what camera strap are you using these days?

Another vote for the Upstrap. Strong, flexible and does not slip off your shoulder like the Domke tends to do. Comes in different widths. I need to order more.
 
Most but not all of my cameras have a Gordy Strap. Comfy, natural and inexpensive.

I've used the Nikon AN4B straps with correct Nikon triangle rings with plastic inserts on every Nikon and Leica I've carried since about 1984. My Canon 5D3 bodies have the burgundy colored variation directly to the body without the triangle rings. For me, they simply work, are durable, don't slip off my shoulder and are discreet.

I also have a soft spot for the beautifully crafted Harry Benz straps....the thin version of the B model

I have been using Simplr F1 straps on my main cameras for the past several years. I love them—they're super lightweight, flexible, and strong, and don't have any obnoxious branding. I use these on my Nikon FEs and my Pentax SL. On my much heavier D7000, I use an old Nikon strap made out of some kind of stretchy neoprene material; it makes the weight of the DSLR more bearable. I don't know when this strap was made as it came on one of my FEs that I bought used.
 
Peak Design Anchor Links directly attached to each of my 35mm cameras (no rings, I use lacing twine to pull the cord loop through the strap lugs) and just one very broken in tan Domke 1" Web Camera Strap with Swivel Quick Release shared among them.
 
Artisan & Artist rope strap and flat strap, depending upon which camera body. All are very comfortable. I get the fixed length straps to keep a clean appearance. I can upload more detailed images, in case anyone is more curious.

... Still using the Peak Design Leash. Have three of them now, and Anchor Links for all my cameras (a number >3).

I bought this strap in 1980 shortly after getting my first own camera and it is the only piece of gear that has never been lost, deleted or replaced since then. So here´s to humble pieces of equipment!
 
These days I mostly use the Cura Comfort Strap コンフォートストラップ(CCS-100) | 蔵CURA ネットショップ

I also use a made in Korea leather strap on my Fuji GFX cameras. The Korean leather straps I use are really well made but I don't see them advertised anywhere anymore.

The problem I have with the straps that come with the cameras is that they are usually to short for me. It's not that I'm a giant, I just like long straps.

Ciesta brand from Amazon. Korean made quality leather and nylon. About 40 bucks.

Still using the same Ciesta brand straps. Thin ones on X-Pros and X100s, wider ones on Nikon DSLRs. Unfortunately Amazon no longer shows them available.
 
For my mirrorless cameras: Peak Design Slide for large/heavy setups like a DSLR or mirrorless with big lens, and the slim Leash for light setups like a small mirrorless body or medium size body with small lens.

The Peak Design Cuff is a very hand wrist strap, which I use with cameras like the Panasonic GX85 mounted with a tiny prime.

On my M9, I still use the stock nylon Leica strap with its grippy shoulder section.

My Fuji X100 has a lovely leather Leica strap that was intended for a Leica Q.

My Canon DSLR's have Lowepro quick release straps, bought when they were still making them in the 2000s. I wish I had bought more, because they were a good system with straps for all situations. I think they were less expensive than Peak Design, too.
