I use one like this: http://www.amazon.com/Camera-wrist-camcorders-digital-cameras/dp/B000OMR00C
I just found this on the web. I forget what brand I have. I also have a velcro watch band with a carabineer key chain to connect it to the wrist strap. Easy to hold, always ready, the hand grip takes the weight, and it can't actually fall. Aside from the a better shooting arrangement, I found that (at least for me), the camera would swing on the neck strap and whack into things. This is more secure, although it does tie up one hand. OTOH <g>, it makes a better weapon this way.

And I can carry a K10D with grip attached, with heavy lens, in my hand for a lot longer than I can tolerate the weight around my neck or even on my shoulder. stan ========== Interesting. Not the only one that gets tired of camera around neck. I've never really tried a wrist strap. Which I'd want if I was just holding it all the time. (I hold it too sometimes, off my neck, but I never leave it without a strap connection to me for very long.) Course, if *I* fall down, camera goes too. But the one time I have fallen down in recent years, boy I was really grabbing that camera. Stupid, I might have been hurt.
