Canon Handstrap or Neckstrap?

Looking to see what everyone around here likes to use...

I just orderd that Canon handstrap for my 20D + grip... I figure I buy it since I wanted to try it out. Seems to be more comfortable when using larger lenses...

What do you like...

Neckstrap, Handstrap, or Both attached to the camrea?

Im going to have to say both for myself, when I dont want to constantly hold the camrea, the neck strap is great, but for longer tele lenses, and holding it all day, the handstrap seems to be a lot more comfortable.

I've always had the Canon handstrap attached to my camera(s). I couldn't be without it.

As to the neckstrap, I never used it until I dropped my camera a couple of years ago. Since then, I place the neckstrap around my neck before I completely remove the camera from my bag, and keep it on until I place it back in the bag.

BOTH.

I dont have the hand strap because I dont like the looks of it and the neck strap isnt to great so I just purchased a Navy POTN strap about 5 minutes ago.

both
E1 handstrap and POTN neck strap

Can I vote 'shoulder strap'?
(the old fashioned 1" wide Canon kind. I never could get to like the wide ones)
I *never* carry my camera around my neck...

Positively hate the E1 handstrap on other photographers cameras, but that might be because of different 'setting'. I have quite long fingers, so need a bit freedom of hand movement. Never felt compelled to try though.

Hand strap only unless near water.

POTN neck strap. Support your forum boys and girls! And the strap is amazing!

I have both...But I get a kick out of the people that go off on tangents about how a "professional" photographer would never be caught dead with a neckstrap actually around their neck.

POTN neck strap! We need to support our Forum. Hand strap, I asked months ago when it was coming out. I am still waiting!

Well ordered a POTN strap finally.

Joe I would suggest making a thread for people to sign up if the would like a POTN hand strap you would need around 50 names because that is how many Phil needs to make the custom order.

I have both attached to my camera, but use the handstrap most of the time.

in the summer, i use both at the same time. however, i take off the hand strap in the winter because i shoot with gloves which makes it a bit uncomfortable.

let those people shoot wildlife with out the strap. i when i have the strap on, i allow myself to climb and do things that i couldn't do without having the camera secure to my body.

i use both

I have a neckstrap on my camera but don't use it as one. I wrap it around my wrist for stability. Does the handstrap allow you to switch between horizontal and vertical easily? The handstrap sounds good but only if I can switch easily.
