Digital camera reviews of Canon 2344A001 E1 Hand Strap for Eos Rebel Series
Digital camera Review: Hand Strap Works!
Summary: 5 Stars
For some time I've been looking for a way to comfortably (and safely) hand carry my DSLR. The only solution that worked was using a neck strap that allowed me to unclip the main strap from two shorter straps that attached to the camera, clip the shorter straps together, and then wrap that short loop around my wrist. Functional, but not too elegant. The Canon strap works much much better. Keep in mind that you need a battery grip (I'm using a Canon 7D with grip) and you'll have to figure out how to use a neck strap when you don't want to hand carry your camera. I use Black Rapid's strap, which attaches to the tripod socket. That strap is the best I've found (see their website).Digital camera Review: Handy for some folks but not for me
Summary: 5 Stars
My opinion will probably differ from other reviewers.
This strap works well IF you have the extended battery pack installed on the camera.
As to be expected, it is quality and would be handy for those who like to keep their camera in their hand ready for action shots.
Personally, I went back to the neck strap because, if using the hand strap, the camera is tied to your hand and that hand is unusable for much of anything else without putting the camera down. If you're out roaming around, the neck strap frees your hands up, reducing your fear of dropping the camera, eliminates the possibility of setting it down for a second and having it disappear and, with the neck strap, the camera is readily available.
I have to give it a 5 star due to the fact that it does exactly what it was designed to do and quality made.

Digital camera Review: It does the job
Summary: 4 Stars
It's not a cheap hand strap since it carries the CANON logo. I bought two of these & used them on my 5D & 40D. Adjusting the length on initial installation is a bit hectic, though it stays once the adjustment is done.
If I'm allowed to have a wishlist for Canon's handstrap, I hope they mark Canon mark as red or something. I'm a proud Canon user, & I want it to be stand out when I carry my camera. It does have embossed Canon logo, though it looks dull & dark that no one recognize it's made by Canon if you're more than 3 feet away.
There's a couple of after-market products, though I would strongly recommend to use what is official Canon product.
Digital camera Review: It's a strap.
Summary: 4 Stars
Canon makes this hand-strap to go with some of their higher-end models, or some of the high end consumer dslr's when you add a battery pack grip - i added this to my xti setup when i put the bg-e3 on for longer shooting without needing to worry about changing batteries - the grip feels good, much better than the cheap one i had previously bought on ebay.
if your camera has the ability to use this, or you add a battery pack to your camera and can add this on, it is a good feeling hand grip - if you are comfortable shooting without a neckstrap, this is the way to go!
it does seem pricey, but the quality is worth it for a 'real' canon product.
Digital camera Review: It's ok.

It's a hand strap. You might love it, you might hate it. How should I know? I like mine fine.
