I look at it like this: a backpack is for transport, a sling bag is for shooting. Don't load everything you own in the sling bag, and your back will be fine.
I've figured that lol. But the design of the slingshot bag makes the weight distribution all over the place.

Its on the left side (the opening for the DSLR is on the left; so most of the weight is on your left when camera is in; and on the right when you dont have your camera in.)

Even when going lightweight and using the waist strap, you cant feel 100% comfortable. If you're not able to forget that you have a bag on your back; even with not a lot of stuff in it, its not a good bag.

But looks like I will be hunting deals for a flipside 300, I like the design and how small the 300 is.

Thanks guys.
