I'm planning on bringing my Olympus e620 Dslr with me on the AT in september, and am torn on how to carry it...

i don't want to be reaching into my bag everytime i see a shot i want to take, or see something that requries quick action...

i also fear it bouncing against my chest, handing on a strap the whole time...

apologize if the topic has been covered just stink at searching...

but was curious what options others have done?
