Pros:	The right size
Cons:	a bit overpriced

I have been using this shoulder bag for the last month and I'm happy so far.

Pros:

-It does not look like a camera bag at all
-It is stylish and nobody knows my gear is in
-Perfect size for my 5D with grip plus 24-70 L and 70-200 2.8
-It is very quick to take the camera from it
-It feels light even when full
-Materials look and feel resistant
-Rain cover is also handy to use
-Antistatic clothe to cover your camera screen is provided
-It keeps the gear well packed and it does not move at all
-Love the sepia finish of it
-Comes with a Flash card wallet
-Extra compartment can fit a Netbook up to 10 or 11"

Cons
-Maybe it is a bit overpriced at almost 90 euros
-The strap could be slightly wider to make it feel even lighter
-More colors would be nice

Overall I give it a 9 an I would give it a 10 if the strap would be wider and if its price would go for about 50 to 60 euros. Great little bag for Urban trips and for little assignments.
