I think camera backpacks are great, especially if they also hold a laptop/ That said, another photographer I know said he packed his camera in a backpack for a trip to Europe and someone grabbed his camera right off his back. He now prefer a traditional over-the-shoulder bag so he can wrap his arms around it.
I have a 20 year old beat up over-the-shoulder red bag because it looks very unprofessional ... and thieves never guess what I have inside. When that finally goes to bag heaven ... my next bag will definitely be a backpack ... I'll just avoid reaveling to Europe!
