I picked up a Tamrac N5057 “Boomerang” Neck strap the other day to use with my new 50D, And what a difference it makes! It’s so much better then the stock straps I’ve been using all these years! And with mine, You have the added benefit of quick release clips, So you can take the strap off when you don’t need it (Eg. Working on a tripod) And it also has two memory card holders! The strap is nice and padded, And is made of wetsuit material, And is easy to wash, And is waterproof.
The strap is nice and wide, And is shaped to fit around your neck nicely, And is also comfortable over your shoulder.
I got mine from a local camera store for $30, And it’s well worth the money!!
Here is a pic of the strap:

I just use the stock standard canon one that came with the camera-I now hate it! It hurts my neck isnt comfy @ all. I did see a red canon strap on another togger at an event and it looked so padded and soft and seemed to go over the shoulder and neck. Do you have a picture of yours?

I use a Nikon one that came with my camera and I find it is starting to cut in a bit around the neck and is uncomfortable so got to look for one that is comfortable would like to see yours EOS

I’ve been looking around at after-market straps for my camera – got any pics of this strap?
I’m currently considering getting an R-Strap as I like the idea of hanging it off a shoulder, rather than around the neck.

Thanks EOS20.
I’ve seen a few around that include slightly larger or additional (strategically placed pockets) for including a spare battery and even a filter.

Thanks for adding the photo of the strap.
I like the idea of the quick releases at each end.
Can the memory card holders be removed from the strap?
I don’t think I’d have much use for them, as I normally have a camera bag over my shoulder anyway.
