I am a photographer and have spent a small fortune on various camera bags over the years. Because I spend most of my time in the field and not in neat studios I am very rough on bags, but I do still expect them to hold up. Most bags I trash pretty quickly, obviously designed by luggage people and not photographers. When I first ran across Think Tank a while back I bought this back pack and fell in love, their stuff is well-designed and extremely durable. I still use this back pack, it's a tank!
On an average shoot in the field I stuff my full size Nikon D800 with 70-200/2.8 attached with a perfect fit. I also can carry my 24-70/2.8 and 14-24/2.8 in there with no problem, and those are not small lenses. I still have room for a 4th and 5th smaller prime lens, gloves, small flashlight, various cleaning items, a few filters, AND still room for a SB900. At this point it's getting pretty full, but there is room and nothing rattles around, it's all securely padded. In the outside pockets I have room for all that stuff that tends to accumulate when you use the bag a lot. I also attach a sturdy tripod on it frequently, best designed system for that purpose I have seen on a bag.
It has been in the blazing hot sun, driving rain, freezing snow and sleet, crapped on by birds, kicked by various animals, and used as pillow when stranded in an airport. Honestly it has held up better than I have sometimes. The best accessory that I bought for it is the camera support straps from Think Tank that attach to it that allow you to clip the camera strap to the backpack and takes the weight off your neck with just the neck strap. It is all well thought out system.
My ONLY issue is minor; I wish it had a place to stuff my iPad. I never go out without my iPad, it is my best camera accessory and even though I do manage to stuff it in here on top of the lenses the bag really is not designed to do that. I bought the bigger version of this for myself recently but it is just too big for every day use.
I like this product so much it has quickly become like a good friend, I joked with my family when I die to have me cremated and put my ashes in this bag, then just drop me off in a favorite photo location. Please keep that in mind if you are out shooting and find one of these under a tree!

Fantastic Casual Bag for "Street Walking"
Disclaimer: Let me say I am a Think Tank fan for life. I have the Airport International, which I am not a world traveler but I have used it at least three or four times on many trips from Pittsburgh to Florida and back, as well as a 7-day cruise, without issue. I also own the Retrospective 10 and their memory card wallet. I was looking for a small bag, but not too small. One to carry one or two full-frame Nikon bodies and two or three lenses, plus batteries, a flash, etc. I also wanted to be able to EASILY strap on a small tripod, and carry TWO bottles of the the nectar of the gods (Mountain Dew) or other tasty beverages with me on my jaunts. A backpack would be the ideal solution for me, as well as it standing up on its own if possible. Enter Thinktank as usual. I have a Tamrac small to medium photo backback, and this bag is decent. The only problems with this bag is: The bag is shallow. Although I can fit a full-frame camera in the bag, it is kinda tight and could use some breathing room. Only short lenses (like the 50mm, 85mm 1.8) can "stand on end; It does not come with a native built-in beverage holder, never mind two; There is not a real convenient fast way to attach a tripod (although it is doable). Did I say it was shallow? their is no real way to include another extra FF body if I wanted. And it is just getting worn a a little long-in-the-tooth. If you pack this bag, it is so deep you can "stand up" lenses as big as a 24-70 or 24-120. You can lay down a 70-200 and then lay a flash on top of that (I pad between items with the dividers to make "shelves"). So it will feel and be heavier than it actually looks. So this bag can be a very heavy bag. Comparing it to my Tamrac, it would be like doubling the size - looks can be deceiving when almost doubling the depth and using it! I'm not a fan of waist belts, and haven't tried the supplied belt yet. I have shoulder carried this bag a few miles through Florida wetlands with no problems. I use it for short walks and basically as a day bag to haul my stuff for a day or two of shooting. By no means am I a backpacker or do I hike for miles and miles. For my needs this bag is fantastic! Bird and wildlife shooting in the woods nearby, or within a few miles of a nature walk; working bag for events and weddings; small enough to haul back and forth to work for lunchtime walk and shoot around the city, street photography, etc.. I have included a few pics of possible configurations and what I have in my bag. To give you an idea of what can fit. You can't beat the quality and warranty of the Think Tank bags IMHO. Your Mileage and Needs may vary.

NKT275Reviewed in Japan on September 30, 2015
しっかりとした造り、使い勝手が良いです！
EF100-400mm F4.5-5.6L IS II USM(フード順付け)を装着したEOS 7D2+BGと、EOS 6D+BGボディ、SIGMA 50mm F1.4 EX DG HSM(フード順付け)を入れて、まだ余裕ありです。贅沢を言えば、６Dと50mmF1.4も装着済みで入れたかったけれど、バッグがこれ以上大きくなっても困りますから。機材の出し入れはバッグを降ろしてからじゃないと厳しいですが、自分の使い方では蓋が全開しますし、とても満足です。NKT275しっかりとした造り、使い勝手が良いです！

電車で座って膝に載せても、はみ出して周りの人に迷惑を掛けません。型くずれしない硬さがあり、機材の保護性も高そうです。質感も高く、デザインも好みでした。ジッパーの取手には盗難防止用にTSAダイアルロックを付けて使用しています。
EF100-400mm F4.5-5.6L IS II USM(フード順付け)+EXTENDER EF1.4X IIIを装着したEOS 5D4+BGでも同様に収納できます。(2017/02/16 追記)
