Neckstrap comes useful when I need to change lens...
i second this... but a good neckstrap is important to reduce the strain.
i hate neckstraps too
handstraps were around for quite some time already (more than 10 years)
most of the time the Nikon neckstrap is used as a wriststrap usually. i have an optech neckstrap that is used for the neck. optech is good. it supports the camera weight - not neck supporting the weight.
Cathay photo peninsula. Ask for discount. It is around 50% discount.Where to get Optech?
I use both handstrap and neckstrap on my DSLR, as I find both useful. the neckstrap is useful if I am carrying too much thing in my backpack. I hang the camera around the neck to prevent my back from breaking. which also help balancing back and forth.If you don't carry a bag, then use a neckstrap. Personally I hate neckstrap cos it lets the camera swing too much when you're in a hurry. If you have a bag, then go for a hand strap.
Previously when handstraps were unheard of, I would wrap the neckstrap around my hand till its fairly tight; much like a handstrap. Camera body+zoom lens+motor drive+flash+12 AA batteries = very good workout.
