Lowepro Flipside 300 Archive

  • I had planned to start doing research on this sometime before my upcoming London trip but has now been put off indefinately because I happened across a new bag at, of all places, Costco. Costco here in Vancouver sells the Swissgear Sling camerabag for $37.99 plus taxes. Walking past the pallet of these bags in nice small boxes it seemed likely that they met most of the critera, and I figured for around $40 it was worth taking a shot.

  • And now I have the bag. My first impression of the bag is that it is fairly large, but the photo pack insert is not much bigger than the interior of my Lowepro Flipside 300. The photo pack is about the same height and about 10-20% wider than the inside of the Lowepro. In practical terms I think that the Sequence will allow me to hold one more large lens if I pack carefully.

  • Cut to our T-ball opening day festivities and team picture day. While watching the team walk through their individual and team shots a bag in the photo tent caught my eye. At first it looked like a regular backpack but then I noticed that it was full of camera gear. It was rear-opening. It looked cool. It looked big. It had a padded hip strap. As I was drawn in closer I saw the Dakine label. Drool.
