Just got this today, and interesting, it was pouring rain when I went to an awards dinner I needed to photograph. Love that All-Weather cover!
I don't carry a laptop with me along with my camera gear and I wanted a somewhat compact bag, but one I could take pretty much whatever I need in. I spotted the 200 AW at a Ritz store in the local mall and it was only $49, so I snapped it up.
I moved the center dividers to center the lens of my DR-XT to make it easier to get out of the top zip slot. This left two little compartments in the center front and back to put my extra battery and charger, and the lens and body cap from the EF-S 17-85 mounted on the camera. There are 4 pockets, two on either side, left. I put the BE-G3 grip and the 6-AA sled in one, my 35mm lens in another and I still have room left for the 580EX I'm going to get and another lens. I put the camera manual and some lens tissue, a notepad and pen in the front pocket. Eventually, I may end up with a separate lens case that will slip onto a side loop, but I really like the handy size of the 200 AW.
If you have a larger camera than the DR-XT, you might go for the 300 which is an inch wider, but for those of you who like to go pretty compact but take most of your gear with you, the Stealth Reporter 200 AW is a winner, in my book! See the product shots and specs here:
