I use one like this:

I just found this on the web.  I forget what brand I have.  I also have
a velcro watch band with a carabineer key chain to connect it to the
wrist strap.  Easy to hold, always ready, the hand grip takes the
weight, and it can't actually fall.  Aside from the a better shooting
arrangement, I found that (at least for me), the camera would swing on
the neck strap and whack into things.  This is more secure, although it
does tie up one hand.  OTOH <g>, it makes a better weapon this way.

weight  around my neck or even on my  shoulder.

Interesting. Not the only one that  gets tired of camera around neck.

I've never really tried a wrist strap.  Which I'd want if I was just
holding 
it all the time. (I hold it too sometimes,  off my neck, but I never
leave it 
without a strap connection to me for very  long.) Course, if *I* fall
down, 
camera goes too. But the one time I have fallen  down in recent years,
boy I was 
really grabbing that camera. Stupid, I might  have been hurt.
