I have two of the Domke F 803, one in sand, and another in dark blue. It is a favorite bag of mine, not only for carrying camera gear, but for general purpose as well. It easily fits an ipad or small netbook--my 13 inch fits just fine.The F 803 is not a bag for people who want many differently sized compartments, or who desire a great deal of protection for their gear. The bottom is generously padded, and that is enough for my needs. I can fit three camera bodies in this bag with two camera backs touching, and another on top. Not ideal, but it works in a pinch. Normally I carry a Canon 60D with kit lens, a couple of prime lenses and/or Speedlite in addition to the usual purse things. Other times, I carry two or three film bodies.The canvas is sturdy but supple, and improves with use. By 'use' I mean several months; I did not think I liked the bag initially, because it was stiff and more boxy than I had imagined. However, after making a small incision into a layer of canvas running beneath the carry handle, and removing the 3/4 inch thick panel of pvc sheeting that is used as a stiffener, I like this back much better. It conforms nicely to my side and is comfortable for long walkabouts. Canvas itself is incredibly durable; My bags are scuffed and a little dirty (they wash fine in the machine), but no rips or tears to date. I would not say it is waterproof, but having gotten caught in multiple downpours in New Orleans last summer, my bag did really well with a third party rain cover hastily stretched over the top. I would not set the bag down on wet surfaces, but for an occasional shower, it is fine.A word about Domke inserts for those who might dismiss them as poorly designed (as I have seen mentioned in other reviews): the Domke inserts are intentionally left unstitched at bottom so that the user can customize the level of padding. I have not yet had a piece of foam slide out of a compartment on accident, and the foam is very durable. The beauty of this design is that it allows the user to make the insert as floppy or rigid as necessary to fit a particular bag. For example, I use the insert intended for the F 803 in many handbags and totes, and often removed a piece of foam to make it fit better. This works great for me.This bag can be great as a camera bag and as an everyday bag, but not at the same time. While I have traveled with this as my only carry-on, and managed to fit camera items (in the Domke insert made for this model) as well as full size iPad and other items, I would not use the bag that way every day.At 5'3 and 125 pounds, it is difficult to find camera bags that are comfortable and practical. The Domke F 803 happens to be one of those bags, and is my favorite of the many, many bags I own.
