I think that the Lowepro Nova 140 AW/or the Nova 180 would work just fine. If you carry one std attached lense and one tele, then you would extra room for Ipods/ phones, etc. The downside is that it screams "there's a nice camera" in here! because it is a very nice camera case. Lowepro has always made great cases. There's go to be something that will fit your needs. Good Luck. Lowepro Nova 140 AW DSLR Camera Shoulder Bag

For anyone else who may wonder, Maxpedition gives very specific measurements for each pocket on their website (under the "Specifications" tab). According to the website, the main compartment is 5.5"(L) x 3"(W) x 7"(H).http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/FATBOY-VERSIPACK-40p31.htm

Not snug. A telephoto will fit. I added a strap to hold two spare batteries for my T4i. It's not GROSS overspace.

I have used mine for several hours loaded with a DSLR, spare lens & flash with no issues or discomfort.Depending on your definition of "kid gear" you may want to upsize since this is a fairly compact bag.

Wow, great question. I do not see how, there is no fixed anchor point anywhere to keep it in position. However I would note, there is a sling lock at the camera low point to keep it from extending over the strap length. The camera weight is in the wrong position, its up on your back. Pedaling a road bike with the lower front handle bar begs the camera to swing down. Maybe a back pack would be safest. Check out Think Tank.

Go to the B&H Photo site - http://www.bhphotovideo.com - and ask them this question. They have a wonderful help feature. That's what I did, and I bought the case on Amazon. I only use it for a small flash attachment, so I can't answer anything about a camera. But, it does have all the "compartments" inside and still remains roomy for its size ... so the dimensions listed on the Amazon site will not refer to extra outside pockets. This holder has some nice additional features & is very sturdy.

Yes, I have a Cannon XSI and it holds it great. I recommend getting a quick release strap cause my stock one was getting in the way.

I tried it. In my bag is a Nikon D40 SLR with its regular lens on, the telephoto lens, my flash, the battery charger and a mini-tripod. In the outside pockets I have a tissue pack, a protein bar, and a water bottle. I can easily add a mini-ipad. I can also snugly fit a regular ipad. The place that I put the ipad does not any extra padding (there is extra padding where the SLR and telephoto lens are placed). With either the mini or regular ipad in the bag and everything else I listed, you're pretty much at full capacity.

The best thing that I can recommend is to take it to a store (best buy or a camera shop) and try it out. I have purchased camera bags on recommendation and never been satisfied, but just bringing to the store I got the perfect bag for me.

My first SLR I did buy a bag. Then when I got my D20 I decided that I didn't need to lug all my accessories around with me. I would refer to H. Stevens comments for solutions. What I use now for my Canon is a well made cushioned backpack.

i agree that you could possibly rig it with a carabiner. i have used this bag for the past 10 months while shooting overseas. note that it's small. my rebel t2i fills almost the whole main compartment. the one pocket in front holds extra battery and such. not much room for anything else. good bag if you don't need extra space.

I just looked at you brand of camera.It looks like yours is Slimmer than mine.I probably wouldn't get this case bc you don't wantthe camera to be moving all over the placein the case. You want it to be still.Mine fit nice and Snug in the case.You should google carrying cases for your right type of camera so you can get the correct thing.

I have this camera and love it. It depends on what u are using it for I would recommend a tipod at thr least. And maybe a secondary battery. And definitly a camera case. The amazon basic slr case is great for this camera

Get a larger pack. I haven't tried a DSLR, but I carry an ARC planner and a Chromebook and those take up most of the main compartment. The other pouches are great, but to pack a DSLR with lens and accessories, it would be awkward and clunky. Just my opinion.

mac does not fit sadly, even if emptied. it's a small bag length/width wise. it does hold a good bit of camera stuff though. right now i have two dslr bodies, 3 large lenses and extra batteries, battery charger/cables, a big filter/polarizer kit, cleaning stuff and a ton of other little things in it. an ipad with a thin case/cover will slide into the back and be ok so long as it isn't overstuffed.

Hi, I have totally loved my canon bag - I have 2 bags , one that is a rucksack and can hold my laptop/books etc and this one. Since I have had this one I hardly use my other one ! A good buy I would say. Hope this helps.

I wish that I had read your post a few days ago... I have a Sony A350 and guess what my Husband acquired for me. A Minolta md mount. whoops. Luckily, it was only a few pounds on ebay but is there any way I can fit this to my camera?

BTW be careful not to get too excited about the BIG DEAL. Are you the kind that want to tote around a huge bag full of lenses and change them a lot? Then great.However, I have come to realize that I am just a one-lens-kind-of-girl and if you are too (guy?) then find a really good one with great range. I love my 18-135mm STM (silent for video) and then you just need a UV filter and a small holster camera bag - both cheap to add later. All the extras are not name brand anyway and you can get the cheaply separately later and jsut get what you really actually need.So before you jump for the big deal, envision what you really want to do with the camera and what kind of photographer you really are.
