Canon Pro Neck Strap 1 for all EOS Cameras

I have the Canon Powershot S3IS. This is a great camera but the neck strap that came with it was poor quality and too short. Canon makes an upgraded leather strap for the Powershot S3IS but I did not like the looks of it either. I bought this a strap at a camera store the salesman allowed me to try it on before buying it. The strap fits through the S3IS buckles. I was afraid it would be too thick. At first I thought it looked a little dorky this huge strap on my camera but it is so much more comfortable to wear than my old strap and then if you add accessory lenses to the S3IS it is really nice. No one has commented to me yet about an EOS strap on a lesser Powershot camera. It is too bad Canon does not make a quality strap like this with Powershot embroidered on it. I would highly recommend this to anyone with the S3IS or the new S5IS.

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

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.
