Don't know about the snapr but I do use the black rapid double harness for weddings and events and can vouch for it's quality. I carry two bodies with 24-70 2.8 and 70-200 2.8 all day for roughly 12-14 hours and can hardly feel a thing.

I've got the SnapR (actually the first one in the UK 
), BR weren't confident that the GF-1 would go in however they needn't have worried as with the 20mm on it is a perfect fit, although perhaps I should qualify "perfect" by saying that the combo won't go in if there is a filter AND a lens cap attached and the extra height of the attachment ring when fitted to the base of the camera means the whole thing needs a slight wiggle to get it into the bag.
There are zipped pockets on either side, although being that the GF-1/20mm combo is quite snug in the main section the most you could store in them are things like filters or memory cards.
One handy feature that I really like is that the bag section is detachable, so if you wish you can simply use the strap on it's own and BR also supply a wriststrap in case you wish to use the camera without the bag or main strap.
All in all, I'm really pleased with the set-up, there are larger versions due for release within the next few weeks, however for me at least the compact size of the original make it the perfect companion for the GF-1.

Thanks Phil and Flash in the Pan,
My only reservation is that I have also got a 14-45 as well which obviously won't go in it. The design of the snapr really appeals to me though. I have got a Kata backpack but its a pain continually taking it off your back to get the camera out etc.
I might wait and see what sizes they come up with.
I appreciate your feedback, thanks.

From what I've been told by BR the next version will only be slightly bigger, to hold the likes of the Olympus Pen, so that probably won't be suitable either, unfortunately...
