I bought this bag about five or six weeks ago, as I was looking for something a bit bigger than what I was using, that being a cheap and chearfull Kodak bag from argos which was ok but I've now out grown that one.
My bag coming in black with the standard Lowepro light grey interior but is also avaliable in the following colours Forrest Green/Black Gray/Black and Navy Blue/Black
Specifications
Size (Interior): 14W x 6D x 8.5H in. / 35.5 x 15 x 21.5 cm
Capacity: 2 SLRs with attached lenses, 4–5 more lenses and accessories
Outer fabric: water-resistant 600D TXP™ and 600D TXP™ ripstop
Curved shoulder strap pad for extra comfort for those long days.
Rubberised carrying handle for those short trips to the car!
Two end cargo netting styled pockets for drinks bottles or other nik naks or lens cleaning kit and brush. A rear zip pocket can also been found between the two belt loops.
Having used this bag on serveral trips to the coast and now to Brands Hatch can say that this was a very good buy as I'm able to carry my camera with the battery pack fitted, flashgun, serveral screw on filters, four lenses one being my favoured lens that being the 70-200 which fits snuggly in one corner, yet another zip pocket can be found on the underside of the bag cover which is ideal for my larger Cokin filters. The front pocket unzips about half way allowing for access while on the move, within this pocket you'll find another zip pocket plus a smaller row of mini cargo netting styled pockets ideal for memory cards and spare batteries. There's another zip pocket on the front of the half flap cover this is ideal for tickets and any other quick access requirements that you may have. Also at the front below the front pocket you'll find yet another zip within this pocket you will find the all weather cover which pulls out and fitts snuggly over the top giving the bag some protection from the rain!!
You're supplied with plenty of internal Velcro dividers with which you setup in almost any configuration that suits your style and carrying needs.
As you can see this bag has had a lot of thought put into it, as there being pockets and pouches all other it, in some ways it's like Doctor Whos TARDIS small on the outside massive on the inside, with the padded shoulder strap even with all my gear in it and walking around all day I find to be very comfortable. If you're in the market for a new bag then my I suggest that you put this on your list of bags for consideration.

After all the wear my chepo camera bag bit the dust i needed a new one, reading rewiews ect done my head in from the choice you had,all i wanted was a descent bag & value for money.Lowepro Nova 5 came tops & what a choice, a lot of time & effort has went into this bag.
Shoulder bag, water resistant,AW cover,overlap zipper,no drop pocket,belt & buckle holder [added accessorie]. interior 14in W/6in D/8.5in H. choise of colors- black,forest green/black,gray/black,navy blue/black
Interior-1-2 SLR cameras,4-5 lenses accessories ect........ change outlay,very well padded.
No drop pocket-1 zipped compartment,3 mesh pockets,1 large pocket & 3 small pockets.
Overlap zipper-1 zipped pocket [large].
Side pockets-2 mesh pockets.
Back of bag-1 large security pocket & belt & buckle holder [attachment added extra]
Bottom of bag-AW cover
Padded shoulder strap,carry handle & belt/buckle holder.
If you are thinking about buying a bag i would seriously think about the Nova 5,its very well made & easy to carry,compact on the outside but loads of room inside,waterproof & also AW cover. A brilliant bag well priced thats just as good as if not better than a more expensive bag,ideal photographer bag.
