 No Design Flaw February 4, 2007

I can't comment on the other Nova bags, but the Nova 3 has a very rugged strap attachment. It's a metal D-ring and a metal clasp. Zoom in on the photo and you can see it. Overall, this bag is very well constructed and has lots of adjustable internal dividers to customize it for your equipment. It may be larger than you need for a small camera, but I think it's just the right size for my DSLR (Pentax K10D) plus battery charger, cables, and a short telephoto. There is still room for one or two additional lenses or an external flash. Overall, a good buy.
 Good but bulkier than I expected. January 11, 2007

Don't let the 4 star rating fool you. This is a really well-constructed camera bag with lots of room for storage, but may be too much for the amateur photographer that may not be carrying multiple lens and several catridges of 35 mmm film. I bought this for my wife to hold her Canon EOS XT and it does a dandy job of it but is really too bulky for traveling. It went with us to Hawaii but was too difficult to carry around when sightseeing and taking pictures (not to mention having it as a carry-on when flying). In it I was carry an extra battery, battery charger, several extra flash cards, and that's about it. I ended up getting a Lowepro Topload Zoom1 Camera Bag after this bag and it has been fantastic for my needs. It was much easier to travel with and enough room to carry what I needed.
Just the right size for a mid-sized setup December 12, 2007

Looking for a small bag for your SLR? Well I'd suggest a Nova 1 bag instead, as this will be too much for your uses.
Looking for a large bag for two or more SLRs? Well this bag is too small.
If you however have a SLR, 2-3 lenses and a flash, it's just right. I carry my Nikon D70s (with a battery grip attached), 18-70, 70-300VR, and 50mm lenses as well as a SB600 flash in this bag. Any of the three lenses can be attached, and the other two can go along for the ride. The flash cannot fit attached to the camera, but it fits when you disconnect it. I even can throw in the AC adapter, extra batteries, extra compact flash cards, and a memory reader. All of this fits with the top securely zipped shut. The whole setup is a rather large and heavy affair, but it works well as a carry on. It seals well, so it's very weatherproof as is, but there is a raincoat thats stowed in the bottom that covers it even better (I don't think I want to be in a rainstorm that necessitates that). The one thing that can be an issue is that this bag is too much if you're just taking a camera and one lens. I still have a Nova 1, which serves this function well, and the dividers that came with the Nova 1 came in handy, as this bags allotment was sufficient for most uses, but not mine.
Lowepro Nova 3 AW Camera Bag Review July 8, 2006

Very nice bag. Holds my Canon EOS Rebel, 70-200 mm and 28-75 mm leneses. 3 Lenses filters, charger. It's a hair bigger than I would like but to hold all my items I needed this size. Very well constructed and has ample padding.
 serious design flaw November 19, 2006

I have the Nova 2 which is identical to this but smaller. The bag itself is okay. I can fit an SLR body plus 3 lenses and small accessories. It is not waterproof but it comes with a plastic cover which can be used to keep rain out. However, none of that matters when there is a seriously weak link. During my first trip with this bag, the clasp that connects the bag to the shoulder strap came undone twice within 3 days, dropping the bag to the ground and damaging some of my lenses. I examined the strap to see what the problem was and apparently it is a design flaw rather than a defect. The 2 clasps at the end of the strap that connect it to the bag are narrow and made of plastic. They can easily be twisted out of alignment, making an opening through which the connecting rings on the bag can fall through. I did not overload the bag, abuse it or misuse it, yet it failed to do what it is supposed to do: carry my camera equipment safely. I had never dropped any of my photo equipment prior to this. I sent an email to Lowepro's customer service department, calmly explaining what happened and requesting that some sort of compensation be made for damage caused by the faulty design of their product, but they simply ignored my letter.
I would not recommend this bag or any Lowepro bag to anyone who value their cameras.
