Perfect as a day bag for trips, or small on-the-go jobs.
The main section of the bag is deep enough to allow for a camera with battery grip attached to fit inside (my 5DmkIV fits in with relative ease, so I imagine most other Canon models will). As well as the camera body, you can comfortably get an L 24-70mm and an L 70-200mm in the main section. I think Lowepro say you can get another lens in, maybe a small-ish prime, but you'd struggle to get any wide ended zoom lenses in after the two previously mentioned lenses were packed. That still leaves plenty of slimmer spaces though for card cases, filters, chargers, etc, making it perfect as a day bag, or holidaying.
Annoyingly, you CAN'T have the camera attached to an L 24-70mm and have an L 70-200mm in the main section of the bag, they don't fit. So you have to have the 70-200mm on if you want to keep other zoom lenses in the main section, you can obviously just switch lenses when you start shooting, but see below for other potential solution.
The top section of the bag is big enough to fit most other accessories in. If you're keen to take multiple zoom lenses and can't get them all in the main part of the bag, you can easily fit the 70-200mm in its case inside the top section of the bag and still have a decent amount of space for other bits. There are also plenty of pockets inside this section of the bag too - one netted, the others full material - as well as a little plastic clip tethered to the inside of the bag.
As for the outside of the bag, there is a good sized netted pocket on the side with a draw-string top and a couple of extra external pockets across the bag. Contrary to some of the other reviews though, my model (March 2017) has waist straps too, which is nice when you've got a full bag!
Now for the complaints:
The zips aren't waterproofed AT ALL which I did find pretty disappointing for the price and the given quality of the rest of the bag.
There isn't a built-in waterproof cover, which isn't the end of the world as the medium Trespass rain cover fits the bag, but would have been a nice addition.
And there isn't anywhere is clip or hold a tripod, which again not essential, but would have been handy.
Overall, a few minor gripes but it's a perfect small bag and well worth the money.
