This bag has been a super purchase, especially for the price. Since buying it, I've upgraded most of my equipment. It's now carrying a Canon 1d, 75-300, 20-35, 28-135, 50mm lenses, extra battery, 550ex flash, plus filters, extra cf cards, remote, and manuals. It's a tight fit but works. I've had it all over the US, usually to airshows or museums. It's heavy and the shoulder straps are marginal but I can't complain for what I gave for the bag. The side pouches are very useful but you can't have everything. It's a great starter/intermediate bag. I'm planning on upgrading, would buy another Canon if they made a larger size.
Strengths:
For the price it can't be beat. Carrys a ton of gear. Sturdy material.
Weaknesses:
Pockets on side aren't very useful. Straps aren't comfortable with a lot of gear in bag.
It's a great bag. Worths every penny if you have lots of camera equipments to carry. Right now, I'm carrying my Elan 7e, 300D, 70-200mm f/4L, 17-40 f/4L, 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS, 50mm f/1.8, 420EX flash, 3 hood rings, some filters, films, lens cleaning kit, notebook, compact flash reader and extra batteries. All these make for one heavy bag, but it handles it just fine!
Strengths:
Lots of room!
Nice looking
Comfortable
Very reasonably price
Weaknesses:
The handle seems a bit fragile to me. I have seen backpack handles like this breaking before.
Bought this bag for Canon Digital Rebel and 3 lens + accessories. Fits all of them plus some extra room for additional future lens purchase. Highly recommend it after trying a LowePro MicroTrekker 100/200 w/c was too small for my purposes. The LP MiniTrekker AW or Classic is about this size but this is only 50 bucks with almos the same features.
Strengths:
*Price
*Good size, not too small or big.
*Quality is fairly decent. Not at LowePro level though.
*Looks good although Canon name may be a thief magnet.
*Lots of storage pockets plus waterproof material.
Weaknesses:
*Can be higher quality or the same as LowePro bags but that will drive the price up.

Strengths:
It is comfortable and has plenty of space for everything.
