There is even a waterproof bottom panel to keep the bag protected if it has to sit on a wet surface.

Tenba Discovery 637-322 Mini Photo Daypack - Sage/Khaki Review

I purchased this bag to replace my Lowepro fastpack 100, because I wanted the ability to carry my iPad (1st gen) and Canon 60D at Disney World. I didn't want a big bag, as I am going for 8 days in summer.

The quality of the bag is excellent. Zippers and pockets are in good places. Side pockets are huge, and won't have any problems holding large water bottles. The shoulder straps are just right, and the sternum strap helps prevent shoulder strap creep. This bag feels light on the back, but like any bag, will get heavy when loaded up with water and lenses.

Ok, so what is the downside? I can't get my iPad in the "tablet" pocket with my very slim Yoobao cover. It's not even close. With the iPad cover removed, the iPad slides in nice. It is so snug that it becomes difficult to take it back out for quick use. Hopefully it will loosen up.

So what am I packing? I usually have a battery grip on the 60D, but unlike the Lowepro fastpack, it didn't fit well with the provided repositionable Velcro dividers. I took off the grip and it fits great while still providing room for 2 more lenses, or in my case, a 35mm Rokinin f1.4 and a speedlite flash. The 60D has a Tamron 18-270 vc lense attached.

The top area has a fair amount of room for extras, but just slightly less than the fastpack. This area does contain the included rain cover, which they claim is washable. What is really cool, is the camera padding is removable. Then the divider that seperates the camera area to the top area can be repositioned/removed making a normal (but expensive) backpack.

Final thoughts....I really like it and would highly reccomend the bag IF you really need the smallest and lightest backpack around. If you will want to access your iPad a lot, or need to keep the battery grip + 2 lenses, I would recommend the bigger model.

Edit (7/6/2012)

The bag performed flawlessly during my 8 day trip to Disney World. We got hit by tropical storm Debby, and the included rain cover was excellent! The iPad is still difficult to get in/out, but I would rather have it this way and not add to the thickness of the bag. The bag had plenty of room, and it was very comfortable to carry around when loaded up. I highly recommend this bag.
