Title: new nova 5 > smaller?
Post by: caymanreview on April 28, 2004, 11:28:27 PM

i just got my new nova 5 today to replace the commercial that was way too big, and it is exactly the model and color as myy last nova 5, except it is smaller...

it is definantly a nova 5, it had the tag and was new from ebay > photococan

i know this has to be smaller than my older nova 5 that i bought from the same person early last year

it is a little different, but just seems like the model changed a bit with the new year

anyone know if im just crazy, or it is really smaller then the older ones?

this one also has the zipper at the bottom of the front with the rain cover that is attached and covers the bag, which my old one did not

post some pics! i have been thinking about getting a nova5 from that guy, and the only pics he has are the stock ones (i.e. the cutaway) from lowepro.

would not be surprising, tamrac does the same thing....similar model names, different designs every year...

that is a different model than my nova 5... i wish i had a digi camera to take pics.... il see if i can get my shitty camera going, i bet i can

seems that it might be the same size as mine, but a few of the options are different

i have a pelican 1060 in mine just like that and room just for the firewire 410 and my laptop to fit snugly in there... im running a picturebook so it is SMALL and thin

hopefully il post some pics in a few mins

i looked a little closer and that is the same model as mine, i just didnt scroll down far enough

i cant find the damn cable that attaches it to my pc, which is a crazy 1/8 stereo plug > some sort of serial plug

hopefully il get some rig pics up soon after i get the firewire 410 today or tomorrow
