As noted by others, the manufacturer straps that ship with most DSLRs are barely adequate for lighter cameras and downright uncomfortable for heavier gear. I agree with the others this strap is very comfortable. The padded suede works as advertised. The strap in black is understated and elegant (to the extent that is possible). What I would like to add is that this strap is adjustable to a longer length than most straps. I'm over six feet tall, and the original Nikon straps on my D70s and D200 are too short for anything other than around the neck carriage with the camera hanging over my stomach, which is a dorky look and uncomfortable. This strap allows allows me to sling the camera over neck and shoulder, messenger style, and have it ride on my hip. The other great thing about this strap is that it is robust. This is especially true of the quick releases. I've tried other straps with similar releases, including one made by Nikon. None of them gave me any confidence and their releases seemed weak. If you're putting a heavy camera, vertical grip and long lens on the strap, you don't want to worry about the quick releases popping loose. You won't with this strap. The releases are strong. They click together very positively. I have no doubt the attachments on the camera body will pull out long before these releases fail. That's a great feeling while working in the field.
Be advised the suede padding is sewn to the woven canvas strap material and does not slide. Although comfortable, the suede will not slide around the neck as easily as a synthetic material. Accordingly, if you carry your gear like I do (above) you will need to slacken the strap a little to get the camera to shooting position because the strap will not be centered around your neck during carry. This is really a non-issue in my opinion, but something to consider when making a purchase. I really like this strap.Get more detail about Tamrac N45 Black Leather Padded QuickRelease Camera Strap (Black).
