I got the black version which is much cheaper, below $50 and I couldn't be happier. I had been searching for the good backpack that is not big and doesn't look serious, high quality to protect my gears and not breaking the bank and it's the pro runner 200. There are many good camera backpack out there but I don't need the laptop compartment which make the bag heavier and big. I just want something simple to keep my gears padded at home and carry around from one place to another.
I am able to fit: Canon 60D, Sigma 50 f1.4, 85mm f1.8, 70-200F4 IS and Metz 54Mz-4i and lens hoods. I will post the picture when Amazon lets me. As someone already mentioned in his review, it doesn't have room for lens with lens hood attached so I have to leave one for all the lens hoods and flash diffuser. I am lucky that the lens hoods are in different size so I can stack them together. Other good two candidates are the Amazon basic backpack and Canon and both are under $40. However, I read many people reviews complained about the quality so I rather not get it.
Pro:
Looks better in real life than in the picture.
Good built quality
Tripod mount
Weather protection cover
Con
The two long dividers are a bit too long so there is not much room for DSLR body, very tight.
I wished it was a bit larger for one or two more lenses because I am going to get more later. The next version is pro runner 300 which is $120. If LowePro had a ProRunner 250 then it'd be perfect. If you have set up like mine then I strongly recommend it.
Update 2/19/2011
I just uploaded the picture with my stuffs in it so you know how much space you can get with this bag. I want to add that this backpack is not very comfortable to wear for a long strip although it's not big. The strap design is not good, a bit far apart and it doesn't wrap your shoulder comfortably. To me, it would be perfect if it was bit longer and narrower at the top as you see in many student backpacks and it would be more room for accessories.

I just bought it today from my local camera shop , I placed my Sony A99 fitted with Carl Zeiss 24-70 mm f2,8 lens , my 70-200 mm f2,8 ( with revered hood ) ,16 mm fish eye , Sigma 50 f1,4 and finally Sigma 105 Macro lens , I was amazed that a fairly small bag can hold all my lens arsenal .Well done Lowepro :):)

... but probably the biggest I can safely have.I have had an old minolta camera bag for decades. It's fantastic, but it's over the shoulder and my back doesn't like the weight of a Canon 5D Mark II, flash and lenses. As I travel a fair amount, I did a lot of research to find a backpack that allowed me the access I enjoyed from the slingbag AND the ability to have it has a 'personal item' to carry on board a plane. I'd really have liked one of the bigger bags, but need my roller carry-on more. This bag is about the same size as the old case, but doesn't quite fit as much in. Perhaps because the foam dividers have become thinner with age.
I've yet to see what check-in staff will say about it being a personal item and I already know that it doesn't fit the stainless steel drink bottle into one of the side pockets (v sad that) as they don't stretch out far enough, but i think it's the best I'll get for the price and size. Hence the 4 stars.
