Just using the strap that came with my Pentax and it's too short and cumbersome. The camera flops around too much when I'm walking, so I carry a larger camera bag instead.

when I remember to use it. I have a really bad habit of just carrying my camera when it's off a tripod (with no strap).

so at least you have some extra security that doesn't interfere with other options.

The Canon strap that came with my dslr was way too cumbersome. And short.

I highly suggest everyone gets one, it makes shooting a lot easier.

I tend to adjust my camera straps long so I can sling them that way, but it's a constant battle with my husband who shortens them as much as possible so he can carry the camera in his hand.

On my old full sized DSLR, I have a harness similar to this binocular strap/harness: http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/vortex-binocular-harness-strap. It keeps the camera secure and in front but makes it easy to lift the camera to my eyes. It also puts not pressure on my shoulders and does not throw me off balance, as a strap over the shoulder or across the chest does.

But my current favorite camera is much smaller and lighter so I don't need that much support for it.

My birthday is coming up - I know what to ask for!

Thanks!

I have a Black Rapid and never have the camera without it.
