I would prefer neck strap if I am using heavy camera something like DSLR. Since my compact doesn't have a provision to put neck strap, I am using wrist strap (aka thread). I am not sure if it's used to increase stability when you release shutter but to keep your camera safe from accidental fall from your hands.

you guys wont belive but I use the neck strap as hand strap for safety...just tie the neck strap around hand...DSLR are soo heavy that you cant hang around a 1-1.2KG camera around neck and move
I use it around neck very rarely...at the time of shooting i tie it around hand tightly so it dont fall off accidently.
I am really not sure if hand strap may help dSlR...maybe a battery pack can help more as it will give weight and grip both vertical and horizontal

I use a quick strap and they are significantly better than neck or hand straps.
PS; does anyone has experience of using quick strap along with a backpack?

I prefer neck strap. Hand strap will also work provided you use it so that if camera slips out of your hand it's safe.

Hand strap, allows more flexibility in movement. Wrap it around your wrist multiple times so that even if you let go the cam stays safe. May not help with stability but its a great safety measure.

Same, use a long neck strap as a hand strap for flexibility

Medium format from Phase one, D5 from Nikon, 1" compacts from Panasonic, 1" compacts and bridge from Nikon.

Nikon NZ teased D5 on it's fb page, not it's removed. Other two are rumour, but Panasonic seems to be real. We will know soon whether they are rumour or real.

quick strap looks good and have a large padding...but still its ok for cam+lens under 1kg...anything more and its better to carry in hand.
Also while trekking I felt that the cam swings too much left and right when put around neck..not feasible practically...sling bag is much useful in that case

Finally D500 is here. Spec sheet is impressive, Nikon too brought 4k. Nice move.
Unimpressive compacts announcement from Canon. 1" compact from Panasonic, action camera from Nikon, new AF-P lens from Nikon and some more...
Does Nikon wants all the focus on it's flagship FX/DX cameras and not announcing compacts?
What happened to others? Fuji, Sony, Samsung...
