Even though I found the waist straps too much trouble to use, I still like the bag with just the shoulder strap. It holds 3 lenses with hoods attached (and more if you stack smaller primes) and all the cards, batteries, etc. that I normally carry. It is deep enough that you can carry a water bottle in place of one lens if you prefer. I usually carry my camera out of the bag, but it will fit a small or medium size DSLR with lens attached along with 2 lenses -a preferred carry for wet or dusty conditions. The tripod straps on the bottom and loops for slip-lock add-ons on each end are a plus. I would recommend this as a second bag when you wish to travel light but it is a bit small for a primary bag.
Since using this case more often, I added another star. It has become my "walk around" bag of choice, and I have lots of bags to choose from. Remember however, that I cut off all the belt/waist straps.

like the old camcorder bags, this bag is great to hold your camcorder or DSLR (without vertical grip). The carrying options are great; either use the shoulder strap or the built in belt clip. When tucking the belt away in the provided slot, it does feel a bit uncomfortable. Big plus is the side straps to add lens case, thus expanding your capacity. I use it as an accessory bag: lenses, flash, batteries and etc.
big minus is the thin slot pockets, you really can't put anything thicker than 1/2" in there without creating a bulge and the Velcro closure is not secure. My old camcorder bag had a zipper pocket that was 1.5" in width; it was great for batteries and thicker items. Lowepro needs to get rid of the thin pocket concept with some of their other bags; my flipside 300 also has a useless side pocket that can't hold thick item too.

Honest reviews on Lowepro Photo Runner 100 Convertible Beltpack/Shoulder Bag for DSLR
I didn't need a bag for my camera. I keep it around my neck. I needed something to keep my flash, 50MM 1.8 lens, stereo microphone, LED panel, and a few small items at ready while shooting weddings. Every bag I had was either too small or too large. This bag is just right. I still have not decided if I prefer the waist belt or the shoulder strap. The two front pockets are not very useful due to their design. The small one is really only good for business cards. I like the memory card pockets in the lid, but it would be better if Lowepro had color coded them red and green. This has been standard industry practice for years. Overall I think this is a good deal for the price. The Think Tank Retrospective 7 is about the same size and nicer, but at $150 is too pricey for me.

I purchased this for my Canon EOS 450D and three lenses. It would have been perfect if the shoulder strap padding had been attached correctly. Unfortunately I could not move it into a comfortable position so had to return the product. I was refunded quickly but have since purchased a different bag although it was probably a one-off error, I was put off purchasing another Lowepro.
