I have this and I love it. They also have a larger size.
Edit: Here is the larger one
Is $80 not frugal enough? I had this bag for a while and loved it
This one is a little smaller and cheaper I like camera backpacks because it doesn't scream EXPENSIVE DSLR INSIDE! like traditional square or triangle bags do
I have this. It's probably a little bigger than what you want, but lemme tell you, this bag is the tits. It zips open from the side that touches your back, so theft is essentially impossible. You can buckle these clips in the front and swing the bag in front of you so you can access all your shit. Also, even when I have lots of gear in it, it still feels pretty light on my back. It's not the best looking bag, but sometimes you have to sacrifice form for function.
Edit: also, there's a smaller version too
What about this?

I don't own one myself, but my friend does, and I used it on a hike once, and it worked great with my Olympus Pen micro four thirds camera.
I use this
It works well. The camera dividers are velcro so I pulled them out.
Never had any problems on any rides with my camera bags. Here's what I've used in the past, and what I plan to take later this month.
I have had good luck tucking the bag between my feet on every ride, or holding it in my lap.
Even on Aerosmith and Tower of Terror, I've not had any issues.
I've loved my lowpro flipside 200. It won't hold a 1D body but it holds a gripped rebel body with lens attached + 2/3 additional lenses/flash. Also has a pouch that's perfect for storing cleaning kits, batteries, or memory cards. You could probably throw that in a frame pack but it will take up some space.
A full sized bag like my Dakine has a removable insert that can be carried separate over the shoulder or strapped to the outside of a larger pack. It holds a lot more gear than the little flipside can.
Wanted to add that having a rain cover is always nice the flipside 200 does not it's big brother the 300 might but I know other lowpros do. Kata's also got some cool bags. I'm partial to backpacks since you can strap them on and be active without having to adjust them. They also spread the weight out over more of your body than a shoulder/messenger bag can but since you want to put this bag in a bag a more rectangular shaped bag might serve you better.
