1) It comes with a "rain cover", which is stored in the front pouch of the bag. Personally I don't like this; I would rather the bag be weatherproof enough to handle a reasonable amount of rain without the need for a separate cover, but this does make the design of the bag difficult. There are people out there who like the extra security of a rain cover though, so I won't mark that against this bag.
2) This model is SMALL. The description says a body and "small telephoto", but I believe they mean to say "small zoom" (a telephoto is generally considered to be any lens with a FL longer than 70mm, zoom or not). This will hold any of the listed mirrorless bodies and a kit lens (18-55, 16-50, 30, 35, etc.) attached, and NOTHING ELSE. My NEX-6 with a 18-55 will fit, but the same camera with my 18-200 will NOT. If you are looking for a lens-only holster for a belt-rig setup, this bag will carry my Canon 24-70 II (NOT the version I) with almost no room to spare--frankly, there are better offering out there for this purpose though.
Just because a bag is small doesn't make it bad though, as all bags are meant for different purposes. I would use this bag if you want a snug fit for discreteness (say, a casual outing where you don't want to be lugging around a fat camera bag) or portability (hiking excursions, travel, for the same aforementioned reason).
3) Comes with a shoulder strap and belt loop, the latter being the better method for a bag of this size (carrying such a small bag over the shoulder is cumbersome). I wouldn't use the shoulder strap unless you're a lady and don't wear a belt.
4) Magnetic flap clasp. A nice touch, normally velcro (loud) or a clip (difficult) is used instead, but the magnetic clasp is a nice touch. Unless your camera is made of lead, the hold is easily strong enough to keep the camera in the bag should the bag invert while the zipper is not closed (the purpose of having a front flap in the first place), but provides quicker and quieter access to the camera than velcro or a clip in a 'run and gun' shooting environment. The only issue I can see with a magnetic clasp is that the camera is more susceptible to being pickpocketed if you keep the zipper open often (velcro makes things difficult because it is loud, and a clip is more difficult to get open). Personally, I like the magnetic clasp best of the three designs, but just keep that in mind while traveling.
Overall great bag, just on the small side. I'm personally returning it, but that's my fault for not paying attention to how small it was.

This case is a near-perfect fit for the NEX-6 with the 16-50mm lens and its neck strap the way I have it configured. It has a moveable separator that attaches inside with velcro. I have the separator placed for a just-right fit for easy in-out while leaving a narrow slot for several batteries. The case is nicely padded with a zipper top. But when out and about you can leave the zipper open and the lid stays down with a magnetic latch on the front flap. So the camera is well protected but can come out at a moments notice. It has a sturdy belt loop, a neck strap, and comes with a waterproof nylon pouch that stores neatly in the front compartment. Extra memory cards can be stored in the pocket on the inside of the top lid.Best Deals for Think Tank Mirrorless Mover 5 Bag for Mirrorless Camera Body
