I've been using an Explorer 1 to carry a Nikon D40x+lens, two extra lenses, and a flash. Everything "kind of" fits, but the bag's overstuffed, so the camera sticks up above the zipper. The bag closes, but bulges, with the LCD pressed against the top flap. A Nikon D90 is just a teeny bit taller & wider, so it sticks up even more... too much more for my peace of mind. The Explorer 2 is just a little bigger in all dimensions than the Explorer 1... big enough to comfortably hold all the same equipment for the D90, and the camera does not protrude. The "2" also comes with a pair of horizontal dividers to let you stack things on top of each other, on either side of the camera. Getting to a lower lens might be a little challenging, and my gear doesn't need these; but they could be useful for some people. This Explorer 2 is only $5 more than the Explorer 1, and I wish I'd gotten it in the first place, only because it's roomier. The construction and extra pockets are the same for both bags: excellent workmanship, good protection, and places for lots of little things.

This is a decent camera bag. It holds all the camera equipment I have so far. I have a Nikon D60, SB-600, 18-55mm lens, a 55-200mm lens on camera and a lens hood. All these fit in the main compartments and my spare battery and cleaning stuff fits in the front pocket. It is a decent buy and I would recommend it if you have about the same amount of camera equipment.

much too small for my use--perfect for one camera, flash and an extra lens--very well made--
