I'm 5'9" and usually fit the M/L sizes of backpacks. But my hip is 30" small. Will this backpack's M/L size waist belt fit me or be too big ?

Hey Andrew, I am 5'10" with a 32 inch waist and I can tell you that the M/L will be too big. The S/M waist belt gets just barely snug enough for me.

I got this when it was super discounted, so I have no complaints.
It is light, considering all the excessive straps zippers (if you're ounce counting you could definitely trim a lot of compression straps and bungies). It took two full uncomfortable days of backpacking until I really honed in the straps, then it carried weight really well. The frame is a good design, and the airflow on the back is great, but the pad that sits on the base of the spine is a little awkwardly positioned (hopefully it will break in). Considering how thin the shoulder and hip padding is to save weight, it is actually rather comfortable. The material seems a bit more durable than other bags in this weight class. The zippers don't snag much, but when the bag is really bulging they can require two hands. The excessively adjustable hip straps actually require two hands, no one handed tightening/loosening on the fly. The overall design is good, the side access zipper is well placed, and the outer pocket/pouch is rather versatile. The opening to the sleeping bag compartment on the bottom is tiny, so unless you have a bag that compresses really small it is a little annoying getting the bag in there in the morning. Don't factor the rain cover into your purchase. It doesn't cover the entire bag if the bag is full, and the pouch is just a novelty. I might buy a bigger rain cover and put it in the pouch. Overall, it serves it purpose; most of my complaints are regarding the bells and whistles. I will gladly use it for many years to come.

Update: Having used this bag more I am going to bump it up to 4 stars from 3. The solution to sleeping bag compartment problem is to just ditch the stuff sack altogether and just use the compartment (which has its own compression straps perfectly placed) as your stuff suck. Note, this will not work if you have a large synthetic bag that doesn't compress, in which case you don't want this bag period because the separate bag compartment is small. The pad for the base of my spine is finally honed in, and the material is really holding up and pretty water repellant. The only reason it is not getting bumped up to 5 stars is the complaint regarding the waist straps and that the chest strap won't cinch down enough.
