their web site is pretty informative: http://www.lowepro.com/pages/series/trekking/minitrk.htm
anyway, the main compartment is holding my 10D, 550EX, 50/1.4, 28-135, 17-40/L, lens hood, and there's still room for another lens (or two). the pocket on the outside is spacious. i put a pair of 10x50 binoculars, a compass, and a bunch of other little things in there.
is this ideal for long journeys? probably not for everyone. the bag is 2.8 lbs alone, though with all that i mentioned, i spent a few hours in the woods with it and didn't notice major fatigue. that's probably because of the strap that goes across the chest and another across the stomach area. it felt like a small child was hugging me :)
i think i read that some tall people didn't like the placement of the front straps, but at 5'10 it was fine for me. there's also allegedly a tripod holder, but i haven't used it yet.
ultimately, i wanted a bag i could grow with, and get onto airplanes with, and for me this is it. i may add a waist bag at some point (offtrail2 maybe, saw a lot of people recommending it).
g'luck.

that work fine for those times. I'm looking for a bag to carry my stuff in when my wife and I spend a week or two in South Dakota or Colorado or somewhere else. We generally drive, but sometimes fly. I'm not interested in something with wheels and a long handle, just something I can sling over my shoulder on the way up to the hotel room. I haven't come across a trip yet that I needed to carry more than three or four lenses, one camera and one flash, so I'm looking for something in that size. The problem is that the 17-40, 28-70, 70-200 and 100-400 all have BIG hoods that need to fit in there, too. Too bad the hoods aren't all as compact as the Canon 300 f/4. And it would be nice if it had some straps for my monopod as well, if I take a tripod it has its' own case.
So, what do I get?
