I have a LowePro Mini Trekker 100 and that's been great for toting all my gear around for a while. When walking around or hiking (or climbing at GFM) it's nice sometimes to put the camera away for a while and get a move-on. With the backpack though, it takes longer and is more of an effort to get the camera out, take the shot, and get it back in the backpack than I witnessed with Nico's sling. Cory
