Default Lowepro 300 Flipside

Can someone guide me on the usefulness of Lowepro 300 flipside.

I have Canon 60D and 3 lenses and some other accersories and want to know if 300 flipside is good enough for using with what I have.

Thanks

Nimir

Lowepro's website is excellent and will give you a fairly clear idea of what the bag will hold. Their bag selection tool (main page, left side) is also excellent and will choose a bag based on what you want to put in it.

I have one and find it very good, you can see by my signature below what gear I have and I can carry it comfortably in the bag.
The waist strap is also useful for changing lenses in the field once you get to trust that it won't simply drop off, beware of doing that with a tripod attached as it could cause a painful accident.

Look at ThinkTank bags, I just switched from lowpro to a ThinkTank streetwalker pro, my zipper ripped out on my lowpro and my 5D with a 70-200 nearly hit the ground, thinktank has a much better and bigger zipper.

Thinktank and Lowepro use the same YKK zippers. ANd Lowepro have a lifetime warranty. Hard to beat, really.

Odd, that. The only different zippers that I know Lowepro uses are the weather sealed ones, and they're not that much different.

The zipper on the main compartment on the thinktank that holds camera and lenses is a much larger zipper, the other zippers on the other pockets are the same size as lowepro, they are both good bags, first time I have switched, I have 3 lowepros.
