Op/Tech USA Classic Strap

| 0 Comments

One of the things I've always disliked about the Canon EOS 20D has been the low-quality camera strap that is included with it. Most likely the reason for this is that if you are buying a professional-grade camera, you're going to end up buying a better strap, but if they don't buy a better strap, the user can become a walking advertisement for Canon.


There's a couple of problems with the Canon freebie strap. First, it's one of those basic nylon/plastic straps, with a small patch of leather to provide grip -- while it's durable, it's not the most comfortable of straps. Second, it has the words "Canon", "EOS" and "Digital" boldly running across the strap making it easy for would-be thieves to identify it as a digital Canon camera.


After nearly a year of owning my camera, I finally bought my replacement strap, the
Classic Strap from Op/Tech USA. The Classic Strap is made of soft neoprene, is extremely comfortable to wear, has no identifying marks whatsoever, and even includes quick disconnects. It can be worn as a shoulder or a neck strap, and can be used for cameras, video cameras and binoculars.
