I'm looking at getting a backpack, but fear the same.
I reckon I would aim to have the camera in my hand with a wrist strap, or pick up one of the Peak Design capture clips and look like a photo nerd.
Yup, once the camera is in a backpack it doesn't come out. Have to stick in a large pocket or sling it.
This is why the Kadet is great, I just avoid overloading it most of the time and being able to swing it around to the front on public transport, in museums, etc. is much handy.
Yeah this is why I was leaning toward a sling over a backpack. It's not something I'll be carrying around all the time, and I want to be able to access the camera quickly. Ordered the Kadet and will get some padded organisers to help keep things secure.
