My latest purchase, replacing KATA DC-445 by all means.

The new Nova 200 AW is the Nova 5 AW successor, although it has the same number and type of velcro dividers, it is slightly bigger in size than 5 AW.

The main improvements in 200 AW are (as compared to 5 AW):
- the 360 degree rainproof cover,
- reinforced handle,
- side pockets increased in capacity, no nets unlike in 5 AW.

This is the biggest Lowepro bag in this series, and still at a reasonable price, that many amateur photographers can afford.

Buying this bag felt like a great comeback to Nova series. And I think I will stick to Lowepro in the future :)
Mind you, the DC-445 by KATA was one of the best bags I've ever had, but for two camera bodies was just too small - thus the change.

Update:
Updated by 2nd hand EOS 20D.
I wonder if I could still fit a battery grip with this one - seems like there's some space, but the grip will cover up the accessories underneath, thus limiting access to them.
Dividers have been swapped around. Seems more comfortable to have the 40D on the right (left when looking from 1st person perspective) thus at hand.
