    DSLR Camera straps

    Sister-in-law has instructed me to source a strap for Chrimbles for her fella's Canon EOS 400D because he doesn't like the honking great Canon logo emblazoned on it.

    Does anyone have any good recommendations in this dept? At the moment I'm looking at a Lowepro Transporter but if there's some particularly posh one anyone knows of that'd make a good present?

    Re: DSLR Camera straps

    That looks as good a neck strap as you can find in most places. An alternative is a wrist strap like this:

    Re: DSLR Camera straps

    I vote for this Kenro neoprene strap for £7.39 delivered. Unlike the regular straps, you find the heavy lenses don't cause a constriction on your jugular vein...! It has a lovely gel-like feel to it, yet is quite chunky and well made.

    Ebay is flooded with these things - there are various versions from about £6 and up, delivered. Wouldn't mind one myself.
