I use a very small camera (Sony w/ pancake) in a very small bag on a belt strap. It's a bit fiddly compared to the swinging chest straps that Francis Cade made popular but I'm not a youtuber so my shots are almost always 'see pretty landscape, stop, take photos, move on' rather than shooting from the bike.
What about combo: GoPro on bike, proper camera on back/chest?

Good point, I'd be interested to know more specifically the setup that led to lens death @photoben?
Then again, there's an element of I'd rather have the camera and a chance to get the shot than leave everything at home.
Feels like Jack with a padded camera bag would have a degree of give to protect the kit. Similar say to my current Carradice strapped to the bars with camera bag insert - but freeing up the tops of the bars and staying in place more easily.
Guy I rode with at the weekend was using a chest harness thing with a pouch on the chest big enough for an XT3, seemed to work but also cumbersome. There's no perfect solution it seems.
