IMO to secure it round your hand in case you lose grip of your camera...(that is when you not using the neck strap)

correct me if I am wrong

you can rest your hand with it hanging on your hand for fast reaction

It makes the brand of my camera more visable on the side... i've yet to find a way for ppl to see the brand from all angle... ;p

anyway, handstrap is to strap hand lor.. dun think too much lah, photography stuff are never cheap... 1 small piece of plastic to cover the flash mount also cost 12 bucks... din see anybody ranting yet...

Handstrap is useful when taking vertical photos, only if you are using DSLR/SLRs, cause of the heavier weight.
