It should do the trick.

The daypack I'm using is a Boreas Repack 15, which is very water resistant (siliconized nylon) so it should do the job. I'll have a plastic bag for the camera, of course.

Thanks all for the continuing help and advice.
With all the futzing around that you are doing, you could have just sprung for the Ortlieb. It is waterproof...by which I mean torrential downpour waterproof. It's very, very rugged...mine has several thousand miles on it and the plastic bits are holding up just fine. It will carry an SLR in a suspended bag and always at the ready. And Ortlieb got it's name by making outstanding equipment of very high quality.
