Odd Design is Right [Posted on 2006-12-03]
The large flap which covers the big outside pocket but NOT the main compartment is large and full of stiffeners but doesn't zip to even allow as much as some microfiber cleaning cloth. The unzippered neoprene side pocket is also only on one side. The front of the pocket compartment folds down and also opens from the bottom and is where the little raincoat for the bag is. It offers some extra cushioning of your memory cards and batteries, I suppose. Is the little raincoat really needed? How about a little umbrella, LowePro? The main compartment is large enough for the Rebel XTi with the kit lens and the 70-300 zoom, and a Powershot S2. A Panasonic FX01 fits in the pocket. There is enough room for all the memory cards and batteries. Why is it so hard to find a decent mid sized bag?
Update: If you take out the dividers and remove the lens hoods from your lenses, it will hold the Canon kit lens, a 50/1.8, Sigmas 70-300, 10-20, and a Sigma 28-200 on the camera. CAREFULLY zipped. But when shooting, the camera is around your neck leaving plenty of room for the lenses and easy lens transfers.
Good Deal [Posted on 2007-08-18]
I just purchased this bag and found it had alot of little spaces to use for filters or memory cards. It has a good tight feel to it and for as much as I will use it (just once in a awhile) it should last for years. Tight construction and easily configured dividers to fit whatever lenses you might have. Max lens about 80-300. The camera will fit in the middle with the 28-70 on it which leaves 2 pockets on each side for lenses. Nice compact design.
Great! [Posted on 2008-01-17]
This is a fantastic bag by lowepro. It's a blend of high-capacity and quick access holster styles. I can easily fit my D70s with 18-200mm telephoto (attached) and my SB-800 flash into the bag.
I at first thought the front flap was useless, but it actually exists to provide more waterproof coverage to the bag. When you deploy the All-weather (it's stowed in a velcro compartment at the bottom of the bag), it wraps around the bottom, up the sides, and over the top of the bag to provide water protection. Try it yourself. You'll find that the front flap provides protection where the All-weather cannot reach. Together the All-weather and front flap give 80% protection from the elements.
I think the All-weather sheath is a bit unnecessary. Lowepro should have invested a little more money into the bag and made it with waterproof materials rather than including the All-weather sheath.
Also, the strap the camera comes with is a bit squeaky. Luckily it can be detached and replaced with any other strap you own. Otherwise, the squeakiness would have driven me insane!
I still love this bag.

Perfect Bag [Posted on 2008-04-10]
Really great bag to carry an SLR and 2-3 lenses. This is perfect for my Canon 40D, its 28-135 lens, wide angle zoom lens, and a macro lens. Accessories fit in too. I was a little confused as to whether it would fit the body and three lens until I received it. Don't worry, they'll fit unless you have huge lenses.
Use it for lens and accessories [Posted on 2008-06-18]
Nice comfortable bag, especially the strap. I use it carry three lenses (the Canon 70-200mm the largest), an external flash on the side pocket, an Epson P-2000 (front pocket) and graphic cards. Very useful this way for wedding photography and event gigs. Wish I had bought it on Amazon. I would have saved $20.
