Lowepro Transporter Camera Strap
The Transporter was designed for the professional or core enthusiast photographer who works with multiple cameras, binoculars or other photography equipment. The unique design includes a comfortable, non-slip shoulder pad that stays in place even when the strap is adjusted to a variety of lengths or swung completely out of the way while using another piece of equipment. A detachable memory card wallet provides quick access to cards while shooting. Two quick-release buckles make switching from one camera body to another fast and easy while double ladder-locks ensure a secure connection between the strap and the camera for maximum stabilization.

Lowepro Transporter Camera Strap Reviews
I am a big guy, the strap could stand to be longer. It also has quick release clips on each end. Stitching is tight and good quality heavy thread. All-in-all very nice. I especially like this when using my tripod - no straps blowing into the photo. It is very well thought out aside from that. The storage for extra memory cards is great. Double "stays" on each end so it is not likely to come un-done accidentally.
The Lowepro is much more comfortable than the other straps I've used. Good price and great quality. I take sports pictures using a telephoto lens.
Camera strap is comfortable, and able to carry extra memory cards. Definitely would recommend this product. Recieved my order even before the scheduled date.
If/when you don't need the strap, you can detach it and just go full handheld. This makes it so you don't even have to clutter your pockets with camera gear. Finally, the little pocket that is velcroed to the strap is very handy. In this price range straps don't get much better. I wore this camera for hours on end when I was on vacation and it didn't wear me down or cause me pain. I wasn't really in the market for a new strap but noticed this in a store and thought "why not".
If you have a chance, go to a store and check it out. I didn't really have any complaints with the original Canon strap on my camera, aside from the rough edges that seemed to dig into my neck and/or shoulders if I was carrying it for more than a few minutes (plus I didn't want a huge "CANON" logo on me, may as well pin a big "rob me, please" sign on there too). Only issue is that the grip texture takes up very little area on the pad, which means it doesn't hold onto your shoulder so well if you're carrying it by your side.
The pad, though much smaller than the original Canon strap, slides to accommodate different positions and is much softer. Camera straps are almost like clothing, so everyone is going to have their preferences. Great for pick-up/put-down situations where you want it easy to get at, but the strap would hang in the way or get caught on stuff (in my case, helping my family with home remodeling).
I would recommend this strap for people who plan on traveling or just being out with their camera for extended periods of time. I have a backup CF card and a lens cloth folded up in it. The fasteners/buckles are a great touch.
when I am in shooting in portrait orientation, this container often annoy me by blocking my view. I use it on Canon 40D for 1 month, around 3-4 times a week and one of the ring broke (the one that connected to the camera). I am disappointed with the product. The straps has little pockets that store 2 extra Compact Flash cards,. The shoulder strap is fine and better than Canon strap that I get.
