One of the reviews says that the neck strap is useless. Is that the general consensus? That is one of the reasons I want it.

It allows you to have it out with out having it in hand - seems pretty much what neck straps are meant to do. It isn't notably cheaply made nor uncomfortable. One has to thread the ribbon through the buckles upon arrival, but this is straight forward. Perhaps the reviewer was unable to figure out how to do so?

It has stood up to a couple of years of occasional use. I usually wear it cross body. I don't understnd why someone would call it useless.

I don't think it's useless. I like that it has one making it easy to carry around and snap photos very quickly while sightseeing. Took it with me to Europe twice. I love this case so much for its functionality and style. Hope this helps :)

The neck strap is not detachable. However, I actually wear it around my neck all the time, but snap off the front cover/half when I know I will be using it a lot (it just gets in the way and it doesn't dangle very well off the bottom snap. leaving on the main body of the case, it gives you a place to grip the camera. Not sure what someone meant by "useless." a better design would have been "detachable" but, I do hang it around my neck using the strap

I use my neck strap all the time and have never had a problem with it. I love it.

I have actually tried it, and with the heavy battery weight, it is not really practical or easy to balance around your neck. i typically have to find a flat surface to set it on, or something sturdy to wrap it around.

Yeah this should work well for you! I really like mine, I don't have to strain my neck so often.

Well there was a neck strap with mine. It could probably be used as a shoulder strap but it's a bit fine for a shoulder strap. TBH a shoulder strap on this camera might be a little overkill. It's a very light and small camera. I am not using the neck strap, and just use a wrist band just in case I loose grip of it.

Yes it came with a neck strap , I bought the xtra warranty as my 13 yr old uses it as well but if it was for adult use only I think you be fine skippy the warranty we love the camera

In my opinion, the neck is way to thick, however, as it is a kit , you can customize the neck to your personal liking. I narrowed mine down with some serious sanding, and seems to work well. I do like the sound of this one.

I have not noticed it. The strap distributes the camera weight very well. Much more comfortable than a neck strap.

My opinion is the neck strap is too thin to be comfortable, but wouldn't technically *hurt.* A sensitive child might be bothered. Our strap broke within a week of purchase, so I sewed a new one using orange "jumbo rick rack" from my local sewing shop. I used the original strap to create small 1" loops in the holes, and then connected the wider DIY strap to those small loops. My son will wear these around the house for hours on end.

I have been using it. I wouldn't say it's better, or worse, different strengths. Ideally, a combination of both would be available, or better yet a modification that can be added to the women's strap.

yes it comes with a neck strap, I carry mine in my pocket, and don't use the strap much.

I ride with mine and it is very comfortable. I do sometimes not fasten the chest strap because it can "ride" up and get a little irritating. Hope this helps.

Not really. There is a built in spring loaded belt clip. That could be used to attach a neck strap.

I wouldn't say this strap is overkill. It's all about convenience and comfort. Even someone with a point-and-shoot could use this strap if they're going to be doing a lot of shooting in a day. It just depends on your preference. I didn't like having my camera hanging around my neck with the standard strap; over time my neck and shoulders would start to ache and I found myself fumbling around when trying to get my camera up and ready quickly. With this sling style strap, I literally just reach my right hand down and it grabs the camera in the same position I will be holding it when I bring it up to shoot. Up to you, but at this price point, it may be worth getting even if you only use it occasionally. I wouldn't say this strap is overkill. It's all about convenience and comfort.

Shoulder strap works well for me. Make sure it is adjusted so everything is in balance.

Yes! Neck king is great. Also check out the posture pump And the back nobber II!

Probably but why take the chance? I do not like this strap at all. I have the feeling that it will slip off of my shoulder all of the time. I would look at other devices. The thought is great the execution is not so good.
