That must be Canon's theory - that when you upgrade, you're more
likely to have an existing strap preference that you'll transfer to
the new box.

You have mentioned those before, and I noted it as looking just right
for a walking-around strap. I don't know why I haven't bought one of
them yet, so thanks for the links. I will be doing so. A bit like
bags, I don't mind multiple options, and particularly for
walking-around I think your suggestions/tips are going to be a big
help for that migraine thing.
Cheers, and thanks again,
