Do you think, for example, 3 pairs of shorts, a pair of pants, 4-5 short sleeve shirts, one long sleeve shirt, a few pairs of underwear and socks as well as a pair of shoes would all fit in addition to the camera, 2 extra lens and laptop if I arranged the dividers properly?

That is a tough question, bud. Which camera and lenses are you taking? How big are your shoes? I mean, these are the deciding factors, right. But unless you are taking a big pro-camera body and long zoom lenses (i.e. 300mm+) and unless you're packing bulky hiking boots, I think you should be fine with this one. Shoes will go on the bottom, along with the camera. Clothing you've described should not be a problem distributed around. My 15" MacBookPro fits in the laptop pocket no problem and it doesn't "intrude" in the cargo space of the backpack.
Added: Just checked your profile, you live in Calgary. Take your stuff and go to Vistek on 10th Ave SW. They usually keep one of these backpacks in stock, but call ahead to check. This is not a cheap bag, so makes sense to see if it's the right one for what you need. Kata bags are really great though, you have to see it to understand. Originally designed for Israeli military, I believe, they're made from the material used in parachutes. Tough and weightless.
