Reviews of Lowepro Nova 2 AW Camera Bag (Black)

Customer Ratings:

I purchased this bag for my Canon Digital Rebel SLR and I am extremely pleased. It is not the largest gadget bag that I own, but it is the best by far. The bag itself is 10" high, 9" wide and 6" deep so it is ideally sized for travel with your camera. It is well sized and balanced for carrying over one shoulder using the comfortable strap which is included. The bag is made of nylon, but it has a very study frame to it so the bag keeps its shape. Lowepro was generous with distributing the padding and I feel that the bag keeps my equipment quite safe.

The bag includes padded dividers which can be configured using Velcro. I have the bag configured so that I put my camera body with my 28-135mm lens attached into the bag lens first so that I can take it out again quickly. The dividers have rigidity to them so I am comfortable that they will support the camera body without risking the lens will hit the bottom of the bag. There is also enough room for my 300mm lens and accessories such as my spare batteries or lens covers.

Pockets include one on each side of the bag. There is a great zippered pocket on the back of the bag that is really useful for quickly stowing papers or books. There is also a zippered pocket inside the top flap where I keep my memory cards. The pocket on the front is also zippered and subdivided to store memory cards, filters, etc.

The bag includes a limited lifetime warranty. The bag is very well built and much better than any of the similar bags that I was looking at such as those by Targus which I did not think were as sturdy as this one.

In summary, I think that this is a great bag for a SLR camera. I use it extensively for my travels and I am very happy with it.

Best Deals for Lowepro Nova 2 AW Camera Bag (Black)

This is my second Lowepro bag (the other being a Slingshot 100 AW), but it's my most preferred. This is especially true for those days when I want to carry just the camera and one zoom lens (in my case, an Olympus E-500 with a 14-54mm/f2.8-3.5 lens) for family outings and visits, parties, etc. This should not imply the bag doesn't hold all I need, quite the contrary. This bag easily accommodates a FL-36 flash, an Olympus EC-14 teleconverter, Stofen Omnibounce, a spare BLM-1 battery, extra batteries for my flash, extra CF cards, a Lenspen, a tabletop tripod, a CP filter, and RM-1 remote switch, and other small accessories. It can even accept my E-500/14-54 with the EC-14 mounted as well, with no loss of room -all this in a compact size and it's relatively lightweight too. What more can I ask?

Honest reviews on Lowepro Nova 2 AW Camera Bag (Black)

I use this bag with a Nikon D70, a large flash and a Sony camcorder. It holds all three with extra batteries, lens cleaner, media cards and a mini tripod to boot. It is comfortable and very secure. I've had alot of bags in over 30 years of shooting -a few of them working in a camera store. This is the top if it holds all your gear. The weather cover is a nice bonus that I found only after I got the bag home. Five stars.

The bag is well padded and fits the following in the main compartment

Nikon D80 with 18-200mm lens attached

50mm f1.8 lens

SB600 flash OR battery charger (bulky for D80 battery)

The bag has several pockets:

Pocket in front of bag. I store extra batteries, memory here.

Pocket inside the top cover. They placed a piece of cloth/vinyl to cover the zipper pull so it won't scratch what you have in the main compartment. A nice thought.

Side external pockets (exposed). I guess you can stick paper maps here.

The lid feels very sturdy. It is a fairly tight fit, and may require some fiddling with to close. The only "-" for the bag.
