The one big disadvantage is that one tends to put too much in it. As (at the time) it was not possible to put other than a shoulder strap on it, I bought something smaller. Next, the (silverback model) Phototrekker I was once caught in a thunderstorm that soaked me comprehensively. It was so bad, I had to lend my girlfriend my photovest as her clothing had become completely transparent. Actually, she _insisted_ that I lend her the vest. The gear in the Nova was bone dry after about 20 minutes downpour. Quick access can have disadvantages. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

They are close in demensions, the Nova5 is less expensive, but the D400 has 'quick access'. Any thoughts or experiences? Those are both quite large and somewhat boxy bags ... I saw the D400AW at the shop and concluded that it was more than I needed or wanted. They didn't have the Nova 5 in stock so I couldn't do a direct comparison. They differ in their layout by a variety of subtleties. For me, I'd have to have both of them in front of me with the gear I wanted to carry to test in them before making a decision. (Had the same problem myself ... I'm looking for a larger working bag than what I have right now that will be suitable for a variety of my gear. I ended up ordering the Crumpler 6 and 7 Million Dollar Home models and the Lowepro Stealth Reporter D200 and D300 AW models, after confirming with the vendor that it would be all right to choose one of the four and return the other three. I expect them to arrive about April 9th. Right now, the Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Home is my front runner as it seems less boxy and just as spacious compared to the D300AW, but I reserve judgement for when it arrives... !)

Re: lowepro choice
Hello Frits, Only experience with the Nova 5. I am on my third one over the years. It is a good bag - especially for the price. It has enough room to hold quite a bit of gear, but isn't so unwieldy to carry. If the dimensions fit your needs, I can recommend it. -- Bruce Wednesday, April 4, 2007, 1:41:39 PM, you wrote: FW I am looking for a new bag, and after looking around, I narrowed my search FW down to the LowePro models Nova5 and Stealth Reporter D400AW.

Re: lowepro choice
I don't know how much gear you carrying, but I can get 2 MZS with grip or 1 K10, a 28, a 50, the 360 flash and either a 100 macro or a 28 to 105, plus other small bits of crap with I can never seem to get rid of in a 300AW Feroze Frits Wüthrich wrote: I am looking for a new bag, and after looking around, I narrowed my search down to the LowePro models Nova5 and Stealth Reporter D400AW.
