very good replacement [Posted on 2008-08-08]
I didn't really have any complaints with the original Canon strap on my camera, aside from the rough edges that seemed to dig into my neck and/or shoulders if I was carrying it for more than a few minutes (plus I didn't want a huge "CANON" logo on me, may as well pin a big "rob me, please" sign on there too!).
I wasn't really in the market for a new strap but noticed this in a store and thought "why not". The pad, though much smaller than the original Canon strap, slides to accommodate different positions and is much softer. I wore this camera for hours on end when I was on vacation and it didn't wear me down or cause me pain. Only issue is that the grip texture takes up very little area on the pad, which means it doesn't hold onto your shoulder so well if you're carrying it by your side.
The fasteners/buckles are a great touch. If/when you don't need the strap, you can detach it and just go full handheld. Great for pick-up/put-down situations where you want it easy to get at, but the strap would hang in the way or get caught on stuff (in my case, helping my family with home remodeling).
Finally, the little pocket that is velcroed to the strap is very handy. I have a backup CF card and a lens cloth folded up in it. This makes it so you don't even have to clutter your pockets with camera gear.
Camera straps are almost like clothing, so everyone is going to have their preferences. If you have a chance, go to a store and check it out. I would recommend this strap for people who plan on traveling or just being out with their camera for extended periods of time. In this price range straps don't get much better.

Camera strap is comfortable, and able to carry extra memory cards.
Recieved my order even before the scheduled date.
Definitely would recommend this product.
A must for any DSLR owner. [Posted on 2008-10-15]
I take sports pictures using a telephoto lens. The Lowepro is much more comfortable than the other straps I've used. Good price and great quality!
Nice strap [Posted on 2008-10-30]
I am a big guy, the strap could stand to be longer. It is very well thought out aside from that. Double "stays" on each end so it is not likely to come un-done accidentally. The storage for extra memory cards is great. Stitching is tight and good quality heavy thread. It also has quick release clips on each end. I especially like this when using my tripod - no straps blowing into the photo. All-in-all very nice.
Camera fell, do not buy! [Posted on 2008-12-13]
I received the Lowepro Transporter strap for free with the purchase of a Lowepro camera backpack. DO NOT buy or use this camera strap! I was dumb enough to put it on my camera (Canon 40D with the Canon 24-70mm L-series lens). I had the camera around the neck and one shoulder. While I was photographing and moving around and shifting the camera from my front to my side, one of the quick release buckles released, and my camera hit the concrete floor from walking hight. Let me tell you that the quick release buckles respond to touch extremely well. If you accidentally grab the strap in the wrong place, the release buckle will open. I was in shock. I had a nice repair bill from Canon. I am outraged that there are no fail-safes in place that could have prevented this from happening when I'm busy photographing. I would not recommend this camera strap to anyone. It may not happen to you, but it CAN happen. Lowepro, if you read this, take camera straps with quick release buckles off the market. They're a lawsuit waiting to happen.
