Camera Harness/Sling/Strap

I was about to pick up a regular strap for my gh2 but I noticed there are some other options that might be helpful while hiking, biking, longboarding etc.

I basically want something that will hold the camera close to me without much movement for when I'm walking or riding around, but with quick easy access to get the camera up for a shot. I'm thinking a harness would be better to keep the camera from bouncing around but wasn't sure.

Anyone have experience using something like these?

I gave it to my roommate as I don't like using it with my leica, but for my 5d it was great. Had no problem running and climbing over rocks and through brush/trees while shooting river rafting

The only strap you'll ever need is an old bright yellow Nikon Pro strap.

Anyone have experience with the Luma Labs Cinch? Been reading up and there seems to be some positive reviews for this as well

nothing I love more than taking photos in a third world country with a bright yellow strap attaching my expensive camera to my gringo-ass self.

That first shoulder strap one looks pretty cool. Christmas presents eh?

It doesn't even matter, conflict photographers run around with multiple bodies, white L lenses and stock straps.
