** I still need WRIST STRAP opinions for my S2 **

[GoodAsGold]

I still haven't heard back from anyone regarding whether they use a wrist strap for my new S2 and what type and brand they might use. I'm ready to purchase one or two online, but I would love to have opinions first. Any thoughts?? Thanks!

It's at the bottom of this page: http://www.lensmateonline.com/newsite/order_S2_1.html

Yeah, this strap is very good!!!!
I love it...makes it very easily held and detaches in an instant without being cheap or weak!!
I would definitely suggest it!

Thanks for your suggestion, but I forgot to mention I didn't want a strap with a detachment or quick-release feature. I don't plan on using more than this camera and I'm worried it might detach accidently. I went ahead and ordered this one in gray: http://www.prostrap.com/EconomyBelt/EconomyBelt.html I chose the economy strap because I heard that sometimes the metal buckle can scratch your camera. I also wanted a bit less leather or bulkiness. I chose the buckle strap type because I have enough room for it to attach to the S2. I'll let you know how I like it after it arrives!

Well, I went to B&H's website and ordered three more wrist straps! When it rains, it pours! Sheesh. I'm in wrist strap frenzy here. I ordered the Op/Tech one without the quick disconnect and the Op/Tech model where it velcros around your wrist for added security. They only had the quick release with that one. I figure I can always use that on my SLR if need be. I have the OP/Tech neck strap for my Canon lle and it's comfortable. Lastly, I also ordered a little cheapie strap like the one I have on my A70. Why, I don't know! I guess it was so inexpensive, why not? :-) It's always good to have a spare, right? :rolleyes:

What would really be helpful is if you could post your opinions of all of the different straps that you bought after you have a chance to evaluate them all. Thanks.

You bet I will! :)

I didn't like the huge neck strap that comes with the S2 so I reused the wrist strap off my A75

I have the wrist strap on my A70, but since I'm keeping that camera, didn't want to use that one. I should be getting my "assortment" of wrist straps anyday now! :)

Have your wrist straps shown up yet? Was waiting for your review before I ordered one for my S2.

I'm sorry I didn't get back with my review. Okay, I have all of them now. The one that I liked the best is this one:

I bought the gray one and I really like the way it feels. I didn't want the larger Deluxe one because I had read where the metal on the buckles can scratch the side of your camera. Also, I like the size of the Economy belt model.

I wasn't as pleased with the OpTech neoprene cam strap. In fact, I wish I could return it but it wouldn't be worth the cost of shipping. It's okay, but I just like the way the ProStrap feels on my wrist better. And, leather is always nice.

The other strap I got was basically one like I have on my A70. It was a cheapie and I thought I could always use it if the other two didn't work out.

So, my recommendation is the ProStrap Economy belt type.Have your wrist straps shown up yet? Was waiting for your review before I ordered one for my S2.

I forgot to add that I also got an OPTech quick release strap that velcros snugly around your wrist. I'm going to use that one on my Canon 11e SLR. I hope the velcro holds and doesn't pull apart causing me to drop the camera.

I got my Pro Strap yesterday. I like it, feels good once it is on the wrist. The actual adjustments and strap retainer loops limit the way I would like to set it up and make taking it on an off a two handed operation. Maybe when I use it more I will get the hang of it. Well worth the money, the neck strap was such a pain for my style off shooting.

Not sure what the consensus is but I originally had the lens cap hanging off the left side of he camera attached to the neck strap. Seemed like the lens cap was always in the way. When I switched to the wrist strap I attached the lens cap to the camera right strap slots then attached the wrist strap. The lens cap seems much more out of the way, easy to palm if you don't want it to dangle.

Now I have to find a better case. I bought the Canon recommended case and it is marginally useful accept for storing the camera. I want a minimum size that I can use like a holster, that the camera slides in and out of easily on my belt. I don't need or want extra pockets, I tend to carry extra batteries and SD cards in my pocket or a separate belt pouch.
