When I've been shooting at races and events and stuff i've been carrying the body and the big lens by the strap on my shoulder. The other lenses go in my cargo pockets. This way i can carry, two extra lenses batteries and cf cards. While i'm at the event however i'll usually forget the strap and just carry the camera with one hand hanging down.

I like the Tamrac strap with the padded leather section in the middle and the QR buckles. I never used the Canon strap, it just looked like it would be uncomfortable.

I carry my camera in my hand by the grip when shooting. I have never had a strap on any of my cameras. Staps seem like they would get in the way.
I use a Lowepro Compu Treker for trips or stomping off through the woods. |

I used to use an elastic strap I made. Hang camera around neck, strap around chest just above the camera and over the camera strap. When I wanted to shoot, stretch strap out and fish camera up to free it. Didn't have to be very snug. No swaying when hiking.

I usually carry camera in my hand or with the strap around my neck. I seem to remember about 20-25 years ago, there was a ?harness? that criss-crossed on your back, and held the camera against your chest while walking. The cool thing was, that when you wanted to take a picture, you could readily pull the camera up to your eye without unfastening anything. I just did a google on camera harness and came up with this:
Camera Harness
Seems like a good idea, anyone tried this before?

The ABA (American Birding Association) also have a few types:
The Slide & Flex Bino-System
The Link Binocular and Camera Strap

I use the "Creative" stretchy/nylon/acrylic bag/pouch that the camera I use on my laptop came in to carry my "real" camera around. I find that it's versatile and yet durable enough to withstand some light abuse. It has a velcro seal, so it's easy and quick to pop it out for those impromptu shots.

For day hikes I use the Velocity. It is a sling pac that can be worn either in the front or back. It slides back to front very easy for access. I normally wear it on my front and then if I take the camera out for a shot I just slide it to my back out of the way. Works well. I imagine you could wear it with a full pack if you wanted.

| I saw a strap advertised somewhere that goes around your torso to hold the camera to your body, similar to what Robt described . I've just flicked through the B&H catalogue but can't find it there, I know I saw it somewhere. Perhaps you could tailor make your own. |

As far as bags go, I like the Stealth Reporter bags from Lowe. For longer trips/hikes, a belt through the belt slot on the bag does a lot to transfer the load from the one shoulder to the hips. Then when I get tha camera out or am shooting and walking at the same time, I just unbuckle the belt.
