I am looking for a good camera strap that is comfortable, easy to access my camera quickly and has a quick release feature. I am looking at BlackRapid RS-W1 Ballistic Nylon Women's Strap. Has anyone used one? Can you give me your opinion of one? Thanks!

I have OP/Tech straps for my cameras, and I have the OP/Tech double strap to carry two cameras. They have the quick release, and they're very comfortable.

I use the Black Rapid but check out "Cotton Carrier" for an interesting alternative to a strap. They are relatively new to the market and while I haven't used their system yet I'm looking at it very closely.

I recommend ANY strap that does NOT attach to the cameras tripod socket. OpTech is my choice, fine quality at a very reasonable price. I have one OpTech Pro Strap that I bought in 1982 and am still using it today, never a hint of a failure, especially with the quick release buckles on them.

Has anyone got a price on the cotton carrier? Thanks

op/tech, reasonable price, comfy.
canon straps are piece of, I mean less than optimal.

Canons factory straps are no worse than Nikons. Neither manufacturer seems to want to provide a truly useable strap option. But that opens the door for the aftermarket to fill that slot. And they are doing a bang-up job of it!

I have bought four of these. They are REALLLY soft and cheap too. They' are not quick-release. They attach the same way as the manufacture's "Steal Me" strap. They are so soft that I put one on my lens bag.

I had a strap like that on something, but I have no idea what.

I bought it a year or so ago, and like it, especially to carry 2 cameras. I think it was a bit over $100, including the vest, hardware and an extra, holster, which is excellent quality and used frequently. It easily holds my D800 with the 28-300 lens. From their Ad, it seems they have added a few refinements and you can purchase the items/modules that you need. For carrying cameras for any period of time, they work well for me. I still use my camera strap (lug attached) and a small safety attachment for a second camera, but have never had an issue with accidental disconnect.
