I scouted around for quite a long time before buying this bag and I am pleased with it. I wanted something comfortable to wear, something that didn't scream "camera", something with plenty of room for a camera, a couple of lenses and still enough room for keys, wallet, pen and notepad etc and yet not too big as to encourage overstuffing. My Mythos covers all those bases and after using it almost daily for 7 or 8 months now I'm still happy with it's quality and practicality.
I carry a hefty Nikon D200, usually with lens attached, and have room for another 2 lenses or lens and flash. The zipper mesh pocket holds memory cards and little sundries, and the bigger pocket in the front has ample room for phone, batteries, filters and other necessities. The shoulder strap is wide with a nice pad on it which distributes the weight well.
The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars is that the vertical zippers separating the front and rear compartments tend to creep down on both sides. This isn't a problem when the front latch is kept latched but occasionally I've carelessly grabbed the bag when it's not latched and noticed the zippers heading south. That could easily dump everything out, a scary thought. It hasn't gotten any worse over the months I've used it, but I'm keeping a watchful eye on it.

After using this bag daily for the past 3 weeks I find it sturdily built with quality materials, optimally sized for daily use, and lightweight yet with plenty of padding. It's stealthy in that it doesn't really look like a typical camera case. My Canon EOS 450D fits snugly in the main compartment with a point-n-shoot and a couple of lenses. The case opens very cleverly and the main compartment can be accessed from the top or the front very cool.I didn't give it 5 stars because of the cost. I found it on sale ($45) at a national electronics merchant, which made the price easier to swallow.

It fits perfectly for my T1i kit and extra telephoto lens. Extra space could be used for POS camera, flash or hood. Pretty much that's all for the main space. There are 2 other zipper for front and back pouches that can be used for memory card, multi-tools, filter, paper, pen, battery and charger.
Camera can be access from top or front. As other reviewer mention, the front zipper wasn't securely lock. It may open by itself if you forgot to close the latch. Probably tamrac/lowepro had better design, but for the money and beginner bag, this one match the profile.
