Review on Case Logic DCB 308 Camera Sling by Scott Clayton

I think this is a decent bag for the price but I ended up returning it for another one. I bought this and a Lowepro Slingshot 250 to try both and ended up leaving the Lowepro Slingshot. It wasn't a huge price difference, but the overall quality is much better. I used to have a Tenba shoulder bag that I've outgrown and wanted something larger for travel and day trips. While very pretty, the place got overcrowded and I couldn't fit everything I had accumulated over the years. I didn't want a bulky shoulder bag or backpack that I have to remove to get to the camera, so I figured a shoulder bag would be perfect. I love the overall design of both models and love the sling bag concept, but the Lowepro design is slightly better. For example, Case Logic's top compartment zips open from the bottom, and when opening, things can easily fall out. Also, my 60 inch tripod didn't fit the body logic. The Slingshot also has a water bottle holder which is a big plus when hiking or walking. Both come with a rain cover which I needed as I've been out in the rain before and didn't want to risk damaging my gear. The benefit of this bag over the Lowepro is that the storage compartment is larger and more customizable. . There's really only one way to set it up with the Lowepro, and it fits just right. There is a lot of space in this case logic. The downside is that this makes the bag a bit bulky and doesn't quite fit me. The top part with the handle was sticking out and the bag didn't lay flat on my back. That wasn't so convenient. Overall the quality is ok but compared to the Lowepro it was like night and day. I just don't see Case Logic being as durable as Slingshot. The material quality is significantly better with Slingshot. By comparing both sides in person, you can easily determine which is better. And since the price was close, I chose the slingshot.
