One of the first things to look for in a camera sling/shoulder bag is the capacity. Depending on what camera format you are using, may it be APS-C or Full-Frame, the capacity of the sling/shoulder bags should be able to carry your camera plus a few lenses.
Since sling/shoulder bags sacrifice capacity for portability, you are going to first have to consider what camera you are using, lenses you can't live without, and other travel essentials you might need when you are out and about, ie water bottles, tripods, etc.
Once you determine the minimum items you need, you will then have to find a sling/shoulder bag that can fit all of those items. Anything less than that is out of the picture.
Thankfully, many camera shoulder/sling bag manufacturers nowadays offer many size options to fit your need so be sure to look out for it when you are shopping for new camera sling/shoulder bags.
Like with travel backpacks, when you are looking around for a sling/shoulder bag, you are going to have to find the ones that have the look and design that fits your wardrobe and look great on you.
This is especially important for sling/shoulder bags as I consider it to be among wearable items, the same as a shirt or a necklace, and if you are traveling with it, you will likely be taking photos of yourself carrying the bag most of the time.
Think of it as part of your clothes when you are thinking of buying a camera shoulder/sling bag. If you are the type of person who likes to wear your favorite shirts that you look great in while traveling, be sure to alsopick a sling/shoulder camera bag that has the look & style you are going for.
Sling/shoulder bags aren't known for their ergonomic and combine that with the heavy camera gear you are carrying, it is important that the camera sling/shoulder bag you are buying is comfortable enough for you to carry it for hours on end.
Look for a camera sling/shoulder bag that comes with a padded back panel and make sure that the straps are made of good material, well-padded, and comfortable to carry.
Since the weight of your bag is focused on only one shoulder, it might be worthwhile to look for a shoulder/sling bag that comes with a stabilizer strap to help with the weight distribution. All in all, be sure to consider comfortability before investing in a camera sling/shoulder bag.
Peak Everyday Sling is the classic recommendation for a sling camera bag and for good reasons. Peak Everyday Sling is probably one of the most feature-rich sling bags out there and you can take advantage of its integration with other Peak products like the Peak camera clip, etc.
