I know, this might sound a bit stupid, but how many of you use camera straps??

with my Canon 20d its so fiddly to put on and take off...why cant they just make a quick release version instead of me spending a good 20min trying to figure out which part goes where lol?

does any1 else have this problem? or im I the only furstrated retarted person here

Matt:
The Op/Tech straps have quick releases on them. When you remove the strap, you have two short pigtailes remaining on the camera.

And, if all that functionality isn't enough, you are about to have the opportunity to get it and help the cause without spending more than you would at a store or over the Internet:

All the time, round neck, over shoulder wrapped around wrist.....

The OpTech pro straps are excellent, and as belmondo states have quick release clips.

I use the Black Classic Op/Tech strap:

And I love it, very comfortable, and easy to detach tho I normally dont detatch it.

I use the Classic Op/Tech strap also, but Navy. I do use the quick release when I attach the camera to the D rings on my backpack while out hiking.

I have had occasion to remove the center section of the strap when having it would be in the way (on the tripod, for example) and the way OP/Tech designs it you can clip the two pigtails together if you want to make a short carry strap. Very Cool! I am way sold on OP/Tech.

Have Fun,

nice question
and nice answer

now i guess i need to look at these. i saw the thread but did not investigate much.

i like the quick release part of it.
are these wider than the canon strap or narrower?
