While I liked the comfort of the Tamrac N-25 camera strap, I found the quick-release hardware to be problematic. In many years of photography, I've seldom had cause to remove a strap. I think most photographers will never use the quick-release feature. Unused features usually aren't a problem, but the buckles could damage the display screens of digital cameras. I think most photographers would be better off with the buckle-less N-19.

The neoprene is so much more comfortable that the factory Nikon strap it replaced. I like the quick release aspect as well.

I do have two major gripes about this strap though. The nylon webbing at the base of the neoprene which connects to the camera is definitely inferior to the factory strap. It looks and feels "cheap" by comparison. Gripe number two is that the webbing (and the strap overall) is so short that the plastic buckles are ironic since there is a total of less than 3/4" of possible adjustment. One of the great things I read about this strap was that it was great for wearing around the neck and one shoulder which is my favorite way to carry my camera but the overall strap is really too short to do that. At 5'9", 175 lbs, I'm not a big guy and this thing barely fits in the manner mentioned so it's too tight to raise to my face for shooting.

Overall, I suppose it's just ok. It's super comfortable around the neck or one shoulder but it's too short and has basically zero adjustment to personalize the fit.

Gee, no sour farts for me. My strap smells fine and is extremely comfortable. The quick release is handy but what I really love is that the strap itself is squishy and springy, which makes it very very easy on the neck - especially on those long days shooting a wedding or a sports event. Honestly, couldn't recommend it more. Great stuff.

The N25 strap is comfortable and its quick release is handy. But, I hate to say it, the rubber smells like sour farts. And before long, your collar does too, all on its own. Maybe mine was improperly cured or something, but until such time as web sites have .pong files to let you sniff in advance, you might want to think twice.

I bought this strap to replace the original strap that came with my Nikon D40. I found the original strap to be uncomfortable to wear for any length of time. The Tamrac strap is extremely comfortable, and it stretches, which enables me to carry the camera at my side and raise it to take a picture. If for no other reason, I'd buy this simply because it is soft, strong and comfortable.

Love the strap, very comfortable. But if you are six feet tall or more and you want the camera to hand lower than the middle of your chest, look elsewhere. I havemine set to the longest possible setting and it is barely long enough.

Its name says it all! - I assume N25 refers to its width in millimeters, just right for an SLR, and black so you are not a walking billboard for the camera manufacturer. The soft and stretchy neoprene makes carrying a camera much more comfortable, though it does not slide so easily as other materials. I could do without the quick release - it just adds clunkiness to the strap and though the quick-releases seem strong they could be a weak point? The rest of the construction seems very well-made and I particularly like the way each camera attachment strap has two friction buckles - other straps I've had with only a single buckle have sometimes slipped and become detached. So, streamline the thing doing away with the quick releases would earn five stars, but in the meantime it's four and I'm still looking!

Pros: Comfortable ... VERY comfortable, Length is fine
Cons: Might decouple itself from your Camera !!!

I've had this strap for about a year, and on Multiple occasions
I've found that the fasteners that secure the strap to the camera get very loose.
To the point where twice I've had to do acrobatics to catch the camera before it hit the ground (grasping to the remaining strap that is still connected to the camera, or the camera itself)

It's a comfortable strap, but either i'm applying to much pressure to the strap when i get into a good stable shooting position, or my setup is too heavy (D7000 + 50mm f/1.2 - Which to me does not scream heavy setup).

The part of the strap that loops through the camera rings are way too short. The issue it causes is that the strap will undo itself. This is a really big issue, which has ultimately led me to search for another strap.

It's a great strap for about a year. But will ultimately lead you to look for another strap out of fear of dropping your camera.

(This works fine on my much lighter film cameras and rangefinders.So if you're using maybe M43 Olympus/Panasonic cameras, Film Cameras like the Nikon FA/FM3A/FE. This might be the strap for you for THOSE cameras.

just be warned.)

I bought this camera strap because the one that came with my new Canon 60d is very uncomfortable to wear. When you carry a heavy camera and lens around you want comfort for your neck. I highly recommend this product.

Overall I like this strap however I find myself not using it because it is to short. I was hoping for a strap that I could have over my neck and shoulder and still be able to take a picture without have to take it off. If it were not for the length I would recommend it.
