Ive been a strapless person for years. I had a surprising amount of neck ache at the end of the day with cameras around my neck. The supposed comfort straps just made the neck 'damp'. So I have relied on a simple emergency lanyard around the wrist and handholding. It means I am never tempted to carry telephototo lenses very far, fitted to the camera.
first camera I went strapless with was the leica x1...dropped it on a freezing night in NYC...broke casing but it kept working
now I use the old safe wrist strap, not naked
