It is a great bag. Fits my Canon 50D and an additional lens. It also has a great water resistant plastic bag that you can wrap around it when it is raining, which is very useful.

Comments about Lowepro Nova 160 AW Shoulder Bag (Bordeaux Red with Black Trim):
Received this bag as a birthday gift a few weeks ago. It does everything it's supposed to. Plenty of room for equipment (camera with lens, extra lens, flash unit), adjustable dividers to keeps things secure, lots of pockets for little gizmos and extras, two dedicated memory-card pockets, nice secure-feeling setup. The strap adjusts to sufficient length that I can wear it cross-shoulder, so I can just swing it out of the way behind me to shoot, and swing it back in front of my hip to access the contents. Oh, yeah...it's plenty comfortable, too!
A pro would want a bigger bag with more bells and whistles, but I shoot with one camera at a time and a couple of lenses, so it's perfect for my needs.
I'll be putting it to the travel test in a few more weeks. Also haven't had to use the rainfly yet, but just playing around with it shows that it goes on very easily and quickly. All in all, I'm quite happy with this bag.
