I'm an adventure photographer and never leave home without 1 or 2 dSLR cameras; sometimes HD video. Though I too will carry my cameras in the trunk section, I wouldn't worry too much about your cameras however you choose to carry them. My Pentax cameras have survived thousands of backpacking mile in really bag conditions. I am amazed at how sturdy they have been.
