With regard to how the bag feels and is comfortable in use, I prefer the canvas.
The differences between the two bags are the size of the main compartment (13x4x9 inch for the F-803 vs 13.5x4.5x10 inch for the J-803), a separate laptop pocket, and the fact that the J-803 has a detachable shoulder strap where the F-803 strap is sewn in. <http://www.tiffen.com/displayproduct.html? tablename=domke&itemnum=701-J83> <http://www.tiffen.com/displayproduct.html? tablename=domke&itemnum=701-83B> That extra size (particularly the 4.5" depth) would be welcome to me for ease of getting camera in and out... the K10D with the Hakuba hand strap fitted is a bit of a squeeze in the F803. I don't know whether the laptop pocket will fit a PowerBook G4 or MacBook Pro 15" so I don't know how useful that is.
