I've used a Tamrac strap for nearly two years. No complaints so far. It has two nice pockets for extra cards, and it's easy to take off. IMO thats very handy when mouting the camera at a tripod, gets the strap out of the way. Bought it for about 15$ at B&H. But there might be better straps out there.
