2 out of 5 stars Not long enough   May 19, 2008

Overall I'd say not worth the money. I'm still looking for a better after market strap for my D200. This one is too short to wear across the body if you're tall like I am.


5 out of 5 stars 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.


4 out of 5 stars 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.



5 out of 5 stars The best money can buy   March 29, 2008

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
