Hmm, riding around NYC I had the backpack full of crap for years. Once you get used to it its really not a big deal. Now you if you just throw one on for a ride for the first time year its gonna be different, sore shoulders, weird pack moving sensation and the like but it only took me a couple of weeks to get used to. My only issue with the camelback is I am really sweaty and it made my back sweat more and it was really gross.....
