backpack for storage that isn't huge?

[MonteMama]

I just got the Tenba medium shootout. It fits everything I want to store, and then some - but it is huge.

I am not sure if a bag exists that can store everything I want, and not be huge, though.

I'm looking to store/carry:

2 bodies (Rebel & 5D)
5 lenses (50mm, 85mm, 24-70mm, 100-300mm, 90mm)
2 small flashes & cybersyncs
sample gel pack, gel holder
batteries, chargers, memory cards
light stand & umbrella or tripodI know that's a lot of stuff, but it just seems like the Tenba medium shootout is bigger than it needs to be. I suppose I could exchange it for the small shootout, but I thought I'd ask you experts for a recommendation for any bag that excels at having good storage capacity.... without feeling like you're off to hike Everest. It doesn't help that I'm only 5'1" and the bag feels like it's about half my size.

Thanks!

ETA... it also seems like all the backpacks also accommodate a laptop. I don't need this. Are there any that don't have a laptop compartment?

I've got a Lowepro Microtrekker 200 and I love it, I only have 1 body right now (30D) and 3 lenses, an 430EXII and it holds everything I have. Charger, filters, spare batteries, notepad, manuals, mini-tripod, etc... Lowepro has large BP's that hold more. I want to get 1 more body and 2 lenses. I guess I'll need another bag then though, although I have a shoulder bag (Tenba) that will hold 2 bodies & 6 lenses. But I don't have that much gear since I went digital. I like the Lowepro b/c it is compact and I carry it a lot. It actually holds a lot of stuff for its size. BTW, it does not have a laptop compartment although, I think you could use that compartment for other things like reflectors, w/b cards or notebooks (paper kind)

Thanks, imacmadman22. I looked at the Microtrekker and I'm afraid it's too small. I'm now debating between the MiniTrekker and the Flipside400. I like the features on the Flipside and am hoping that our local Bestbuy might have some of these bags so I can take a look at them. They usually just have the smaller models, though.
