I would be lying if I said this bag wasn't extremely well made. I can't take that away from it. BUT, after just buying it an hour ago and setting it up for my Nikon D600 with attached Nikon 20-35 f2.8 I found the bags design to be inherently flawed. It seems apparent to me that the design was meant to hold a very small entry level dslr with a long lens. Not a larger bodied dslr with any sized lens. There are certain adjustable walls that are stitched into the fabric so they cannot be used any other way as far as I can tell at this point. The main middle divider can only be used in its original orientation and this seems to be just too big for me to comfortably use it for my setup. It puts just a little too much pressure between the cameras grip and the lens body for my liking. So instead I am FORCED to keep my camera in the top pocket and yank it out of there which isnt a big issue if you don't have a laptop in the back. I like most photographers, do keep a laptop on me at most shoots. My 13" Macbook Pro fits fine if not a little too small for the sleeve but thats not a big issue. What is the bigger issue is how the camera must grate past the corner of the laptop when being pulled in and out of the backpack. So all in all it seems to me like they spent all of 15 minutes testing this design out with one camera and decided to ship to consumer. I don't have some insane million dollar setup so I thought this bag would be perfect for me but after a brief use of it I think I may return it and buy something more suitable to my needs.
A comparative image with the bag and more pictures of interior could help a lot of users make better decision
