Straps always get in the way for me - i usually carry the camera on the tips of my fingers, sideways, with my thumb just below the rear control wheel so it is just a matter of swinging my arm up to use the camera.   Holding the camera with an arm straight down is least exhausting.

That Ebay D850 went for £810 - not bad if it is OK!

The only downside to the 850 is that I have had to shell out £45 for a good used SB600 as there is no onboard flash. More things to learn about - life never gets simpler!:lol:

Never liked using on camera flash…consequently I wasn’t very good at it.

I could always see it was artificial light …and that spoilt it for me.

Studio strobes, even on location, gave more pleasing light but were a pain to cart about…so I stopped taking those commissions as well. :thumbs:
