Camera strap help

[Adrenalin]

I've had the strap that came with my camera but I really need a better one.

Things that I want in the strap:

• longer strap (I like to wear the strap over my neck, across my chest and to add to that, I'm not exactly skinny! )
• Comfort
• Ease of movement from my side then back to shooting position.

I'd like to get one asap, let me know what you recommend.

Anything that is neoprene will do fine. Just go to the camera store and look at which ones they have.

Well, after reading some searched threads, it appeared like I should ask for opinions. They seem inexpensive enough, I wanted to avoid getting one just to have the strap break and damage the camera from making the wrong choice. I was also having trouble finding info on longer straps.

I actually saw that thread and thought about doing it, but it was from a year ago, so I didn't even pull it up.

Same! lol

I've never heard of any new, decent ones, breaking. Like I said, my Quantaray one is quite long, I don't have the tallest torso, but I'm almost 6', and at the length I have it at, my camera hits my groin area lol and it's not even at its longest. I forget where I got it, but if you go to North Tampa Photo I'm sure they have it or similar.

^I'll sell you mine for a price. Not like they were free or anything

I just found my strap the other day, I thought I had lost it but it got kicked under my bed. I'm glad it's back home

With my elite (read sarcasm) searching skills, the Quantaray strap seems to be out of stock or unavailable everywhere. The spec's that I have seen, show it to be longer like you mention. I will call North Tampa Photography tomorrow and see what they've got, not much on their website. Thanks Michael.
