You think that muggers keep up with the latest camera releases? Not likely. Canon means just as much if not more than a number and a letter. Gear Listhttp://www.codastudios.com.au

woodsie Senior Member  701 posts Likes: 6 Joined Oct 2005 Location: Australian living in Zurich, Switzerland More info | Yep, $20 neck strap. Definitely a far, far bigger problem than the 1DMkIII AF problem. I'm definitely going back to disposable cameras if they are going to do that with the neck strap. 1DMkIIn, 20D and S80 - Full gear list

I really like my Domke gripper neckstraps - far superior than any of the Canon ones if you primarily use them as wrist straps Gear Listhttp://www.codastudios.com.au
