Sell the 5D Mk II neckstrap to someone who owns a 5D and cannot afford the upgrade, so they can impress the women who see them...then take the proceeds and buy a POTN strap or a plain black Optech Super Classic or a Domke.

Canon 5D Mark II -$2700 dollars
Replacing a neck strap - $20 dollars
Whining about neck strap which is only 0.0074% of the total camera cost instead of the 9pts AF upgrade.... Priceless.

Some stuff that says "Canon" on it and a happy trigger finger.

The manic rage expressed in the thread title still makes me laugh.

LOL, life experience has taught me there are some people who would return their 5DII if when they opened the box it did not have that strap with those big letters showing the world how worldly they have now become, i.e. I have played with golfers who would insist that if they bought a new Canon 5DII that the name on their matching camera bag cover the entire side of the bag so everyone would know they own a CANON.

A couple of my friends place flat black tape over the Canon logo and model name so it just looks like a generic camera. Guess that helps keep you from getting mugged in Brazil when your carrying such a valuable camera worth stealing.

I wonder if we should start a class action suit against Canon for enticing muggers?

I totally agree. The canon neck strap is killing my neck... I replaced it with op/tech super classic and now the 70-200 2.8 IS feels so much lighter... the cushioning thingy does work magic.

Dude... if they can see your neckstrap they can see your camera, most likely. Saying "Canon" is just as bad as saing 5D Mark II. 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.

This is true. Most folks here would mug you because you have anything that looks more expensive than a point and shoot :(

That's the last straw, I'm switching....to Nikon neck straps. That should be protection enough.

Will a Nikon neck strap fit on a Canon 5D or 5D MKii?
