Size wise, I can carry all the equipment I want in it, since it can easily fit camera plus 3 medium size lenses (one on the camera). If you have the small primes like the nifty fifty, you can probably fit 5 lenses. Personally, I carry a Canon T2i with the kit lens, a telephoto lens (not one of them big ones), a speedlite (this takes as much space as a lens), battery charger, filters, extra batteries, and everything fits very comfortably in so comfortably that I was wondering if the 6x would have been enough too. You can customize the compartments however you want depending on what you carry.
The best thing about it, which is why I got this instead of a backpack type is that the external total volume is small, so if I go travel I can just shove it in my main luggage without problems, and don't have to add another piece of luggage on planes.
Personally I like the brown color too, way more than the black/grey one. It doesn't stand out, but it also doesn't look so... well, gray. And it doesn't scream "expensive stuff inside" when you're travelling.
It performs pretty well in slight rain too, never had issues, but I wouldn't stay in it for too long, not even to test it out. The padding is not very thick, I don't know how well will it do in protecting your equipment, but if I ever have the misfortune to find out, I'll let you know. I haven't figure out how to attach a small tripod gracefully to it, so maybe that could be a future upgrade :)
UPDATE: upgraded my lenses and thought I'd share. I was using mostly small and cheap lenses, so my estimates were a bit off when it comes to the larger ones. The 70-200 f4 fits inside no problem without its hood, and right now I can put in 3 pretty large lenses in the bag, but a tight fit and no room for any hoods the other 2 are 77mm lenses and the hoods are pretty wide. Still my favorite bag for traveling and walking around.

When I went looking for a new bag to hold my new Rebel T2i with the 18-135 lens, I wanted something big enough to hold most of my normal carry-around gear, but not huge. Aside from not wanting the hassle of carrying anything bigger than normal I prefer not to be too obvious with my gear. Also, I was visiting in Denver and doing some hiking, so definitely wanted something that was comfortable to carry without bouncing around against me like my last bag always did.After looking at a lot of bags, I picked this, and really love it after several months of use.
It is surprisingly comfortable to carry, either over one should, over an arm and neck, or slung around behind you. But it's quick to pull it around to get your camera out. It even has a waist strap you can use if you want. I haven't needed that yet, but I've put my monopod through that space as a handy way to carry it.
It fits the longer 18-135 lens, has lots of pockets and so forth for holding all the bits & pieces, and can even hold my charger, another lens, hood, etc. And the brown looks good.
There is a series of this bags in this Tamrac Velocity line, so pick the one that works for you. Take your camera and longest lens with your to pick the best fit)
