This is much better than the OEM Canon rubbish that came with my 550D. It feels much more natural to carry the camera by my side, and it doesn't stick out in front of my stomach like some kind of alien protrusion. I'm a little worried about the plastic buckles supporting £1k's worth of kit, but I guess it's been tested and everyone else on the forums say it's OK.
The big flaw for me is that the straps get in the way when shooting in portrait - it's not a big deal but with a bit of thought it could have been designed out.
It would also feel more natural to me for the camera to hang by my left side (I'm right handed) so I could reach across and grab the grip with my right hand. When it's hanging on your right, you have to almost reach backwards and take your eye off the subject. Might be just me though....
All in all, a good buy, and cheaper than the competition (though still a lot of money for a bit of webbing and a couple of buckles.

I bought this strap for my Canon EOS 550D. Overall I am very please with it. It makes carrying the camera much more comfortable. The camera is still easy to use as it just slides up and down the strap.
The only problem I had was fitting the clip that the strap attached to on to the camera. You have to feed a loop of quite thick cord though the metal strap attachment point on the camera and on the Canon this was pretty tricky as the gap is quite narrow. It took me quite a long time to do that and in the end I needed to use a small screw driver to hook the loop through. But that is a one off job and now it is done I am very please with the strap.

I have done a lot of research into a new camera strap that was comfortable - this strap is excellent and is at an affordable price - does lighten the load on your neck and shoulder and makes it very easy to carry your camera all day taking the bulk of the weight - excellent for rapid shooting.
