If you're on the lock screen, swiping left is probably the fastest
But otherwise what's the fastest?

If you are on the home screen and have the Camera app there or in the dock you can just tap on it to launch it.
Alternatively, you can add a Camera shortcut to Control Center and then launch it from there when you access the Control Center.
The fastest way is now officially through the added camera button on the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max Smart Battery Case.
no other way to have this one click button always available even with the phone asleep.

I was wondering, how does that work that basically a case on the phone can open the camera app?
it’s probably built-in functionality via the lightning port connector of the battery case that Apple only allows itself to do for now.
Looks like you nailed it @MrMacintoshIII, iFixit just answered:
There are no buttons on the iPhone 11 that match up with the camera on the case. Our first guess was some kind of wireless transmission to the phone, but then we saw our patient’s X-rays. It turns out there’s a little circuit board inside the case, which has a thin, flexible circuit running out to connect to the photo button. That circuit board connects the camera button to the phone through the Lightning port “chin” at the bottom of the case. Not totally unexpected, but interesting to see how much hardware design goes into adding just one thing to a battery case.
