I got this bag yesterday :D It is a little larger than my Delsey bag but a lot smaller than my big camera (plus laptop) bag that is not anymore allowed in airplane because of the new size requirement.
It can accept easily two SLR bodies (with small lenses attached) and probably two 70-200mm lenses f4/f2.8. I will have to test :)

The Delsey was fine but it started to get damaged on the edges.
I will post photos of the bags later.

It is the green one. It looked nicer than the black bag.

The small Delsey is at the left, the Lowepro Trekker 200 in the middle and the Lowepro CompuTrekker AW (http://www.lowepro.com/Products/Backpacks/notebook_camera/CompuTrekker_AW.aspx) at the right.

It is a small bag easy to carry but you can still put a lot of stuff in it as you can see below:

There are 2 SLR bodies (Canon 350D & Nikon D70) with their lenses attached (a Canon 50mm & a Nikon 18-70 with its hood), a Sigma 70-200 f2.8 (left), a Sigma 17-70 (right, bottom), a Sigma 10-20 (right, middle) and a Sigma 18-200 (right, top). So 6 lenses in all :D

There is a main pocket where you can put a book or sandwich etc. A very small laptop would fit in.

There are two pockets on the side. They aren't big. You can use it for putting some batteries, a cellphone... but beware of pickpockets ;)

It has straps for attaching a tripod too.
The price was about £52. I think it is a good value for money.
I also believe it is small enough to fit under the seat in an airplane. I will find out about it in a month.
