Fine for a point and shoot but a M6 with lens and hood will not go. I use my Porkchops to carry film, flash and batteries; more of a support bag than a camera bag. My wife and daughter have several of PeeWees, different colours for different occasions and seasons (I am not joking!). The PeeWee is a little on the small side and has a narrow strap so I seldom use mine (inherited from my daughter when the colours went out of fashion). See Rolfe's answer as to what he can fit in one. I use an El Ocho myself. It is large enough to take three bodies, lenses, flashes, film, etc but is also comfortable as day bag with only one camera. The website has all the sizes listed and photos of the bags in use. http://timbuk2.com/products/products.html The bags are not straight sided but tapered so normal camera bag inserts might not fit perfectly. I use rock climbing chalk and bouldering bags to protect my gear in the bag. I find if you overfill the bags they are not as comfortable, a nice relaxed shape fits me better. The wider strap of the El Ocho and up bags take accessories such as a strap pad, pouch etc. The wider strap is very useful for this reason and more comfortable as well. The DeeDog and Bolo are BIG and could easily swallow a skateboard, with the Bolo it will take the skateboarder as well :-). The downside? The flap has velcro which is noisy in quiet situations. Fancy dress or quiet places have me using the Billinghams.
