Years ago I backpacked along and carried a fairly heavy Canon SLR. I 
used an A16 external frame pack. The frame had a pair of D rings 
attached specifically for carrying a camera at the ready. I ran a length 
of nylon line thru those D rings down to snaps which hooked into the D 
rings on the camera case. I adjusted the line to put the camera at a 
convenient height for grabbing whenever I wanted. However it was a 
nuisance to first put the camera to one side before removing the pack 
and sometimes I forgot; but usually only once a trip.

I don't know if this would work on modern packs or not. However 
something to think about.
