    I got tired of having my 5D MKII hanging around my neck and the neck strap always got in the way when I was shooting from a tripod. I've steadfastly rejected the use of a battery pack since I had one for my D30. Being old school the vertical release button was of limited value and the weight a battery grip adds and the special "bagging" requirements it demands made it a non-starter for me.

    This strap fits the camera well, is sturdy and secure on the camera and on my wrist. By carefully adjusting the small fiber strap that connects to the camera, I have even provided myself a finger whole through which I insert my middle finger giving me a secure grip on the camera with the strap around my wrist, on guard to protect my camera if my grip should slip.

    Everything else I tried was made for a small, light-weight point and shoot camera and left me feeling insecure both in my grip and in my equipment's safety.

    Not as nice as the padded Hakuba...

    ..that's been discontinued. It doesn't seem very substantial. I was a bit disappointed with it, but I couldn't find one as nice as the Hakuba. I don't like neck straps, so hopefully I will find a wrist strap more to my liking.

        I've been looking for a wrist strap for my Canon 60D for quite a while and stumbled upon this one. Exactly what I was looking for! It holds well onto the camera and it is comfortable to the wrist.

          Wide enough to be sturdy, but not so big it domimates the camera (G11 in my case). Much better for me than neck strap. Good price and good shipping.

          Comments about Canon WS-20 Wrist Strap:

          This is just the thing for a strap on for the Canon G11 or G12. The supplied over the neck camera strap from Canon works, but is too long and always seems to be getting in the way. This wrist strap is perfect. You can hold the camera while taking a picture and feel safe it's on your wrist and won't fall. The best thing is it's unobtrusive. There are other import straps cheaper but the part that actually attaches to the camera is corded material. This is real web strapping and it works the best.

                Good option when you don't need to carry G12 in a bag/pouch or want to use the included strap. Quick access to the camera and you don't look like a girl carrying a small purse over your shoulder (when using the included shoulder strap ).

                                  I bought this for my Canon Powershot G12 to use instead of the include neck strap. I'm glad I did.

                                  The strap is nothing at all like the wrist straps that come with smaller point and shoot cameras. Its similar to the build quality of the neck straps that come with Canon SLR cameras. This thing is high quality and heavy duty. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a replacement strap for a bigger point and shoot such as the Canon Powershot series. I've seen other reviewers even use it for camcorders and after using it I can see why.

                                  All around great wrist strap!

                                    this strap is much better than the neck strap that comes with the canon g12. Nice and compact

                                    Comments about Canon WS-20 Wrist Strap:

                                    I wasn't happy with the neck strap that came with my new p&s.

                                    Although this product was originally made for a Canon handycam (I believe), I found a few sites that said it could double as a wrist strap for a Canon G12. With a little work, the strap was in place and I couldn't be happier!

                                    The sturdy design of the WS-20 works perfectly with this brick of a camera. I look forward to many years of use.

                                      Comments about Canon WS-20 Wrist Strap:

                                      IMO: The Canon G series cameras are too small to be used with the included neck strap. This wrist strap works great on my G12, it is easier to handle and use it!
