i see them selling here for around $50 usually. Are they more comfortable? Do they make your pictures better?
Whats the deal with them and why would you buy one?

I have one from my membership and actually like it. Its more comfortable being wider at the neck area and has more padding as well.

It's a novelty thing. I wouldn't compare it with a BMW keychain and a Honda owner because a Canon user is buying the strap. If that was the case, it would of been a CPS strap and a Nikon owner.

The CPS straps are many times better than the factory straps. Wider, thick padding, longer, "stickier" so they don't slide off, curved, they don't advertise your camera model, probably some more. The extra length is really nice. I couldn't care less about what it said. Fort Wayne, IN Portrait & Wedding Photographer

I've never seen one in person; and I have been half heartily looking for a way to do quick connect/disconnect of my Crumpler strap (Which i love but it just takes up allot of space in the bag I don't always want..). I wouldn't. I use one with my 500mm and it works great.
