Although I own and love several DSLR cameras, sometimes a small compact camera is just what you need -- it's light and easy to carry, and less intrusive for an informal gathering of family or friends.
But most compacts come equipped with wrist straps. And I don't like the wrist strap method of carrying because it is not "hands free".
So, I was delighted to stumble across these lanyard style neck straps for compact cameras on Amazon
I ordered several. They are made by Canon and the package says "for use on Canon cameras", but a string is a string and you can poke it through the strap hole on any small camera.
Ahhh... much better ...
CJ ~ Thanks for the suggestion. This looks like a very helpful suggestion and a good way not to lose a camera.
