I thought this was a very good price for a camera backpack (£22 inc del at Amazon)

Yes, that looks very good value. It's bigger than I have use for, otherwise I would be thinking seriously about it.

Very poor weatherproofing..........your gear will get wet quite quickly.

Nearly all the reviews of people who have one are 5* .........

Perhaps no one goes out taking photo's in the rain.

I suppose that if it starts raining while you're out on a photographic hike it would quickly become an issue. For £22 you can't expect too much.

How about this one:

Lowepro Slingshot 302AW - Amazon - £34.50



It has a waterproof coverall in the bottom pocket.

I've got the200AW,don't like it.l'm after a Lowepro Nova A200.

Its a good price though.

Yes that's the one,or the slightly smaller 190.

Another I might consider is the Tamrac System 6

I am using a Tamrac shoulder bag at present,but its just not big enough

The main reason I don't like the slingshot is when you swing the bag in front of you,the access to the camera is at the front,not  at the top(looking down on it).

[roseway]

That's a good point about the slingshot. I've been looking on and off for a more capacious shoulder bag for some time, but there's definitely a limit on how much weight I'm prepared to carry around, so for the moment I'm using a small bag with just one superzoom lens attached.

I am thinking of buying my first digital SLR and the weight is one of the issues I have been thinking about and why I have been looking at bags.

Having got both a Lowepro and a Tamrac bag,imo the Lowepro is better finished off inside.
