Digital camera reviews of Canon 2344A001 E1 Hand Strap for Eos Rebel Series
Digital camera Review: Canon Rebel handstrap
Summary: 2 Stars
It would be much easier to use this strap if instructions were included on how to attach it to the camera. Also some instructions on adjustment to fit your hand would be nice.Digital camera Review: Comfortable and easy to install
Summary: 4 Stars
The hand strap did not come with any instructions for attaching the strap to a camera, and it's not quite intuitive. The instructions are found easily online though. The hand strap is easy to slip on and off, and is quite comfortable too.Digital camera Review: Does the Job
Summary: 4 Stars
Comfortable. Does the job. Takes away that concern you might loose your grip.
As many others have already said, however, I wish the thing came with instructions.
Digital camera Review: E1 hand strap
Summary: 4 Stars
Another issue I'll add is that when you remove your hand from the strap to use the battery grip shutter release in portrait orientation, inevitably the neck strap falls in front of the view finder. This requires using two hands and is not always convient especially outdoors in rainy weather, shooting at high camera angles. I did this for two weeks straight in a rainy Europe and it was very irritating. I like to have the neck strap left on with the hand strap so I dont have to return the camera to my sling bag for a while. As others have mentioned, fast disconnect clips on both the neck strap and hand strap would be a nice addition. (read Canon call Rock Lockster) they furnish the clips for Lowepro camera bags.
Update 7/20/2010
I ran across a picture in a magazine of a photographer with the neck strap fastened to the upper left camera anchor point then the lower right battery grip anchor point as viewed from the rear. This helps immensely to keep the neck strap from falling in front of the optical viewer. Figuring out the "lacing" configuration took a few tries but in the end all worked out. I've upgraded the rating from 3 to a 4.
Digital camera Review: Expensive for what it is, but I love it
Summary: 5 Stars
It wasn't cheap for a bit of fabric and leather, but it is comfy. I never take it off my 40D. I am very happy I got this. The leather feels very soft and smooth on the back of your hand. Worth it if you shoot for long durations.
