This strap is great in those situations where you are constantly alternating between reaching for your camera and doing some activity (partying, playing with the kids, or even just giving your hands a break).
Also, its nice not to have to always look for a safe place to rest your camera.
The strap is in fact metal on the inside for strength and clear plastic on the outside for scratch proofing.
A metal only strap would eventually scratch your camera's finish. Canon Metal Neck Strap 1 for All Elph Cameras, 34" Length
This is a lightweight and super-strong lanyard-style chain for your camera or whatever which probably could tow a car and yet looks lighter and more attractive than anything else on the market. of course, the cord attaching this to the camera is the limiting factor in overall strength. But it is the right length and allows you to tuck the camera into your pocket or hang full length.
I took my digital camera with the new strap on a recent 10 day trip. The strap was great; it's not too heavy, and long enough to get a good view with the camera. Thanks for your help in finding this strap.
I like this strap, but it is too long and not easily shortened. My camera hangs down to my belt and the camera is prone to swing out and hit things. I'd rather have it shorter so the camera rests higher on my chest. I can put my neck and one arm through it and it's not too tight and sits on my upper chest. Looks goofy though. Materials, construction and appearance are five stars, but function is most important to me.
I am a "Loser"! That is, is LOSE things all the time. Cell phones, digital cameras, my Garmin NUVI 200, even a cigar lighter! So, I started wearing them around my neck. Whether you're a loser like me, a photographer, sportsman, hiker, biker, fisherman, hunter, etc. neck straps can come in VERY handy.
I generally buy Qunataray-brand wrist and neck straps, which are also very nice and have the additional feature of a screw-type "barrel" that makes detaching the strap a breeze.
On the other hand, the Canon strap is MORE SUBSTANTIAL AND DURABLE, and the 34" length provides a LOT of flexibility: if using the strap with a cell phone or digital camera, for example, you can leave the strap around your neck and still use your device to its fullest.
This Canon strap is just right for my wife's Canon A710IS camera. Thin and easy to install on the camera, even fits in the same opening along with the wrist strap. The neck strap keeps the camera fron being accidently dropped, helpful at sporting events or zoo trips. I see no negatives at all. Easy to remove if only the wrist strap is desired. Amazon marketplace seller had it for about 1/2 of Canon's official store price. - Camera Neck Strap - Neckstrap - Canon - Camera Strap'
