Me again - I just use the 4 velcro straps and recently gave the brake
straps a try (yup, they've good). I pulled the plastic bag stiffener
out when it was new; just have the coroplast bottom stiffener in the
bag. No decaleur. I slide the loop at the back of the front rack
under the leather loop

I do not use a decaleur, just the four velcro straps and the twobrake
straps and the bag is very table. The weight of the camera shouldn't
affect this bag, but I would certainly want to stuff a jacket or
something in there to keep the camera from shifting. I ride lots of
dirt roads and chip and

I have no problem with this. I run an Acorn bag on a mark's rack and
simply route the cable under the front rack. It's so simple I don't
know why some people say otherwise. Now, with Shimano brifters,

I've done exactly what you describe using pretty much the same bag and
a VO decaleur. My cables are routed all the way under the tape to the
stem along with the brake cables. On my 64cm frame, we had to use a
tandem cable for the rear derailleur as a result of the extra length.
It is clean, and if
I've got the VO front rack, the Acorn bag, and bar end shifters on my
Bleriot. No problems at all.

Lots of people run bar-ends with a handlebar bag. You'll be able to
smoothly route the housings, one way or another: either all the way to
the stem under the tape, or just straight out from the tape about 6
ahead of the shifters. If the latter, usually you can route the
housings
PS As a follow-up, you may want to consider having your shifter cables
cross along the down tube. In other words, the rear derailleur housing
would loop from the shifter over to the left side of the down tube,
and vice-versa. This makes a cleaner arc in many cases. I often set up
bar-ends with the
Larry, I use a Berthoud HB bag supported by a Mark's rack on my Hilsen
with BE shifters and it works fine. You might want to leave the cables
and housing a bit a tad longer to accommodate the bag.
Not sure if this helps but take a gander:
