I should be angry at Ferrari for putting their name and model on their cars!

I don't think he was complaining about the badging on the camera. The strap advertising, to scale up to a Ferrari, would be lettering 3 feet high trailing behind your car.

I would agree that the strap is ugly, replaceable, and not comfortable anyway, but I don't want to hurt the feelings of the people who secretly like the camera model on the strap.

I personally dont like the Canon straps especially with some weight on my body.

The POTN neckstraps just feel so much more comfy and im sure the red ring with would a big enough giveaway to people to know im carrying some expensive gear.

I guess its always going to be a highly subjective area.
