I currently have a 7D and use the standard neck strap (the one that came with the camera). I find that strap quite unconfortable (especially when wearing a T-shirt). Any recommendations on a strap that will provide a little more comfort?
Thanks.

Black Rapid Sport strap. I use a Grip as well so it balances the weight very well, particularly with larger lenses on. Highly recommend! Kf
