Quick Disconnect Camera Straps?

Mind you, I have not the slightest idea what exactly you are trying to do by switching straps on the fly and it may help to know.

All I can think of is that I never bought a strap

I've used the one that came in the box with the camera and it did the job. Can we maybe suggest ideas on how to use that one better?

Well I ordered the BlackRapid two days ago and it was supposed to arrive anywhere from 25th to the 5th of June... The guys at avidmax are flipping fast.

I gotta say the 1st impression of this strap is quite up there as I expected if not even better... can't figure out why I didn't have something like this earlier... its comfy, sturdy, looks good and I can't even feel the camera... this makes hiking much easier.

That's all I have ever had as well.

The thing is I like the idea of the blackrapid/sun-sniper strap, so I would like to have one and use it, but I don't want to have to deal with taking the existing Nikon strap off my camera to switch to it (it's a real bugger). So I'd like to be able to swap back and forth with relative ease.

So I was on Craigs list and just happened to find a Black Rapid RS-7 for 34 bucks, I picked it up and REALLY like it.

Never again will I use another strap with disconnnect clips. This one being one piece gives me so much security that a clasp will accidentally release. I would suggest a second attachment for the triopd socket (FastenR-3 » BlackRapid.com) because I like to have one on my 70-200 tripod mount and on my camera body when I use a smaller lens. They also have fastener for a manfrotto quick release plate that should come in handy for easy switching btw hand held and tripod.

Definately give it a look if you haven't bought one yet!
