 Quality Camera Strap May 7, 2008
This Camera strap works great for my Nikon D40. The strap that came with my camera wasn't as nice and was sorta ugly. This strap is much better.
Good, but more bulky than it should be March 31, 2008

I got this item as a free supplement when I bought a Lowepro Nova 4 bag during their promotion campaign @ Amazon, so I should not really complain.
Why would someone like to buy this strap to replace the original one coming with the camera?
In my case I wanted to have an extra place to store small items - like a hotshoe cover, or a spare SD card - something you would like to have easily reachable and at the same time secure (so that you do not loose it accidentally). A wider strap was another consideration. From this perspective the Lowepro Transporter Camera Strap meets my needs.
But...
I like the functionality of this strap, but not the implementation.
The detachable strap sounds as a strange concept to me. Quick-release buckles, which, as stated by Lowepro, "make switching from one camera body to another fast and easy" is a big drawback for me. I own several cameras, but I have never ever been in situation where I had to detach straps and reattach them back to another camera. I am convinced that every camera must have its own strap.
Moreover, the buckles make the strap more bulky. The plastic parts can touch the camera body and affect its finish. Also, the buckles contribute to another problem reported by some users - limited strap length adjustment.
Overall...
The quality of this product is good, but it is not for every camera and for everyone.
I really doubt, if it is a good idea to use this strap on a small camera.
The detachable strap is a very questionable "know-how" of Lowepro.

What can I say - it's just a camera strap, but the producer put all his pride in this product. There is nothing anyone could make better - nice to work with something just perfect - quality, worksmenship, user friendliness, looks. Never encountered a better strap before in the past 35 years... Commendable!
It comes with a small attached pocket for 2 SD-cards. It can be very secure fastened to your camera because it has two clasps each side.
It looks good and professional. The cushened main part of the strap can easily separated from the camera with click off fasteners.
All in all, nothing could be better or more improved.

the plastic joints is a weak point if you have to hike in tropical forest like me. It is easy broke and you have no way to join this point in forest
Great quality, but sort of short. March 26, 2008
First off, the build quality and comfort of this strap is excellent. I read a few comments that said the quick-release was so easy to hit that the camera might call off my neck... I played with it a few times to see if I could get it to fall off my neck but everything felt safe enough... I don't really think that's a big issue unless you plan on messing with the strap all day and possibly hitting the quick release on accident.
The one disappointment I had is that I wanted this strap to be pretty long, so the camera would be around my stomach, that would allow me to sling it across my chest and wear it on my hip, then swing it up to take a shot... unfortunately because of it's length, the camera more or less stayed a little lower than chest level on me, and when I swung it up I didn't have as much give as I would have liked to manipulate it.
So for the folks that said the strap was "way too long", I have to disagree... if you are looking for a "short strap", I think the slightly extra length in this one will make it very comfortable to wear without being too long, but for folks that *do* want a very long strap, you may need to look elsewhere.
Also the accessories pouch that goes on the strap is really handy, I was very happy with the strap all around (Except for the length issue). I have a friend who shoots semi-professionally and loves his Lowepro accessories so it seems like a pretty safe buy.
