Your original post made me thing we are talking about a single day outing. That said, if I'm going overnight I use either my Deuter or my Osprey bag. Both offer better support than the F-Stop stuff. But for day use the opposite of what is mentioned applies - that is while no camera pack is the equal of a real pack when you need to go a long way or for a long time, likewise no real pack is the equal of a good camera pack for a shorter trip.
The ease of access of the F-Stop stuff, of a good Kinesis setup, of the Gura Gear stuff or the better LowePro gear is unmatched. I can get to everything I need to in the F-Stop bags in under 30 seconds and I don't have a yard sale with my gear spread all over place when finding stuff. That makes setup, shooting and pack up when done easy, fast and efficient. With a real pack it is always less easy, slower and less efficient. So, for a day hike, the F-Stop hits the mark. For an overnighter, I take a bag designed for that purpose.
Peace,
Todd
