I loved the camera and the lens. I love the price as well. I will definitely recommend Adorama to all my friends

Fantastic product

it is a good bag to store your camera and gear, or for transporting your camera around, it fits my canon 50D with 24-105mm lens attached very nice,and has free room for 2 more lenses and eternal flash, very well padded, strong construction, comfortable to carry around with the shoulder strap, the only problem that you may find, is that the access to the camera is not very practical or fast, not a problem for me but you may want to consider that

a good bag

This bag looks great in spec.  I even went to look at it in a store before purchasing.  It seemed good to handle initially, but after using it I have found it be a bit difficult.  Part of the problem is me, I like to travel very light.  I will normally only carry one SLR with Lens (D90 + 18-200).  If I need more stuff, I probably only bring a 35mm f2 and an SB-600 or SB-400.  This bag is the right size for that, SLR in the middle with the attached zoom pointed down, prime lens on one side and flash (folded if SB-600/800) on the other side.

The good:  Very well padded, probably overkill.  If I used this bag for travel, rain cover would be great.  It's a bit bulky for me, so I don't use it for travel.  Holds all the gear I need.

The bad:  

-The reverse opening top seems to be nice in theory, but in practice it just sort of flaps around.  I have to zip it back 50% of the way after taking the camera out to keep it closed.  A traditional opening with a longer flap works out better, because when you drop the flap it would stay closed.  
-The bag is overly padded, so it's bulky.  If you take the rain cover out and fold it back, it's hard to get it flat which adds to bulk (but easy to use rain cover system).  
-The front pocket is not very useful, as it is covered by a flap AND has a zipper.  It is flexible so it can hold a bit more than it looks, but adds to the bulk this way. The front is not really big enough for personal items.  It would better if it was zipper or flap, but not both.  You can't use this pocket for anything you to which you may want quick access.  The middle of the pocket flap is also covered with some sort of suede like material, which attracts dirt.  I would prefer this be nylon like the rest of the bag.  
-The side pocket is tiny, you can't put much in here...and once you stretch it out, it never goes 100% back.  I would much prefer a mesh water bottle here.  A small pocket like this on the other side of the bag would be nice too.
-Belt loops are too small to be useful, plus this pack is too big for that.  It does not compress at all when you take gear out (again, padding).
-Should strap pad creaks when you wear it.  It also slides all over the strap, making it rarely on your shoulder, or at least requiring regular adjustment.  
-Looks like a camera bag, especially with the suede.  
-Top handle is dangerous, if the bag is not zipped and you grab it, you will probably dump your gear.   This should be deleted so you can just grab the shoulder strap.
-Sliplock attachment will not hold my Lowepro water bottle holder...it's too small to fit through the loop!

I have a few Lowepro bags and I generally like their quality.  Top load zoom 1 has been great for hiking or very light carry.  

This one just doesn't work for me.  I use it to take my gear in the car to some other place (parents or in-laws) where I will not be using a bag when I get there.  It's just a little too bulky and awkward in operation to carry on a regular basis.  I really tried to like this bag as it held about the right kit for me, but it didn't work out.  I have a Adorama slinger, which isn't pefect either, but IMO works out better than this bag for the same price.

Looks good on paper...

This is a great walking around bag if you're not going to be carrying lots of gear.  This bag holds my D200 with an 18-200mm lens on it.  Also the lens hood (not attached to the lens) and a few filters, mem cards, and lens cleaning stuff.  You might be able to cram some additional stuff in there, but If you're interested in hauling much more, then I would look else where.   

I had the 140 size bag that I carried a D80 in and really loved that.  But the D200 is a much larger camera and so I had to supersize by bag.

Be aware that the bag opens opposite of the way that most camera bags open, but that is fine with me.  Its relatively quick to get the camera in and out of the bag.

I really like the weather cover.  I took this bag to Hawaii where it can rain quite a bit.  I used the rain cover once there and found it very easy to handle.
