[pct-l] Camera access locations

[Josh]

My Osprey Exos has some lil 'bungees' that are used to store walking poles.
I use a crab & clip my camera's hand strap to this stretchy cord.  The
Camera hangs near my chest and I can grab it in an instant without
un-clipping it (the stretchy cord works like a charm).  I've found that
sometimes the rustling of unzipping a pouch or whatever will scare away some
smaller wildlife, so this works pretty good 4 me.

It has come to our attention that the backpacking camera is not always handy
when suddenly desired to take that quick, spontaneous picture. 

Where is a good place to carry your camera? 

Of course, it depends on the size and weight of the camera. I would imagine
that the little digitals could be carried in a shirt pocket or side pocket
of a pack, but how about for those of us who want to capture our images
through an SLR? 

For years I carried mine high up on my Kelty's top where I could get it
simply by reaching up and unwrapping its shoulder strap from around the
frame extension bar, which kept it from moving too far
 
Are there any other options other than a chest or frontal waist carrier?
