I actually bought this for my Canon T1i DSLR. With all that said, this strap has the same quality and strength of the neck strap, but without the bulk. The DLSR came with a neck strap, but neck straps have several disadvantages: They really make you look like a tourist, they get in the way if they are not on your neck, they are an easy target for ride by thieves, and if the strap is hanging off the table, they become a tripping hazard that will take your camera with it. Because of all these things, I usually wrap the neck strap around my forearm several times and always hold my camera. It allows me to hold the camera without fear of dropping it. I can dangle the camera off my wrist if I need to use my hand and a drive by thief cannot take my camera without taking me with it.For me this is a perfect buy.
Using the "shoe string" wrist strap that come with cameras would cut into my wrist since the SX20 is heavy, so when I saw this heavy-duty strap I thought I would give it a try -- especially since the cost was right. I recently bought the Canon Powershot SX20IS through Amazon but don't like to use neck straps. I usually place my camera back in my case after a shot; but on those times when a lot of great shots are in view, I had thought about using my not used old 8mm camcorder hand strap -- but that wasn't a good option. I am very happy with this strap. The lead-in part of the strap fits into the eyelet that accommodates the neck strap and the wide band for the wrist allows maneuverability for a horizontal or vertical shot.
I never liked using a neck strap and could not find a decent wrist strap for my new G11. I finally found one at Amazon and it is great.
Even though this was designed for the camcorders it fits nice on my new g11. It is tight but it does fit. much better for a small camera that the neck strap supplied with the G11.
I use this wrist strap with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 12.1MP Digital SLR Camera with Lumix G Vario 14-45 mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH Mega OIS Lens (Black). For such a small camera, I find a wrist strap to be more convenient than a neck strap.
