That being said, I've never really worried about my camera being subject to heat and dust, really, and I'm a desert rat. If it's *that* hot and/or dusty, it's doubtful I'm wanting to be taking photos to begin with. And personally, my thinking is that "hammock" really isn't going to provide you with much protection. That soft neoprene looks nice but it's not much of a shock absorber. My D5100 took a LOT of bumping and knocking about and shed it all like water off a ducks back; it's part of what you're paying for when you pony up for the Nikon brand: a certain ruggedness of build, so don't feel like you need to treat your 5100 like a piece of Ming porcelain. Big drops are another matter but I don't see that thin skin of neoprene doing much about that, either...In looking at the overall build of the thing I'm thinking it just wouldn't work for me; it would be to slow on the draw for one thing, and that's a big consideration; I hate missing shots because I had to fumble around to "get ready". I want BE ready. To that end have you considered a simple sling strap, like a Black Rapid or a BosStrap? Either of these put the strap across your body (and off your neck!) while keeping your camera secure from snatching. They leave your hands free for when you need them AND give you instantaneous access to your camera. Might be something to think about. I actually have both a Black Rapid and Bos and I use them both. Sling straps are one of the greatest things to come along for photographers EVER methinks..</blockquote>
