This is a great camera bag. It is solid, good construction, padding should give very good protection. It's good quality. The included carrying strap is sturdy, has padding for your shoulder, and has a swivel on each end (something many leading camera makers themselves are too cheap to include these days) so it doesn't get all twisted up. Good dimensions, too--enough room, but the shape means that there's not a lot of wasted space.
It's nice to have both a carrying strap, and a handle for quick "grab and go."
I downgraded from 5 stars to 4 because I'm finding the dual zipper (pulls on both sides, toward the middle) doesn't pull smoothly and it's become an irritation every time I open and close the case. Also, even a good zipper is slower than Velcro. If they had put on a Velcro tab for quick opening and closing (and retained the zipper for fuller and more secure closure) I would have left it at 5 stars.
Inside: My K-5 with 55-300mm lens attached (not exactly a svelte or petite item) fits perfectly. There are two main compartments with a vertical divider; with the K-5 & long lens in one I could put another smaller lens or two in the other (not another zoom, though). I could also put a smaller camera in there (not a bridge camera, but certainly a pocket camera or a "tough" camera).
Inside, part II: My Olympus E-M1 with 75-300mm lens attached fits perfectly. On the other side of the compartment divider, an extra lens (14-75mm)and extra battery. There's a zipper pouch on the outside for extra SDHC card.
There are also compartments for memory cards, extra batteries, eyeglasses, money, whatever. Or you could put your camera in one side and a sandwich and a cold drink in the other. :-) A great addition to the kit and one that will see a lot of use when roaming around looking for shots.
