Personally I have an old injury at the base of my right thumb that has weakened my grip strength, so to properly grip the E-300 I had to add a grip strap that goes from the right strap point to the tripood screw:

Another type of strap:

Things like those allow you to hang onto the camera with your hand without having to grip it and put all the weight of the camera on your thumb. Personally I keep both the grip strap and the neck strap on the camera (although it's a bit of a tight fit on the strap point).

I've also replaced the standard Olympus strap with one from Roots that has little pillows that go around my neck or shoulder:

CAF can be quite inaccurate in low light conditions. This is the main problem with Oly AF modules.

Roots is Canadian, so you may have trouble finding it in that part of the world, but there also neoprene straps on the market which are also comfortable.

ya am trying to use CAF to focus the WBer but fail..have to settle for SAF with center focus pt. does those cam with more AF pt will be better to capture action stuff? in real situation?
