I've been experimenting a bit with how to carry my E-P1.
First, I used a neck strap, which felt a bit risky when entering/exiting cars, sitting down, etc.... a bit like a pendulum that might hit a hard object at any time.
Then I tried the cargo/jacket pocket....OK when I wear clothes with these features, but not too handy.
Now, I'm testing a hand strap, which has a plastic base that screws into the tripod socket, a strap that attatypoches to the eyelet on the right side, and a pad for cushioning the hand.... I like it, but it feels a bit bulky with a 1x8x3cm chunk of plastic under the camera. I'm looking for a low profile version.
I thought of trying a wrist strap, but they look a bit fragile.
Anyhow, I wondered what solutions you use to hand-carry your Pen?
