I'm looking to get a new bag to carry my digital gear around in. I've got a DSLR and will have 3 lenses plus the usual cards etc.
I was looking at the Crumpler range but have now spotted the Lowepro Slingshot 200AW.
Any suggestions on what you prefer?
Cheers

Here is a recent thread on the Slingshot I am happy with mine, have onde dsrl and 3 lenses. Found mine in Singapore via ebay, that seller no longer exists but I have seen that there are ebay sellers in Canada that have Lowepro bags.

| I got the slingshot & am returning it.. kinda small and not as easy to swing to the bottom position as I'd like. |

LowePro StealthReporter 650AW...good for travelling, not good (I imagine) for hiking.

Check out Lowpro's Stealth Reporter line of shoulder bags. They're designed around the needs of photojournalists and there's different sizes to accomodate all ranges of gear. I love how inconspicuous and unobtrusive they look, but still play the part well. My favorite feature is the quick top-zip that allows you to quickly grab your camera or a lens without actually unclipping and opening the bag. Genious! :) Add full customizable/removable dividers and individual lens pouches, 2 levels of weather protection, and great build quality, and they're pretty tough to beat. I also own a Lowepro backpack but find myself never using it anymore except for travelling when I carry more gear.
Edit: Looks like Mr.Ed beat me to the punch lol. I use the Stealth Reporter 400AW and usually carry 3 lenses and body + cards and batteries

I have 2 of the Stealth reporter bags, the 650 AW and the 200 AW.
The 650 is HUGE, as in cavernous. I only take it if I need to bring along my laptop. Most of the time it serves as the mothership for the stuff that's not in my 200. I currently have, in my 200AW; 10D w/grip, Tamron 28-75 & hood (on 10D), Canon 85 f1.8 & hood, Canon 50mm f1.8, lensbaby, Peleng 8mm fish, Sigma 12-24, Canon 70-200 f4L and my TC-80 remote timer.
If I want to take my flash, I have to take out a couple of lenses (usually the 70-200).
The bags themselves are awesome, it's easy to switch lenses through the top zipper without setting the bag down, the top drizzle shield is great when it's rainingm but you have to keep working and the all-weather cover will keep your bag & contents dry unless you're out covering a hurricane as it happens. They can accept all the Street&Field accessories and I highly recommend the Deluxe waistbelt if you plan to do much hiking.

Lowepro Mini Trekker might do the trick for you. I have one and can fit two bodies, flash, a few lenses.
Lowepro Micro Trekker 200 might also do, but I figure it's better to get a camera bag with a bit of extra room because sometimes you'll want/need it.
I've never seen any of the Crumpler range myself, but I have seen a couple of positive reviews on them.

Very well built, and modular so you can always add on.
