Yeah I hardly ever use one.
I have a holster on my belt with my other camera setup, I have one in my hand that I am using and the other goes in the holster.

When I use "neck" straps I just throw them over one shoulder. Works for me. I recently tested the Spider holster at wedding; gotta say, I'm liking it. I'm going to get another holster for the other cam and go strapless.

I had my last camera about 3 months before I even took the strap out of the plastic. I only have the strap on when I will be out all day with only the camera and 1 lens. Such as theme parks...etc...etc and may need my hands for something. If I bring more than that I use my small backpack, and leave the strap at home. When taking the whole kit... It goes in the big bag....and the strap still stays at home. It is very rare for me to have the strap on the camera. They cause more problems than worth the "safety" they provide.

I love my R-strap. I used a quick release neckstrap on the 40D for the longest time, but when I saw the R-strap, I knew I had to have one. Expensive, but worth it IMO.

I use it as I like free hands, but I don't like having to put the camera in its bag and taking it back out. But I do hate it hanging down, so when I take it off my shoulder to shoot, I grab the strap in a certain spot and wrap it around my hand/wrist. Doing this lets me grab the camera while having the strap wrapped around my wrist and not dangling.

when i use my shoulder strap i wear it cross the chest style. i was out with another photog a few weeks back and he would wrap it around his hand and i've been doing that quite a bit lately too. I do have moments when i find the strap cumbersome so i know how the OP feels but for my baby's safety it is required to be there. i have been thinking about getting a longer strap however.

I have quick releases on mine. I unhook the strap when I don't need it and leave it in the bag.

Actually, I use my 50D 99% of the time while my husband hogs his 7D :rolleyes: and I've found that the grip makes my camera too big for my hands with the grip on it, not to mention incredibly heavy coupled with my 70-200mm...meaning I'll probably have a grip for sale soon! How does this hand grip work wihtout a grip? Or, another thought, could it make my grip feel better in my hands or is that something that won't change unless my hand size does?;)

I have no love for grips on the prosumer bodys such as my 7D, but I love to use an E1 handgrip. I got a RRS L bracket which allows me to use one without a grip. It's also great for the tripod.

always hate the neck strap... pretty much I do not use it. and this goes way back in the film days when I was shooting w/ the AE model.

just a little over a month, i decided to try out the R-Strap... and it was only because I need my hands available when I was walking around w/ my 2 yr old in the park w/ my camera.

Now I LOVE the R-Strap.
