On streets or trails, you can shoot all day when you wear the lightweight, comfortable Fastpack 200 backpack from Lowepro. It protects a digital SLR with a mid-range zoom lens attached, plus 2-3 extra lenses or flash units, audio player, and other gear. You won't mis a shot, because the side-entry compartment lets you quickly grab equipment and accessories, without having to take the backpack off! Customize the easy-to-access main compartment with adjustable dividers, use the outer organizer to keep large accessories handy, and manage memory cards with a built-in pocket. Brethable, contoured shoulder straps distribute weight evenly.

Great bag for your camera
So you just bought your first DSLR and you're looking for THE bag to protect your hard earned money.

Unfortunately for me, I bought a tamrac (expedition 3) in my haste to have a bag for my DSLR. Wrong decision as it was too stiff. Although my camera will be well protected, I was worried all the time that my camera LCD, camera body, lens, and other stuff would get scratched by its velcro lining (really stiff, scratched the back of my hands while moving the compartments around). Not to mention the zippers that are really a pain to open/close. I'm the type who puts his camera back in the bag instead of settling it on a table when not in use even though I know I'll be using it again in a couple of hours. So it was really tedious to open/close the whole bag just to get the camera.

I have a friend with a Lowepro flipside. I like the accessibility but I didn't like how it looked, triangular like a pigeon hole. Plus the fact that it looks like a camera bag (too flashy)...

Terrific general purpose camera bag
This backpack is very well designed for its purpose: casual travel or street photography. It keeps one camera easily accessible, looks like a regular backpack, and safely holds a moderate amount of gear.

I've previously traveled for weeks at a time with a traditional Domke shoulder bag (J-1 or J-3). Here are the pros and cons of the Fastpack compared to a traditional "journalist" bag:

Pros
-- More comfortable to carry for long periods.
-- Doesn't look like an obvious camera bag.
-- Once zipped up, your gear is well padded on all sides; it can sit sideways, go in an overhead compartment, etc.
-- Leaves plenty of extra space for your water bottle, guidebook, sunglass case, lunch bag, whatever.

Cons
-- Obviously less convenient during a shoot. Your camera is pretty easy to get to. You could maybe get to one more lens with the bag still on your shoulder. But that's it.
-- Layout of the main compartment is not very flexible;...

Misleading Advertising
This is a good product overall, but I was very disappointed to find out that it does not have a waist belt. I did a lot of research to ensure whatever camera bag I got had a waist or chest belt to alleviate the weight that goes on the shoulders. The video for this product on Lowepro's website shows a "comfortable light-weight harness" as they call it. But after receiving the product I see that it does not have one. I contacted Lowepro and it turns out that the product video is for the whole Fastpack series and this harness is only available on higher models...no mention of this exception in the video or in the product description/specs.
