A durable pain in the neck
My Canon 20D weighs about 5 pounds by itself and when purchased, included this durable fabric neck strap. The supplied neck strap is simple, basic, and advertises Canon boldly. That may be okay if you don't make much use of the strap or use light weight lenses. Take my camera however, and add any one of my heavy L lenses to it. The supplied neck strap can still do the job, but quickly becomes a pain in the neck.
Some people may feel the bold advertising brings attention to their camera equipment, causing one to think thieves are paying closer attention to them. While I think the camera itself is enough to get a thieves attention, I don't really know if this is a legit concern.
If you are looking to replace your camera strap, I would recommend saving some cash and consider the Tamrac N-45 foam padded leather camera strap with quick release buckles instead. For about $10 US less, the Tamrac N-45 quick-release padded leather camera strap provides comfort, durability, and convenience.
PROS:
Durable construction
CONS:
A pain in the neck when used with heavy cameras
Great Item for A Great Price
The only issue I have is that I brought this item for a 35mm film camera, not a digital. The picture does not show it, but the writing on the strap includes the word "digital". Other than that great strap!!
Great strap, but cheap buckles
I loved every aspect of this strap until one of the plastic buckles broke and dumped my 20d on the asphalt. ouch!! I just replaced it with the Op/Tech pro loop strap, which has much more subtantial buckles. The Op/Tech seems to be a much better strap for 10 bucks less.
