What's great about it: Has a good amount of room and its all easy to access. The price is pretty good for what you get.
What's not so great: some of the materials could be a little higher quality
Recently I purchased a Canon 60D with an 18-200 lens and decided that I needed a bag to carry it in and its accessories. It has plenty of room for the camera with the lens on it plus all the items the camera came with (charger, cables, manuals etc). I also put my point and shoot camera with in its case in in the bag. Plus there is room for the 10 inch tablet. Not enough for a laptop, unless its tablet size and thickness. There is still room for a couple of extra lens and a flash or two. There is also a spot for a tripod to be strapped on but I have not tried that yet and I am sure it will be pretty heavy at that point.
As a sling it pretty comfortable, not as much as a backpack but close. Although it is much easier to get to the camera without completely taking the bag off. BTW I am 6' 2" so it fits be well, i don't know how it would do with someone small.
The material seem pretty high quality and seems like they should hold up well. If its going to be used ever day (professional use) I would say go with something a little more robust. The velco dividers are ok, not the greatest but do the job. The padding is ok, again I would still be careful what would knock in to. I used it skiing and it was fine. just don't fall on it, I don't think the camera would survive.
Also I don't have the extra grip for the camera but I am pretty sure it would still fit in the bags with an extra grip on it.
My next choice would be a Lowepro - Slingshot 102 AW or something similar, but the price is $30 or more.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Review 3 for Case Logic SLR Camera Sling
Good under certain circumstances
Customer Rating

What's not so great: Slides off shoulder if not strapped in as directed
I am probably not the person to review this bag. I am left handed and prefer to sling the bag over one shoulder rather than strap myself into it per the instructions. I recently flew to Florida and it constantly slipped off my shoulder. In fact, the backpack style bag seems to work better if you carry on one shoulder. It does a great job of protecting the camera, lenses, etc.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Review 4 for Case Logic SLR Camera Sling
Great product
Customer Rating

I've used a Nikon camera bag for several years. I wanted to try a sling bag however and saw this unit on sale. At the office we had used a Lowepro Slingshot 100 and it was pretty good but a bit small.
The DCB-308 by Case Logic is nicely done. I use a Nikon D5100 and even with 200mm lens attached fits easily. Lots of room. Good dividers.
Comfortable and secure.

Review 5 for Case Logic SLR Camera Sling
What a great bag!
Customer Rating

Usually don't write these, but I just had too. I do the usual search online for things I need, to find the best overall product that I can. So it was between case logic 308 and the lowepro slingshot for around the same price. I ended up with the case logic and bought the wife the slingshot. Heres the deal, if you want a sling bag that will carry A LOT more get the case logic 308, of course its larger, but once you start to get more lenses, flashes etc. You will be glad you did. It's light enough, very durable, and spacious. The lowepro slingshot is smaller and lighter but definitely a trade off in space. So for a quick photo op use the slingshot, but for everyday use I would definitely use the case logic 308. I am glad i did

What's great about it: The space without being a huge bulky pack.
What's not so great: A little challenging to get set on your back correctly.
I watched the review on this bag and I was sold. It is everything I needed to put all my equipment, books, cables, filters, lenses in. And I have some room to grow. It was a little hard to get the straps around me correctly to easily access my camera the correct way but once I got that figured out, I felt just like a pro. When not in use it sits nicely on it's bottom without toppling over. My tripod is a little too big, I think, to add it onto the side as was shown on the video, but I wouldn't trade either of them.
Even with more equipment packed it feels lighter on my shoulder/back than the case I got when I purchased my camera. I love it!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Video Review:
(click to see the video)
What's great about it: Well padded, fits camera w/ grip, and easy to access.
What's not so great: Spandex would be better in tripod holder pocket.
This sling style camera case is like a LowePro PassPort Sling, but most importantly fits a large SLR camera with a battery grip. This style lets you pull out your camera on the go, and put it away quickly while maintaining comfort and protection.
What it will fit:
Canon EOS 60D 18SLR Camera, Battery Grip BG-E9,
Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens & Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS AF Lens, 32GB & 16GB SDHC Memory Card , 3 Piece Filter Kit.
Two Rechargeable LPE6 Lithium Ion Batteries, External Digital Slave SLR Flash, 0.45x Wide Angle Lens w/ cap, 2X Telephoto Lens w/ caps.

Two Rechargeable LPE6 Lithium Ion Batteries, External Digital Slave SLR Flash, 0.45x Wide Angle Lens w/ cap, 2X Telephoto Lens w/ caps.
Wireless remote, 55mm tulip lens hood, Canon EOS Macro Extension Tube, Multi 50 in 1 USB Memory Card Reader,1- Pack of LCD Screen Protectors, Lens/LCD Maintenance Cleaning Kit, Mini Table Top Tripod

Using this sling strap is easy with the quick release clasp, and there is another one for added security for quick sprints (with the padding and seperate spaces for the lens, there is little chance that they would beat on your camera. Zippers are everywhere for things like wires, lenses, small binoculars, and note pads.
It feels just a little heavier then my wifes large purse, take out my camera book and you'll lighten the load.
If I take out the extra flash, battery charger, and Macro lens from the top compartment I'd have about 6x4x5 of space including the rain cover. With four compartments around your camera you can fit in any number of goodies and still have room above for more.
The tripod strap is good, and my 50" tripod head will barely squeezes into the zipper pouch provided. It's better then a strap and nothing else, but I don't know how long the pocket would hold up to continual abuse. If put in legs first it only fits two legs and wants to open. I wouldn't feel confident on a crowded bus with the tripod, but you can easily swing the pack around front if you are worrying about theives. The style lets you go to the park without looking like you are carrying a couch in your backpack.
My 18 year old Niece wore it like a one strap backpack and complained after 5 blocks about the weight, but I thought it was comfortable when worn correctly.
Lastly, I bought this because of good reviews at other sites and my camera with a grip wouldn't fit into the Canon 200EG, Case Logic 205, and other Lowepro slings at Best Buy. It is well padded, didn't let my stuff bang into each other and can easily be swung around, opened, take a shot, and hid.
Quick access means I'll bring it more places, such as a simple stroll around the block with the wife without looking like a tourist. Unlike a backpack this does not need to be taken off to take the camera out, so I'll always be ready to take good pictures or videos.
PS. There is one more zipper pocket on top of the camera compartment not in the video I can keep a 8x11 book in.
I would recommend this to a friend!
