Best Answer

The camera strap allows photographers to have their camera ready to use at a moments notice instead of having to carry it around in a bag. Or free up their hands to perform other tasks between taking photos. It also helps stabilize the camera when one must change lenses or film.

The main reason a person would use the camera strap is to ensure the camera does not get dropped, which can break the camera and make it unusable. Most warranties do not cover damage to cameras that have been dropped.
