If I want to use a neck/shoulder strap with this case, will it attach to the case or the camera itself for most effective use?

Hi Katie,I bought this case and I don't use it because it would take 2 straps to use it well. One for the case and one for the camera. You could just use one strap and attach it to the case but, I like to always have a strap attached to my camera and around my neck.Hope this helps, my case is for sale right now on Ebay.

Yes, it would attach to the case or the camera itself; and it is working very well for me.

I already had a neck strap on my camera that I really like, and I was concerned that it wouldn't work with this case. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I can still use it with this case. The strap loops on the case have a narrow opening in them so I was able to leave my neck strap exactly like it already was on the camera - I just had to slide the strap into the loops on the case. It fits as if the case and the strap were designed to work together. I'm extremely happy with this case. I wish I could attach a picture to show you how well the strap worked.

Jason, there are open spaces in the case to allow the strap to be used. Please be advised that the case adds to the volume of the camera and just about prohibits it being stored in a coat pocket.

I no longer use the camera. When I did I used the case that came with it and attached it to me belt. I bought a better strap so that I could keep it around my neck when taking pictures.I have been away and only now am able to respond to your question.Hope this helps. Zorel

I have put the camera with case in my cargo pants pocket, but the case does add some girth the overall size of the camera.Mine is normally carried using the strap either on my shoulder or around my neck.

I"m not sure what that strap is. I use the regular strap for my camera, but when the sleeve is down over the camera, the strap is not in use. There are no holes on the top edges of the bag, for obvious reasons, otherwise the strap would wick the water in to the camera. So, I guess the answer is no, you would not be able to have the camera on your neck and have it completely covered with the sleeve. I use them all the time, but I'm not a neck wearing person. I hand hold my camera.

The neck strap is not detachable. However, I actually wear it around my neck all the time, but snap off the front cover/half when I know I will be using it a lot (it just gets in the way and it doesn't dangle very well off the bottom snap. leaving on the main body of the case, it gives you a place to grip the camera. Not sure what someone meant by "useless." a better design would have been "detachable" but, I do hang it around my neck using the strap

Yes you can, The over the shoulder strap is inside the case. Pretty nice camera case.

No you cannot attach a shoulder strap to the case easily. However, the case closes like an envelope at the top so there is a small opening at both sides of the top of the case when the camera is in it. If you have the neck strap attached to the camera you can wear the camera in the case around your neck. I just remove the case and put it in a pocket when I'm photographing.

Absolutely you can use your own strap. I use my own strap as the brown leather one that comes with the cover was not that comfy around my neck. So with the cover on and closed or the cover on but open to allow photos your strap will allow the camera to hang from your neck.

Either works... You can remove it completely and hold it separately or you can leave it snapped and it hangs below the camera while taking your shot. Occasionally I leave it off if I'm just holding the camera by the strap (sometimes a little more convenient without it completely). Otherwise if I'm going to throw the camera in my purse and don't want it to bang around I will leave it on and just open the top when I'm ready to use.

definitely. I felt much more comfortable using this instead of the around the neck. also eased my mind of just plain dropping my camera... I usually had it in my hand because the neck straps were so uncomfortable for me.

Not that easy. It helps to use the case strap to hook it to camera strap. This way, you can quickly remove the case from camera and do not drop it to the floor, or loose it.

It does not connect to the case. You use it like the original strap (connected to the camera), or you does not use it at all.

Are you asking for best operation with a shoulder strap ? Or, are you asking for the best case to use with a shoulder strap ?.Please clarify your question.

I don't think so. It is too think and clunky for the camera strap. This intended for the camera BAG - or a messenger BAG to take the weight off your shoulder. Get a neoprene strap, or UPstrap or something like that for your camera strap.

I have this camera and lens and find that you can get it in, but the case is really a bit too short for best results. It's a little hard to fit in the strap and to zip the case.

Strap attaches directly to camera ... the case also attaches to the camera by means of two leather tabs that attach around the neck strap posts. This is a very nice, very secure setup. Very good quality.
