Review #1
(Added 14th Feb 2009)
Equipment list in bag :
Nikon D300 with MB-D10 Grip
Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 mounted on camera
SB-800 Speedlight with diffuser
Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR
Nikon 85mm f/1.8

4xAA batteries

blower, grey card, spare CF cards in wallet, couple of filters
I was looking for a shoulder bag which could I could easily access my camera and mounted lens swiftly and that was high enough to be able to contain my D300 with my 70-300mm (or future 50-150mm f/2.8) lens mounted and had spare room for 2-3 lenses and a flash. The Stealth Reporter D200AW fit my requirements exactly. I'm not a big fan of the Lowepro shoulder straps so I have substituted it with a ThinkTank photo shoulder strap you can see in this photo. It's a well built bag, very sturdy with well thought out compartments and dividers - I like the fact that the side dividers sit low in the bag - keeps them separate but easy to reach in and pull out for quick lens changes. For me, the D200AW is the perfect size shoulder bag for a 4-6 hour day. To carry more equipment for longer days I would likely use a backpack instead as the amount of equipment you can put in there can increase weight and shoulder strain
Likes about the bag:
Great compartments and divider size. Easy access. Room for growth with Sidelock system. Well built.
Dislikes about the bag:
Top zipper (in the middle of the top cover) really is only big enough for a small SLR and lens to pull through. Even then, the gap is fairly narrow and it's just faster to unbuckle the top flap to get fast access to shoot.
