Thanks!! I read you're description of that in another thread. I haven't yet attached the strap.
From the very beginning i've suggested one not hold this camera like a compact. I'm trying out my platform method, which is to hold the camera as pictured in the User Manuals for SLR's. That brings the LCD about 8' - 10" in front of my nose (not my eyes). I could adjust the strap so that it is firm at that distance.
