Good sideloading backpack? (k.fe.derate.me)

I know this is quite personal, but does anybody know of a good sideloading backpack? I have a wandrd prvke 31l, and while I like all the organizing I'm unsure of the looks and it's quite heavy. I have a fjallraven Ulvo 23l and I really like it but it's maybe a bit too small and it's a pain to dig up my camera cube/sling underneath from my coat, drinks and food. The Peak Design Everyday pack is expensive and doesn't look like it works well with the dividers and such.

So I thought maybe there's a hiking or daypack with side loading option. Those are usually less expensive, have good build quality and with a camera cube can function fine as a gear bag. Is there such a backpack?

I often grab my side loading REI 30L(?) over my more expensive packs. The side loading is just easier. It is often on sale under $100 (was last week).

Yeah I definitely prefer side loading. The Wandrd prvke does have that, but I notice that I don't grab it as much. Maybe it's too big or I don't like the look as much.
