If you're in the market for a great tacticool sling (aka strap) for your camera. Check out the Tareinco Adaptable Camera Sling (http://www.tareinco.com/tareinco-adaptable-camera-sling-all-colors-and-camo/). I have had this one for a few weeks now and I'm really dig'n it:

I can't do straps around the neck. Drives me nuts.
I have a BlackRapid Sport 2 in my future. Over-the-shoulder with a strap to keep it off the neck is heaven to me: 
That said, I have a custom rig that hangs my camera over my shoulder from my Camelbak pack. Works like a charm. Someday I'll post pics. |

Quoted: I ditched neck straps altogether. Hand strap is where it's at, especially if you find your camera on a tripod 87% of the time. I might be moving this way as I am spending more and more time with my camera on a tripod for tabletop, macro and landscapes. Currently using the Op/Tech straps and slings, they get switched around depending on activity. |

I bought one of the generic Black Rapid straps on ebay –– this one
I use it sometimes. The neck strap does get heavy at times, especially with a battery pack and some heavy glass, but I find myself using the neck strap more in crowds because I feel more secure with it right in front of me where I can see it. I tend to use the sling more for nature photography, or if I have the dog with me, etc. I think it's just a personal style thing, I bought the sling in the first place because of all the great reviews about them, so people definitely like them. |

No sore neck after walking around with a 70-200 2.8 hanging off my camera. |

I like the large adjustment range, and the fastex buckle is easy to detach for static use. |
