High Quality Bag, January 31, 2006
I was looking for a small bag that I could use on day trips or hikes. I did not want a huge bag to keep all my lenses and accessories. This is perfect for my needs. I have a Konica Minolta 5D with a 28-75 f2.8 lens attached, along with a 18-70 and a 70-210. I can fit the camera, lenses, my battery charger, and various cables. The lenses fit with their hoods on backwards. There are a couple of small pouches to keep extra battery and cards. Two features I really like: 1) the micro fiber cloth that lies across the camera's lcd to protect it from scratches and 2) the top of the bag opens from the back for quick access to the camera.
Small enough to carry all day, big enough to fit the essentials needed for a great day of shooting.

I used this with my Nikon D80, March 30, 2009
I bought the smaller 160AW, but it can't fit all my gear. So I bought the 170AW as well.
It is about 2" taller, otherwise it's exactly the same bag as the 160AW. I was able to fit the following items in the 170 AW.
- D80 Body with 18-55mm lens attached (I can also fit it with my 55-200 lens attached, but it's real snug)
- 55-200mm lens with hood removed and slide on the lens body reversed.
- SB 600 speedflah fully extended
- battery charger with electrical cord
- AV cable and remote
With that said, I still have enough room for another battery and a few more accesories.
With the 160AW bag, i could only fit the body with either lens attached and the speed flash.
To sum it up, I wanted a bag that wasn't too wide like the Nikon Bag, but rather, tall and thin so I could use the shoulder strap around my body. I can easily walk around with this attached to my body and it's out of my way as i can push it towards my back. It work's great and pulling out the camera with the reveresd flap makes it a breeze. the bag itself has more features, but you can read about that from the other reviews : )
PS, the Nikon D40, D70 and D90 are all simular in size, so I would think you would find the same results.

Great!, January 17, 2008
This is a fantastic bag by lowepro. It's a blend of high-capacity and quick access holster styles. I can easily fit my D70s with 18-200mm telephoto (attached) and my SB-800 flash into the bag.
I at first thought the front flap was useless, but it actually exists to provide more waterproof coverage to the bag. When you deploy the All-weather (it's stowed in a velcro compartment at the bottom of the bag), it wraps around the bottom, up the sides, and over the top of the bag to provide water protection. Try it yourself. You'll find that the front flap provides protection where the All-weather cannot reach. Together the All-weather and front flap give 80% protection from the elements.
I think the All-weather sheath is a bit unnecessary. Lowepro should have invested a little more money into the bag and made it with waterproof materials rather than including the All-weather sheath.
Also, the strap the camera comes with is a bit squeaky. Luckily it can be detached and replaced with any other strap you own. Otherwise, the squeakiness would have driven me insane!
I still love this bag.
