No. The zippers go the full length of the bag, and the unzip motion starts from the back. So I do need to get off of the bike to grab that camera - although I don't need to remove the bag from the bike, just need to open it. One of the reasons I went with the TailRider is because I can keep the camera in a small space where it won't bounce around at all (there is a moveable divider in the bag).

I also carry a small camera in a fanny pack (yes, maybe I'm a bit nutty, but I do ride with two cameras!), and that's the one that I use for the "put my foot down and take a picture" shots. The camera that I carry in the TailRider is a digital SLR, and although it's small for that class of cameras, it's considerable larger than my baby camera. And I just don't like handlebar bags, so I never considered one!
