I got the Black Diamond Outlaw pack w/ avalung. it as the back pad that zips out for avy gear but would work for camera gear as well. Dakine doesnt have the stabilizer straps which drives me crazy.

they connect the shoulder strap to the frame of the pack and you can cinch them down so the pack doesnt slosh around on your back. very very helpful and a must if you're doing any skiing with a pack.  i do a lot BC skiing I have a 30+lbs pack most of the time and stabilizer straps are the one strap that makes me feel like I'm not wearing a pack at all

but try the pack on first and make sure they fit well over your bigger jackets
