I use one of these when touring - Although I do not carry a DSLR, this is purported to be for cameras.

Not too large, not too expensive, some light internal padding, and can be removed and carried around. You may or may not like the QuickClick element of this. Not waterproof though although there is a rain cover that comes with it.

Ortlieb make padded camera inserts for their handlebar bags.

I have an Ortlieb Ultimate 6 bar bag for my tourer - considering pairing it with one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00KT7GJGS/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1
I think the BYOB 9 should fit snuggly inside the bar bag.

Any recommendations for a handlebar bag for a camera with one lens attached. Mainly road with a bit of light gravel (it’ll be fitted to my Eddy Merckx road bike so nothing too extreme). Aim is safe transport to photogenic spots rather than rapid access, but probable that I will want to whip it out quickly sometimes, hence needing the lens attached rather than separate.
At the moment I use a Timbuk2 messenger with padded camera insert, which is fine but I worry that if I fall, i’ll do myself (and the camera) more damage than if it was on the bike.
Camera will be fairly small and light: Minolta X-700 with a 28-85mm, or Olympus OM-D EM5.2 with 12-40mm or a 75-300 (am toying with picking one up specifically for the deer rutting season)
