Looking for a small bag for your SLR? Well I'd suggest a Nova 1 bag instead, as this will be too much for your uses.Looking for a large bag for two or more SLRs? Well this bag is too small.
If you however have a SLR, 2-3 lenses and a flash, it's just right. I carry my Nikon D70s (with a battery grip attached), 18-70, 70-300VR, and 50mm lenses as well as a SB600 flash in this bag. Any of the three lenses can be attached, and the other two can go along for the ride. The flash cannot fit attached to the camera, but it fits when you disconnect it. I even can throw in the AC adapter, extra batteries, extra compact flash cards, and a memory reader. All of this fits with the top securely zipped shut. The whole setup is a rather large and heavy affair, but it works well as a carry on. It seals well, so it's very weatherproof as is, but there is a raincoat thats stowed in the bottom that covers it even better (I don't think I want to be in a rainstorm that necessitates that). The one thing that can be an issue is that this bag is too much if you're just taking a camera and one lens. I still have a Nova 1, which serves this function well, and the dividers that came with the Nova 1 came in handy, as this bags allotment was sufficient for most uses, but not mine.
Best Deals for Lowepro Nova 3 AW Camera Bag -Black
Don't let the 4 star rating fool you. This is a really well-constructed camera bag with lots of room for storage, but may be too much for the amateur photographer that may not be carrying multiple lens and several catridges of 35 mmm film. I bought this for my wife to hold her Canon EOS XT and it does a dandy job of it but is really too bulky for traveling. It went with us to Hawaii but was too difficult to carry around when sightseeing and taking pictures (not to mention having it as a carry-on when flying). In it I was carry an extra battery, battery charger, several extra flash cards, and that's about it. I ended up getting a Lowepro Topload Zoom1 Camera Bag after this bag and it has been fantastic for my needs. It was much easier to travel with and enough room to carry what I needed.Honest reviews on Lowepro Nova 3 AW Camera Bag -Black
Initially I was looking for a separate bag for my Nikon D40 and my Panasonic SDR-H18 video cam. I saw a Nova 2AW at the store and I thought it was good enough for both cameras to fit in. But then I have another zoom lens that I need to carry with me. The Nova 3AW is just perfect for my gears. I can fit those three with one more room to spare for another lens. It was really designed for bigger DSLR but I was able to secure the D40 just fine with the included dividers. It's got plenty of pockets too for extra batteries, chargers and cleaning accessories. There's also a room for my Elph. The two side pockets are also handy for my cellphone and pocket books or map. There's also a pocket in the back for other stuff. So basically, here's what I was able to fit in the bag:1 Nikon D40 w/ 55mm attached
1 compact video camera
1 200mm lens
1 digital compact camera
3 chargers and cables
3 spare batteries for each camera
The bag is also designed to be used as a waist belt bag but I thought it's a little big for this purpose. I also like the plastic lock in the front because I can secure the bag without closing the zipper for the cap-like cover. Overall, I am very satisfied with this bag and I highly recommend it to someone wanting to use it for their DSLR and video camera.
