Like the other reviewer here, I too expected the bag to be slightly bigger than it actually was, but it is very flexible to use and you can fit a surprising amount of gear into it.
I have two camera bodies EOS 40D & an EOS 50D, not the smallest EOS cameras by a long way, and four lenses, a 10-22mm wide angle, a 17-85mm, a 60mm macro and a 70-300mm tele-zoom, plus a few acessories, which all fit quite easily into it, with room for another lens should I need it.
The bag is well made from strong water resistant material and is well padded giving good protection for your equipment, the zips are strong and don’t stick, and the clips that hold the top flap down are made of a strong metal.
Inside there are padded dividers which can be moved around a little but are not infinately adjustable, but what makes them more flexible is that each divider is made from a seperate piece joined together with velcro. and these individual pieces can be removed altogether giving you larger compartments, allowing you to fit a wider veriety of equipment into it, it just takes a little time to experiment with it until you have found the best configuration for all your gear.
There are two front and two side pockets, with plenty of room to store batteries, filters, remotes, cables, CF cards, etc.
There is a strong handle on the top and a wide strap which has a curved padded section on it making it comfortable to carry even when you have a lot of heavy gear in it.
In conclusion, this an excellent bag for up to two camera bodies and five lenses, or a couple more lenses if you have one camera body, it is well made and easy to use, and with the removable dividers you can adapt it to fit a wide veriety of equipment into it.
If you have some very long super telephoto L series lenses, then you would be better off with a larger and deeper bag than this one, but for the average user it is ideal.
Recommended.

I’m a professional photographer covering weddings, portraits and landscapes so I have a lot of gear. This includes two camera bodies and 6 lenses. To carry all this gear requires a huge Lowepro Vertex 200 rucksack. It’s heavy, bulky and not very elegant at a wedding.
To solve the problem I invested in Canon’s biggest gadget bag after trying out the opposition.
Sure, it doesn’t hold all my gear but it does hold one body (with vertical grip attached), all my “wedding lenses” and a flash gun plus all the bits and bobs I need. What I particularly like is the fact that its dimensions are just right for the bulky 40D body/grip combo where other bags are either too small or too big. There’s an embarrassing number of dividers – several are in a bag at home in case I ever need them. I just wish the two front pockets had been combined into one big one.

The quality, feel and touch of this bag is EXELLENT, however, BEWARE the bag does NOT hold as much as is stated in the discription????? unless of cause you have all small lenses and one body, no cleaning gear, lens hoods, flash gun etc etc. If you like to keep a lens attached to the camera body, on the ready, configuring the divider panels is also an issue as they are specificaly designed to fit one way!!!!!

Fits two 300D bodies, a 40D body, 5 lenses – and all with a touch of class – a bargain
