Pros:	Solid build, removable inside compartment (very handy if the person at an airport check in desk tells you your bag is too big!), mesh covering to stop your gear falling out, and laptop space. Space in front to hold a small tripod or monopod across the fac
Cons:	Not easy to access gear at all, and the space is deceptively small.

Decent bag, but one if it's strenghts (the fact that the zip to the main compartment is behind the straps for security), is also it's main weakness as it's not easy to get to gear. Also, space inside is smaller than it appears from the outside. I also have a 350D, Sigma 10-20, and Canon 17-85, and none of these will fit in comfortably.
