the kit lens.

If you're lucky enough to have an REI store nearby (I am not) and ship to the store then you can get the 100 or 200 for $55 or $69 respectively (no rebate), but + local tax. Of course, you might be able to get it at the store at the same price anyways, who knows.

Probably cost a bit more but no rebate to deal with (put that extra $10 or $20 in a high interest savings account for 6 weeks or whatever and... well, you'll probably lose money due to inflation...)

the 200 works great for my d80 + extras, the 100 was small (though 45 on fleaBay and 200w for 65 at Costco)

i got the one at costco and in the main compartment, it's good for 1 flash, 1 body (with lense attached) and 2 small lenses. there is a top compartment that will hold a lot of accessories. fi you have 2-3 lenses and a flash, this is a good bag, but it'll be a tight fit. if you don't need a flash, then you can put 4 small lenses or 1 300mm and 2 small lenses and 1 attached. build quality is solid, cool weather cover and nice compact design. also, the sling is designed so that you dont' have to tahe the backpack all the way off to get our camera out. you can just rotate the bag to the side of your body. nice feature.

for a second, i thought it was going to be a real backpack. what a bummer.

This is a great line of camera bags. I've got the 200 and love it. Very well built, is comfortable over the shoulder, good areas for accessories.

Anyone needing info about the bigger bag

I have the 300aw and it holds

Mark III with 85 1.2 mounted, and has room for my 580exII, 24-70L, 70-200 L, and 35 1.4

Lens hoods make it a little stuffy, but it does fit.

Great walk around bag, just remember all the weight will be on your left shoulder.

Eh spend the extra 10 bucks and get the model with 2 straps. it has the same side loading. It just doesn't sling as easy for fat asses.

I have the 200 and it's great. Love the way it swings around.

One nice thing about a sling bag is that in crowded places (g on public transit) I swing the bag forward and hold it more securely.

What's not so nice about it is that it's uncomfortable after a while with a full load, and it looks a little strange.
