How do you hold your camera on a shoot.
I always prefer a camera on a strap and on my shoulders. I feel it is safe and convenient too.
I have seen some carry the camera even DSLRs in their hand when on a shoot.
Which do you prefer?

I feel unsafe to carry the camera on my shoulder. It can bang against something easily. I carrry it on my neck chest high. I use short neck strap.

It depends. Often, say when I hop out of the car for a roadside shot I hold the camera in my hand with a wrist strap. On longer walks I use a shoulder harness that puts the weight of the camera on my shoulders; I learned early not to put the weight on my neck. Even so, most of the time I hold the camera in my hand with the wrist strap on, mostly just to keep it in one place, not banging against me. But the shoulder strap allows me to have the use of both hands when I need them. say on rough terrain.
If I'm carrying it, as in ready to use, I have a hand (wrist) strap attached. It greatly reduces fatigue on my hand.
If I'll carry for a long while and not use it, I'll attach a strap to D-rings and carry cross shoulder. (Leaving the hand strap attached.)
If I'm shooting, my left hand goes under the lens.

I use wrist strap on all my cameras (DSLR/ML/P&S)

I sometimes carry my camera with the strap wrapped around my hand because I don't like things hanging on my neck.
Hand strap for short lens, neck strap for long lens attached to the lens foot.

When carrying longer distance when not in a bag shoulder strap or hand held for me straps are a nuisance when shooting

As soon as I pick up a camera, I put the strap around my neck.

I prefer no shoulder strap. Maybe a wrist strap sometimes.

Its in a shoulder hung bag until I am convinced of real reason to use it.
When I unbag it, its in my hands with neckstrap in use as a safety measure.
I always use an OP/TECH USA Cross Body Quick Adjust Camera Strap without the logo and rest my hand on the camera while walking.
This strap allows the camera to be brought to my eye in one motion ready to shoot.
It has a cut-resistant cable running through it and I can step through it or place it in my lap while eating and for anti-theft security.
OP/TECH products are a great value for the $ spent, and that makes me . . .
