<p>I use a Lowepro neck strap. It's a contoured neoprene non slip strap with quick release tabs. I love it. Can' remember where I bought it, but it should be widely available. Also, as I recall is was pretty reasonably priced (<$20).</p>

Just a couple of observations from an amatuer regarding the poor focus of the attached example:

According to the above exif data...

1) the sharpening is set to low, try increasing it a bit & see what happens.

2) The focus mode is M...This may be obvious but I don't see it mentioned anywhere above, but If you are manually focusing the camera make sure that the DIOPTER CORRECTION is set correctly to your vision. This simple step can save a lot of grief down the road. Maybe someone knocked it slightly off while handling the camera.
