Yes, I know what you mean. I find the standard Canon ones
worse, as they manage to itch too. The neoprene ones also
tend to have a bit of bounce in them, which, if you hit
the right "harmonic" while walking, gets your camera bouncing
wildly too. :-) Come to think of it, I *hate* that camera
strap (not really - I still find the Canon ones worse).

I'll have a look too, and keep an eye out for them when
shop-browsing (I can always find an excuse to go browsing).

This is what I think I'd like most. As a migraine sufferer, one
of the things I find that can exacerbate my migraine, or even help
bring it on, is the weight on the back of my neck from a camera
strap. After a long day walking around with the strap around my
neck, I can almost guarantee the beast'll be stirring and getting
the camera off the neck provides some mild relief.
I really like this harnass idea, and will definitely be getting
one to try out.
Thank, Moose.
