First, the camera can't be dropped unless my neck or the strap breaks. Not true on the shoulder, unless your body is notched. Second, it's always in position to shoot. Don't have to take it off the shoulder and wrap it around the wrist or whatever. I just shoot. Back some thirty years ago when I shot a lot of motorsports, all the photogs hung their cameras from their necks when they weren't on a tripod. But that was in the days before a camera around the neck became evocative of a tourist and therefore very unhip. Paul.
============ Well, that's why I do it, so I simply can't drop it. I am a bit paranoid about dropping my camera. Tripods make me nervous so when I use one I always have my eye on it or don't go far from it. I just figure it would be like me to drop the camera if I didn't always take precautions. :-) Also I am usually carrying a camera bag with other lenses in it on my shoulder. I also have a camera bag that will go around my waist, but I don't use it quite as much or I put it on my shoulder more often than my waist. It's a little too bulky at my waist to be totally comfortable. Some neat neck straps mentioned.
