The strap on the ist D is amazingly comfortable . but that may only be
because I"m still wearing puffed up winter jackets...
I have the strap around my neck, but carry the small camera bag on my
shoulder and rest the camera on it... or on a belly pack, and
I wear a stock boy's support on my waist if I'm out for a long time..
helps when I've got the camera to my eye.

I use a hand grip and an open bag with a shoulder strap. Yes, it could fall out
but its deep and I can extract the camera quickly.

Subject: Re: Thoughts between the two
Reading that blog I see that I'm not alone in my frustrations with
camera straps. I hate anything, including camera's and ties, hanging
from my neck. The short standard camera neck straps are extremely
annoying. The camdapter hand strap combined with a Optech shoulder
strap is what I use now. I'll try the camdapter sling and the next
option is the Luma.
Maybe mounting an L bracket is an option but L brackets on the K20
block the little door on the left side...

Thanks for the tip. Mounting a QR adapter on the sling is a good idea.
Since I'm using the camdapter with the strap, the Slingstrap makes
most sense. This thread got me thinking again and a free shipping
coupon from camdapter made me bite.

Never noticed the Luma Loop. I was thinking about the Blackrapid,
Sun-Sniper or Camdapter Slingstrap. Since I don't want to remove my QR
plate the only option was the camdapter sling. This Luma Loop has an
extra long option.
Now I don't know...
I have the Sun-Sniper that has the screw-lock carabiner.

I use the Bogen/Manrfotto RC2 Rapid Connect Plate.

The Sun-Sniper's screw-lock carabiner clips easily to the metal loop on the
screw Bogen/Manrfotto uses to mount the RC2 plate to the bottom of the
camera.
I recently saw a different way of doing it. Attach a QR adapter to the sling
using the supplied tripod thread nut & mount the camera to the QR adapter
using the QR plate on the camera.
(Bogen/Manfrotto RC 2 version)
http://tinyurl.com/6638n28
The Quick Release plate stays on the camera and the Quick Release adapter
stays on the sling. Easily dismount the camera from the sling when you want
to mount it on the tripod.
The reason I prefer the Sun-Sniper is the steel wire woven into the strap to
reduce the chance a thief will be able to cut the strap and steal your
camera. I think mounting a QR adapter on the sling might negate that
protection.
