Yes, I thought it was rather expensive too, but $200 would be cheap over
here in Denmark (and England). In Denmark the list price is $360, including
25% sales tax. About once a year there is usually a two-week sale where
LowePro bags are reduced by 20%. I bought my pack when visiting the UK. The
list price there is the same as in Denmark, but you can usually find LowePro
discounted from mailorder shops. I paid 130GBP = 260USD approx (including
17.5% sales tax).
I would also confirm the reviewer's comment that the Quick Access side door
is not really big enough for a large Pro DSLR. However, I use it for an
E-330 and 18-180 lens, and have had no problems. The zipper slider has a
long extension which is easy to grab. I would have liked the bag to be a bit
taller, but I think the size was dictated by airline carryon
requirements....
All in all a good bag though, when I need to carry non-photographic gear as
well as camera equipment. Otherwise I usually use a LowePro Slingshot 100 or
200.
