I also eschew neck straps. For the above kind of walking about/hiking shooting, a Lowepro Photo runner works a charm (waist/shoulder belt with a quick-open top) so the camera can be put down and away somewhere safe. When in my hand, I use a Hakuba Grip-LH fitted to the camera. (I have to make a longer strap to accommodate the K10D with the battery grip on it, but I haven't used that yet.) I don't like carrying it without something to secure it to my hand, loosely. I've got pix of the Hakuba Grip-LH fitted to the DS somewhere on my website, I'll have to rustle them up.
