Why don't stock DSLR camera straps have quick-releases on them? And where can I find a simple strap that does?



I have a D7000 and recently got a BlackRapid RS7 strap for it. I love the RS7, but there are times when I'd rather have just a simple strap attached to the eyelets on the camera.


The standard Nikon strap that comes with the D7000 (same on my D80 & D50) can only be attached/removed by threading the nylon in insanely intricate ways.


What I want is a small, secure clip that will clip to the eyelets on the camera body.


I have not been able to find anything like that. Nor have I been able to find a simple strap that has a built-in clip mechanism.


(Related question: What do people do with the existing eyelets when they use something like an RS7 all the time? They are not removable and are pretty annoyingly in the way.
