D300 Camera Strap

I don’t know when Nikon started putting the model on the camera strap. I bought my first Nikon digital in April 2007. It was the D40 and I fell in love with it almost immediately. It only had the word “Nikon” on the strap. I still love that camera. But a week after they came out I had a D300, well I don’t sleep with it, but I take it to breakfast with me everyday. It is my version of man’s best friend and it goes almost everywhere I do. Almost!
I was in California over the holidays and traveled to the following pretty cool places for taking pictures and having fun.
- Sea World
- The Wild Animal Park
- Disneyland
- Universal Studios
- California Adventures
This is a Nikon camera geek speaking. One of the things I enjoyed while walking around these various places was to see who was carrying a Nikon Camera and what model they were shooting. Just a couple of weeks before the trip I got a new D300 and noticed the camera strap now had the model of the camera on the strap along with the very familiar yellow Nikon.
As a side note, I decided not to take the D300 and opted for the lighter D40 choosing just a single lens to take with me each day.
I only carried my camera two days out of the five. So quite a few of those days I had no camera which is a bit like being naked for a guy that really loves to take photographs. My solace for those days was spotting those Nikon camera straps and one day I even got a look at a D300. Now is that being in love with a camera or what?
