This neckstrap is made of nice quality leather. It is bigger than the stock neckstrap and more comfortable. The leather on the bottom is very soft and clings to your clothes thereby helping to prevent the strap from slipping off.

This neckstrap is a very good value and I recommend it.

I had a moment of angst while attaching this strap: Would I look pretentious carrying a point and shoot camera around on a thick leather strap that looks like it was made for a professional grade DSLR? Well, this concern quickly evaporated when I actually started carrying the camera. The strap, apart from being beautifully made, is considerably more comfortable than the one that came with my S3 IS. Tucking such a big strap into a reasonably-sized camera bag can be a bit vexing, but if you like to keep your camera out and ready for action, this strap is definitely the way to go.

actually, i purchased this strap for my Canon Rebel T1i because i didn't like the one that came with the kit. i like the idea of the Crumpler Industry Disgrace strap, but it looks huge and kind of overdesigned (not to mention that it's almost twice the cost.) i just wanted something simple. this leather strap fit the bill even though it has the words Canon and Powershot embossed on it. it is comfortable, solid and understated.

Does it work? Without a doubt. The leather is strong; the straps are adjustable and don't slip; there are no deficiencies of design. However, it is a bit bulky and maybe a bit too much for a lowly Powershot S-series camera (and I say that as a proud owner of such a beast). Still, the leather makes you feel like you're a pro photographer, so there's some psychological satisfaction in it. The only downsides are the bulk and that the straps are a bit complicated to figure out at first.

I really like how comfortable and secure this strap feels around my neck.

I also recommend anyone who gets the Canon PowerShot Pro Series S3 IS 6MP with 12x Image Stabilized Zoom get the camera case to protect and store their camera in.

It was much thicker than I thought it would be. It seems way to heavy for the CANON s2 is but works better on my heavier camera.

Excellent well made product. Just a tad too bulky but it looks like it will last forever.

I am a little confused by S.L.'s review,
"I had a moment of angst while attaching this strap: Would I look pretentious carrying a point and shoot camera around on a thick leather strap that looks like it was made for a professional grade DSLR? Well, this concern quickly evaporated when I actually started carrying the camera."

This strap ships without the means to attach it to a point and shoot camera, which in my case is a Canon S95. So unless S.L. has a secret way of connecting it, I fail to see how he attached it. I have been sitting here struggling with continuous key-rings and other test solutions, but so far, nothing works. This strap is meant for a big DSLR. I bought it based upon reviews from the people who said they use it with their point and shoots cameras. FAIL.

It was a good fit for my camera. I use it and it does what it is supposed to do.
