Space for the camera, manual, extra batteries and all cords you need to download photos off the camera. This bag is big enough for a small SLR or an SLR-like point-n-shoot. It seems to be well made and has a nice feature that allows you to protect the bag with a waterproof cover that stores inside one of the pockets. Pretty cool. It also has a nice loop on the back of it that would allow you to put it on your belt. I've used it in combination with the shoulder strap, and the combo makes the bag very secure and comfortable to wear, even if you have to jog a bit to get to the best location for a shot.

This is the 2nd Lowepro Nova 3 AW I have purchased in the last 3 years. Bag # 1 has held-up very well inspite of considerable traveling and outdoor use. I now use it for a Canon Rebel with additional lens. Most impressive is the easy access flip cover which does not need to be clasped to secure the contents and allows quick access and reach when the camera needs to be removed for use. For more security the zipper and clasp provide complete protection (particularly when stored under a plane seat or in an upright compartment).
Also impressive is the deceiving amount of space in the inner compartment as well as the various side pockets. I am able to store my Canon 5D Mark ll with 24-105mm lens attached, along with a Canon 430 EX ll Speedlite flash and a 70-200mm L lens. The Nova 3 AW is a very versatile and compact bag but big enough for large-size SLRs. Try the Nova 2 AW if your camera is smaller (such as the Canon Rebel or Canon G10) and you need extra room for a flash or extra lens but still need room for keys, wallet or an iPod. You won't be disappointed with either bag. For the price these bags are worth every penny.

I bought this camera bag to hold my Canon SX10 IS & accessories. I find the bag to be too large. I bought the bag based on the reviews, but should have been more careful about 2 things:

1) Check the product dimensions. This bag is pretty bulky in my opinion. I wanted to carry the camera and a change of batteries. If you are looking to hold all of your accessories also, this will be a good fit for you.
2) Check the return policy of the shipper. I bought this from seller DBRoth and it turns out they charge a 10% restocking fee on returns, so I'll be keeping this bag instead of finding a smaller bag from them.

The good thing about this bag is that it is well padded and will protect the camera. There is also more than ample room (I don't have an extra flash or extra lenses though). It seems to be well constructed.

I just don't like the boxy shape and size of the bag. It seems like overkill for me. I use the camera to shoot wildlife and I'd prefer something smaller that would fit only the camera and 4 spare batteries. This one is kind of bulky to carry in the woods. It would be ideal for airport travel.

Anyways, depending on your use, this could be for you. It wasn't right for me, but I might as well keep it rather than pay the restocking fee. Will be looking for a smaller bag from a different seller.
