I'm still waiting....***tear***

I got the strap, but not the stickers yet. From what I understood, they were being shipped seperately.

No stickers yet...they were going to ship separately.

Too bad. Wanted the stickers more than the strap.

00silvergt · 05-23-2008

LOL...^ what would you do with the stickers?

aam1234 · 05-23-2008

See, the family doesn't go to my site often, just rarely. So thought of either giving them the stickers or stick some somewhere to remind them when they visit.

Brilliant, eh

I'm putting the stickers on the bottom of my son's skateboard.

Am I the only photographer here who doesn't use a neck strap?

aam1234 · 05-23-2008

My friend doesn't and broke his 1DIII because of that

Things like that happen. I thought I'd be in the minority. I know that I won't drop my camera because "I thought the strap was around my neck" It won't get snagged by the strap and pulled off a table. I won't snag a lens or other accessory and pull it out of a bag by the loose strap. I won't get it caught by something as I'm walking by. It never falls in front of the lens when I'm going after a suddenly occurring shot. And my neck doesn't carry the weight of a considerably heavy load on one of those 12+ hour days.

I use a neck strap and the Canon E-1 hand grip. It is too easy for the camera for slip.

Good points there, S45 (if I may call you that). Personally, I feel kind of "naked" without a strap, the same feeling when going out without a wrest watch or a mobile phone. I'm sure you know what I mean.

As for weight, I support the cam with my left hand to lessen the weight on the neck when walking around.

One thing to consider though. Many of the things you mentioned could be avoided if you have a strap with clip-on ends (don't know what they are called in English). The SM strap doesn't have those, btw.

Oh, and I hated Canon's strap for not being able to remove it when mounting the cam on a tripod.

Call me anything but late to dinner.

Strap/No Strap
Canon/Nikon
Film/Digital
Revolver/Semi-Automatic
Tuh-mate-oh / Tah-mah-toe

Prefrences and we all have valid reasons. I wasn't trying to sway opinions just wondered if anyone else went strapless.

Only with my wife's point and shoot.
