The perfect day kit bag
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have been using Lowepro bags for a long time and I’m always amazed at the simplicity of the design. This bag is perfect as my daily grab-and-go bag for my Pentax K-7 kit. It’s weather-proof, just like my Pentax gear so I don’t have to worry about the occasional rain or snow shower. I keep my SLR with a prime lens in one side (actually laying on the side with the grip facing up for quick access) and have room on the other side for another lens and some filters. The strap is well made and is easy to adjust. The zippers are well made and zip easily open and closed. The bag has an overall well-made fit and finish and is a joy to use. The top handle is padded and very comfortable to hold for short periods or while moving the bag around. Like most other top-flap designed bags, the handle on the top isn’t very useful unless the bag is zippered and clasped closed. A short handle strap instead of a handle would have been a better choice for me, but I’m really nitpicking here.
The memory card pockets and zippered pocket on the inside face of the top cover are perfectly placed. There are a couple of elastic pockets on the outside of each end of the bag along with a zippered pocket on the back (probably only large enough for pamphlets or a map) as well as a compact zippered pocket on the front where I keep some smaller filters. If you have a compact DSLR and are looking for a compact bag to go along with it, I would highly recommend this bag. I can sling it over my shoulder and take it with me wherever I go and it hardly weighs anything. Highly recommended!
A great product!

This case was bought for my wife for her Canon 40D with 24-105mm lens. It fits perfectly. This a great product.
Well built and roomy camera bag
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Got this bag for a Canon SX10 IS. It easily holds the camera, spare batteries and charger, adapters, filters, SD cards, AV and usb cables, etc. It has a rain fly that pulls out of the bag to cover the bag when its raining. Actually it’s a little large for the SX10 IS. I would rather have a little extra space than not enough. Very happy with the Nova 160.
High Quality…Perfect!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I was trying to find the perfect camera bag for my new Olympus SP565uz and stumbled upon this product…am I ever glad I did! It’s light-weight, just big enough without looking like I’m pretending to be a professional photog, and until I become adept enough with my new camera to buy an add’l lense, the extra section can hold a bag of snacks! Velco strips enable you to block off just the right inside space to house your camera.
It has many pockets, so I can stash my credit card holder, passport and even my tiny-print camera manual. Pockets just for my extra X-D Picture cards, extra batteries, etc. On both sides, on the outside, are mesh pockets perfect for a couple small water bottles.
The feature that really sold me was the fold-over top, so there’s no chance rain can creap in through the zipper…it even has its own “raincoat” stashed in the front pocket. Kudos to whoever designed this!!
Just what I needed
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Couldn’t be happier with this bag. The photo in the Amazon add makes it appear green, but it’s really a very nice brown. anyway, it’s good quality, holds everything I need (I’m a video producer for the Air Force, but not a photographer, so I’m limited on what I need for my home photo needs). So this holds my K2000, extra lens, flash unit and all the little things I need for it — SDHD cards, spare batteries, etc. This bag won’t hold much more than that, but it holds this much very well. Haven’t used the weather-protection cover yet. My son recently purchased a Canon camera as well, and I recommended going with a Lowepro bag.
Perfect for what I wanted with the Canon Xsi
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This bag fits the Canon Rebel Xsi perfectly. I wanted a bag that was small enough to be truly portable and not look like I’m a photography nut. The bag snugly fits the camera with the the 18-200 lens attached and my kit lens (18-55mm) and my 50mm lens in the bag. I also store my SD cards, battery, charger, and some cables. That is it! If you want a bag that stores more then 3 lenses (one being attached) and the camera – then you have to go bigger.If you are like me and a minimilist who just wants a case that will carry the very basics – and is on the small side- this is the bag!
Great medium sized bag
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is great little bag with amazing room and compactness. Just finished a 7 day trip with it and it was the perfect size for all my stuff, but not too bulky. Lots of little pockets for cards, battery charger, USB cord, etc. The perfect bag for an amateur who has a nice camera but doesn’t want the bulk of too much stuff. Even was able to put it in my backpack so I could still take a carry on bag on the plane!
perfect for Canon Rebel XS & two lenses
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Purchased bag to carry Canon Rebel XS. Bag fits the camera, an attached 18-55mm lens, and a 75-300mm lens, along with some lens filters and a Canon Elph compact camera. Build quality is excellent, as is durability. Size is perfect for a day exploring on foot with your camera, and shoulder strap is wide and padded and doesn’t dig into your skin. Would recommend to a friend and would purchase again.
Lowepro Nova 160 AW Camera Bag
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Great Buy!
Has space for a D-SLR [like the D90], a 18-200 zoom, Flash [like the SB-600] AND a 50mm lens.
Build quality is good.
Negatives – Wish the base of the bag had a thicker / harder padding.
Conclusion:
Very good bag.
Make sure you know what will fit in. This is smaller than a full size pro kit bag and that is why I bought it. Very compact / portable.
Perfect for Canon Rebel XS with 3 lenses
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I use my bag told hold my Rebel XS as well as all my lenses and have no complaints so far. The lenses I keep in the bag are the Canon 55-250mm IS with hood reversed, the Canon 50mm f1.8, and the Canon 18-55mm IS. I can store all of them without feeling like I am cramming too much in, and can store the camera with any of the lenses attached to it. I had looked at the Nova 140, but it did not have enough space to hold the camera with the 55-250 attached, so it was out. This bag also has lots of pockets for all the goodies you need to carry, including USB cable, cards, filters, etc. This would not work for a full frame camera, but for a consumer SLR such as the Rebel XS, this fits the bill quite nicely.
