Well, I have never used the cheesy camera straps that come with  
cameras, with the maker's name splashed in big letters across it.  
Instead, I use Optech or Domke straps. My E3 has a Domke strap which  
for whatever reason has a small Canon logo near the lug ends. I have  
not noticed any negative effects on the E3's performance, however. But  
should I be concerned? Should I remove the offending strap, put the  
camera on a sturdy tripod and do with and without strap testing?
