SLRs; they're awesome, but they're a whole heap of large. Swinging from the strap around your neck they're always in the way, stuck in your bag they're hard to get to... is there a better way?!!? DEAR LORD LET THERE BE A BETTER WAY!?
Well this rassclat reckons he's come up with one.

Very cool -- quite inventive. BUT, I don't think I could wear a 2.5lb something strapped to my belt..might lose my britches! I think the shoulder harness mounting option is good, and the bike thing is super cool.
@sdpace My thoughts exactly! I don't think I'd want to lose my pants... considering my D300 + 18-200 is about a 5lb combo last time I weighed them, I'm pretty sure a wardrobe malfunction would definitely occur!
I use the R-Strap by Black Rapid ( http://www.blackrapid.com/) and I absolutely love it. Very comfortable way to carry around a camera all day long without losing your britches! And they even have a new one out for us ladies that is curved around our anatomy.
@hmgphotos That doesn't bounce against your hip as you walk? That one looked like something I'd go for before losing my shorts with the belt clip one above.
I think it looks like an awesome idea, I wear a bum bag (fanny pack for you Americans!) when I walk with my dogs, I bought a point and shoot for all the reasons he stated about lugging the SLR around. I might give this a go.
@webfoot I guess it depends on how you walk/angle the camera on the strap? It's nothing too irritating/noticeable, at least not to me. There's an adjuster that you can move to adjust where the camera sits (how far back, etc). I know it does bounce if you run, but walking I can't recall it really bothering me (and I've worn it on the strap for 8+ hours at a time, walking all over the place)
