Customer Review: The best money can buy
Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say - it's just a camera strap, but the producer put all his pride in this product. There is nothing anyone could make better - nice to work with something just perfect - quality, worksmenship, user friendliness, looks. Never encountered a better strap before in the past 35 years... Commendable!
It comes with a small attached pocket for 2 SD-cards. It can be very secure fastened to your camera because it has two clasps each side.
It looks good and professional. The cushened main part of the strap can easily separated from the camera with click off fasteners.
All in all, nothing could be better or more improved.
Customer Review: good and stylish strap

the plastic joints is a weak point if you have to hike in tropical forest like me. It is easy broke and you have no way to join this point in forestCustomer Review: Great quality, but sort of short.
Summary: 4 Stars
First off, the build quality and comfort of this strap is excellent. I read a few comments that said the quick-release was so easy to hit that the camera might call off my neck... I played with it a few times to see if I could get it to fall off my neck but everything felt safe enough... I don't really think that's a big issue unless you plan on messing with the strap all day and possibly hitting the quick release on accident.
The one disappointment I had is that I wanted this strap to be pretty long, so the camera would be around my stomach, that would allow me to sling it across my chest and wear it on my hip, then swing it up to take a shot... unfortunately because of it's length, the camera more or less stayed a little lower than chest level on me, and when I swung it up I didn't have as much give as I would have liked to manipulate it.
So for the folks that said the strap was "way too long", I have to disagree... if you are looking for a "short strap", I think the slightly extra length in this one will make it very comfortable to wear without being too long, but for folks that *do* want a very long strap, you may need to look elsewhere.
Also the accessories pouch that goes on the strap is really handy, I was very happy with the strap all around (Except for the length issue). I have a friend who shoots semi-professionally and loves his Lowepro accessories so it seems like a pretty safe buy.
Customer Review: good, but a bit inconvenient
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this strap for a Canon 40D. I have always loved the neopreme straps, especially for long days of shooting. The padded part of this strap is a little thin and slides around a lot during the day. For short trips, it shouldn't be an issue, but for weddings is inconvenient. The extra card case will hold compact flash and is really convenient.
The biggest complaint I have is that the strap crosses the viewfinder when held for a vertical shot. And because the strap is so bulky in this area due to the clip, it is hard to move it away, which makes it inconvenient when switching from a horizontal to vertical shot.
Overall, a nice strap as long as you have some patience.
Customer Review: Useful Camera Strap
Summary: 4 Stars
Most Camera Straps are a mess: The straps for the expensive Nikon F6 disintegrates within weeks and looks like being in use since 20 years. The Lowepro Strap is solid, well designed as it allows fast release of the camera and as it has pockets for SD cards. The only reservation I have it that it still does not keep well on your shoulder but is slipping off despite of the special surface. Why is it not possible to design better surfaces for the straps? Anyway, I found this product the best available on the market and have equipped my cameras with it. Should you buy several and use one for a "old-fashioned" film camera (like the F6) you can detach the SD card pocket and use it as a second one for full disk with your digital camera strap!
