Comments about Lowepro Lowepro Rezo 160 AW Digital SLR / Video Bag:
I bought this bag because I got the Canon Rebel XSi SLR camera. It was a little awkward trying to figure out how to put the camera in. Other than that it is light weight and easy to carry.

Comments about Lowepro Lowepro Rezo 160 AW Digital SLR / Video Bag:
This bag fills up pretty precisely with my D40, kit lens, 55-200VR, and 50 F/1.8. It got a little tight when I traded out the kit lens for a Nikkor 18-70. I've had it out in light rain and snow and for short hikes. Overall it's a good bag, and I would definitely recommend it, but it's not perfect.
Pros:
- Good padding...inspires confidence
- Is holding up well so far (a little over a year)
- Adjustable dividers
- Plenty of adjustment in the shoulder strap
- Good weather protection. I don't use it in severe weather and have never tried the cover, but it keeps the gear dry during short exposures to light rain. I may add some Scotchguard for extra protection.
Cons:
- Awkward to access. There's a flap secured by a clip that looks like the main compartment. It's really just a glorified cover over the zippered side compartment (space for two filters, my wireless remote, and two memory cards). The real access is a zipper that is a little difficult to operate one-handed, but does offer good protection from mist and dust.
- The bottom isn't flat. It's angled slightly, so the bag tends to tip over forward when you set it down.
- The memory card slot in the main compartment cuts into gear room. With the 55-200 attached, the lid closes a little tight, and the extra 3/16" of an SD card case doesn't help any, hence why I keep mine in the side pocket.
Bottom line:
A good bag. Worth the price, despite several minor annoyances.
