needs to be an other option, employ other brand neck strap

I use the neck strap, but carry the camera on my shoulder, or wrap the strap around my wrist. When I want it to be a little more secure, and I'm not immediately about to use it, I loop the strap over my head and across my body.

Kata strap which can be attached to a packpack (if it has the necessary fasteners). Very comfortable, far better than the included strap.

I never liked wearing cameras around my neck. I have tried different straps; shoulder strap, sling strap, wrist strap, but have ended up going back to this solution:

I use the neck strap, but carry the camera on my shoulder, or wrap the strap around my wrist.

...and

When I want it to be a little more secure, and I'm not immediately about to use it,

...I stuff the camera into my bag/backpack.

Shoulder straps, slings and backpacks for mine - anything but a neck strap, really. :-)

I'm using a Pentax neoprene neck strap - much more comfortable than the one included with the camera. Cheap, too.

[john.margetts]

I use very cheap and colourful Chinese neck straps on all my cameras - partly because they are cheap and partly because they are colourful.

OpTech sling strap on some, original strap on others, hippie strap on others. Tripods for the rest.

It depends on which camera and what I'm doing.

It depends on which camera and what I'm doing.

This is me, too. I use the included Pentax strap on my K-01, a Nikon wrist strap on my Q, and an Op/Tech strap on my K10D. Most times, I change out the strap on my cameras to something heavier or more comfortable than the factory strap. And I NEVER use them around my neck...it drives me crazy. lol I use them as shoulder straps. Hmmm...now that I think about it, I change out the straps on many of my camera bags, too.

I use an oldish (about 5 years old) leather strap by Luigi @Leicatime. Discrete, comfy, does not slip and does not shout "my brand is this, come rob me!"

[Kunzite]

My strap shouts: "It's just a Pentax, move on..."

[nabwong]

I like the sling. But I've also just gotten a belt holster and it's pretty nice to use the camera without a strap.

[pete-tarmigan]

Do you use a strap on your camera?
If so which strap and why.

I have the included neck strap on my K-50 but never really put it round my neck.

It depends. I use a neck strap when a small lens is mounted on the body. I use a sling strap when my 400mm f5.6 lens is mounted. I use no strap at all on the body when the 600mm f5.6 is mounted (I use the strap attached to the lens and hang it from one shoulder).

I could have put it more succinctly by writing: "All of the above"

[jcdoss]

I've tried different variants, but I've found I keep coming back to some kind of hand or wrist strap.

Right now, I use Op/Tech wrist straps when shooting. Carrying the camera, I either just hold it in my hand with the strap, or I stow it in a small shoulder bag.
