I have seen just as many panniers fall off of a bike as I have seen bikes loaded with panniers fall over. Numbers are so small that anything I remember is not statistically relevant.
I usually use a waterproof point and shoot camera for touring, sometimes also carry a superzoom camera with a fixed lens if I expect a lot of wildlife on that trip. I leave my really good cameras at home when bike touring or camping.
