I use this bag clipped to the shoulder straps of my Arc Teryx Bora 80 backpack. In my setup I have the bag hanging across my chest just below my sternum. During a trip across Glacier National Park (51lbs pack, 6 nights) the case always had my D200 ready. I typically leave the top flap zipped a couple inches on each side to keep the camera secure. Even while crossing rough terrain, scrambling over scree and kick stepping across snow fields this bag left little to be desired. It hangs steady and does not bounce too much.
If you are looking for something to hold your camera while out backpacking I don't know of any better solutions out there.

I just chose the Lowepro Topload Zoom 1 for my new Nikon D50. It has a shoulder strap, belt loops, handle, top opens toward you instead of away, inside pocket, front pocket and it is just the right size (length and width)for the D50. The depth is a little more than the 18-55 lens needs but just right for the 18-200 zoom, that I plan to get soon, which is 0.9 inch longer.Be sure to check out the Topload Zoom Chest Harness that works with this case.
PS: I have been using the Lowepro TLZ Mini (same features but smaller size) with another camera for three years and am very satisfied with it.
Best Deals for Lowepro Topload Zoom 1 Camera Bag -Black
You can certainly fit a D80 (D50, D40) plus the 18-200mm VR lens into this it has about the right length, a little to spare for filters. However, it's quite a bit wider and taller than is necessary. It's really quite a big bag for an SLR holster. I can't see what the extra space is for, unless you have an older generation DSLR with a bigger body. The camera is reasonably located inside, so it shouldn't flop around too much, but if you're looking for something snug and neat, this isn't it.If you have a shorter lens (like the kit lenses, then go for the Lowepro Topload Zoom Mini, but with the 18-200 lens the Mini is about half an inch too shallow otherwise it would be ideal, and much, much smaller than the Zoom 1.
Honest reviews on Lowepro Topload Zoom 1 Camera Bag -Black
I bought this bag based on another reviewer's write up. The reviewer mentioned that that this Lowepro Topload Zoom 1 Camera Bag was a perfect fit for the Nikon D-50.The reviewer was absolutely correct. This bag easily holds my Nikon D-50 with the 18-200mm zoom lens attached (with some room to spare). The inside padding is adjustable for your particular camera and lens. I found there also is room for my 72mm filters, memory cards, and a spare battery. This is a great carry around day bag, I would probably opt to take this bag on vacation too because of its condensed size. It has a belt loop and shoulder strap for more carrying options.
