Cant decide between the Tenba Shootout (external link) or the Think Tank Streetwalker Pro (external link)

Both fit my current needs, with room to grow with an extra body and lens. Looking for any feedback of people who have one or the other. Pro/cons would be nice. For the Tenba, I like the all weather body and rubber YKK zippers. I also like the tripod mounting system better. For the Think Tank, I like the warranty, YKK zips & can attach a padlock, also the padding (looks more padded than the Tenba)

Looks wise Id give a slight edge to the Tenba. Price wise the Tenba is $60 less.

Streetwalker Pro.
I used it in an international trip a month and a Half ago. I carried the 5D With grip, 24-70 2.8, 70-200 2.8 is II, 1.4x II and a 580ex and an arca Swiss ball head with a gitzo 1541t
The bag did not feel heavy at all on my shoulders either through miles of hiking or at airports while in transit taking connecting flights.
I also like the fact that I could have carried 3 more of my L lenses or 2 lenses and my Mark III if I wanted to. In addition I could add a TT speed belt with modular components for easy accessability.

I can't comment on the Tenba, but I have the Streetwalker Pro (HD) and agree with Lifeinpictures, took it to Mexico a couple times and Las Vegas once. Packed with 40D and 50D (both gripped), 4 lenses, filters, 2 flashes, extra batteries, chargers, monopod, misc stuff, and a laptop, never really had an issue carrying it through the airports. I was amazed and how much stuff you can actually fit in it, more than I really needed to take, but... ;) ;) As far as quality, the Streetwalker is well built, and well thought out. Lots of storage, very configurable, and hasn't disappointed me at all.

I'd go for a Think Tank Streetwalker Pro.

I used a Tenba Shootout medium for about a year and then bought Think Tank Streetwalker Pro a couple of months ago. The Tenba was getting a little cramped (gripped 50D, 70-200, 2 flashes, Radio triggers, batteries, etc) so I wanted to try a little bit bigger bag. The main reason I like the Think Tank more is the allocation of space. I don’t use a laptop so the laptop compartment wouldn’t get used. Also the overall shape of the TT increases storage space and I would say there is more room to grow with the TT. I use the tripod mounting for a compact lightstand and a 51” umbrella. With the Tenba, I could never get those items snug enough, they always seemed to be flopping around. The pockets on the inside of the TT were also roomier than the Tenba and I liked having more outside storage on the TT including a place for a water bottle.
