The back pack is heavily padded and provides good protections. When I shoot i keep my camera hanging on my left side along a Y-Strap that is IMO the most comfortable way to carry a camera ready.
For trips that call for extra protection against moisture and/or dust I use:

-Last year in 6 hours walking in the rain in the Sumbawa jungle down Mount Tambora (Indonesia), this waist-attachable 'Aqua-Cam' case helped: ORTLIEB product description

-and this year in South Africa and Namibia we religiously both kept our camera's in this 'Zip-City' shoulder bag: ORTLIEB product description

plus all chargers, cards etc in this 'Rack-Pack' during dusty car rides:ORTLIEB product description

Not pretty, but not expensive. Billingham insert used for the Zipcities ( can one get more snotty? )
