On a photoshoot today my lowepro got run over. The wheel of the car went straight over the bag which had all my kit in. No damage to anything inside. I think that says it all...
Incredible advert. Got the Nova 5, but wanting the Stealth 650 now for the extra size.

But to be serious, it's just a Gold coloured cloth. Bargain of the year 
No votes yet for the old [url]Billingham|www.billingham.co.uk/home.asp[/url] series of bags and kit?
My kit goes in a 550 or a Hadley.
I find it a really useful all-rounder and (as I said to the man selling Crumpler at FoI) I don't think they'll ever wear out!
Also useful is that the 550 goes on planes as hand luggage with books and water bottles and tickets and passport as well...

Yep - two votes here, one for Lowepro and another for Billingham Both are great, and I prefer the Lowpro for their backpacks, and Billingham for their shoulder bags. I've got several of each, for various different purposes and they're all great.
The Billinghams are also good in that they don't shout out "expensive camera gear in here!".
Either Lowepro or Billingham - both incredibly well made kit that will last and last and last. I have both but on the whole though I prefer my Lowepro stuff.
If you've got to get all the kit in then I have found the Minitrekker is good. Otherwise I use one of the over the shoulder bags from teh Street & Field range. This has stood up to a lot of bad treatment and has the advantage of having an inbuilt shower proof cover which comes in very handy in the field sometimes.
The only disadvantage with the one I have is no inbuilt tripod carrying straps, but that is easily rectified

I've got a Lowepro Nova2 AW. The "AW" bit came in handy last week in london when it rained almost non stop! The bag and kit was certainly much more dry than I was!
It will fit the camera and kit lens, and at least one other lens, (I carry another also)
It's a shoulder bag but I found it fine carrying it non stop for three days, however I can see the appeal of a rucksack bag.

Yup, Lowepro Nova2 AW here too - fantastic bit of kit and not too pricey.
I used a huge Lowepro jobbie for years and despite being bashed around all over the world (and parts of Sussex), it still looks good with minimal sighs of wear (its size just got silly after a while).
