 Why bother? March 7, 2008

Pros:
Better padding than factory strap
Memory card holder
Cons:
Bulky
Memory card holder (SD cards in plastic sleeve want to fall out, and it gets in the way)
Who should buy the Lowepro Transporter? I would say no one. It came free as a bonus with my Pentax K10D, and I tried it out for about an hour before I took it off.
The memory card holder is sort of handy, until your memory cards fall out. I had some A-Data SD cards in plastic cases and the Velcro didn't close well over them so they had a tendency to try to work their way out. It also kept falling into my face on vertical shots and also made it hard to grab the camera. I tried the memory card holder on both sides and it was inconvenient. When I went to put the camera in my case, the LowePro slingshot 100, the memory card holder was also in the way. What was supposed to be convenient was very inconvenient.
I wouldn't buy one of these for any price, and I am glad it was free. The strap part was fine, but I could not justify paying $20 for this.
 Really nice strap for our XT February 25, 2008

Great strap!
It was tricky searching for a strap that can be adjusted to fit both me and my husband (I am 5'5" and he's 6'2"). The ones we've tried are either too short for him or too long for me. This one can be adjusted easily and fits both of us perfectly.
We love the quick release since we store our camera in a separate top load bag (Lowepro). Just un-snap and stow the strap away for later use.
The little pocket for the memory card is especially handy in times when I leave my camera bag at the house altogether.
Very nice padding, clean stitching throughout the strap. I highly recommend this product.
Excellent strap! February 19, 2008

I've been using this strap for nearly a year now, and I've found it to be quite exellent!
The padding is far more comfortable than the OEM strap that came with my DSLR, and the nylon makes it cooler to wear in hot weather than the neoprene strap I've used on my other SLR for several years.
When working on a tripod, the quick-release buckles are extremely handy, leaving only the two short sections attached to the camera, without the rest of the strap dangling, preventing accidental snags by passers-by.
Finally, we come to the built-in memory case. I've begun shooting in RAW, so having quick access to additional memory cards is important to me, and the convenience of having them right at my fingertips is a big plus. And when it comes time to download the images for editing, I can just pop off the case and slip it in my pocket to take to the office, and not have to lug my whole gadget bag along with me.
All in all, a five-star piece of gear, and well worth the upgrade.

although this product seems like it is very well designed, in actual fact, it is very bulky once it is fitted onto the camera. ended up using the original camera strap that came with the camera. don't get this

It's very comfortable on the neck. Not sure as to why you would need a quick release on it though. If you have two $2000.00 cameras, why would you worry about sharing a $16 strap? I would rather have two without the quick release on them.
