If you are sick you your camera strap, you might want to look into getting a Black Rapid. It has an unusual swivel design that lets you swing the camera up to your eye very quickly without it grabbing your neck or shirt. They run about $50, but if you shoot often, it is an investment well spent.
Check out their videos on their website for more information:
I have one and love it! I forked out for the RS-2 about two months ago…
I purchased one too and about to get my second. Extremely comfortable and my all time favorite strap!
here is a link to make your own.
