I got a new Nikon dSLR and the provided camera strap burned my neck and left it hurt so I bought another strap on Amazon, but that did the same thing to me. What is the most comfortable camera strap that does not do cause burning neck pains?

Your neck will get used to it.

If you position your shirt collar so that it is between the strap and your neck, that can help

Try a strap that goes over your shoulders instead of your neck or wear a scarf. Or put the strap on the outside of a coat…

there are ways and means…

I had the same problem until I purchased a Black Rapid strap: http://www.blackrapid.com/product/camera-strap/rs-7/ It goes on a diagonal and does not strain the neck.

Don't use straps. I hate them. Check out http://www.thinktankphoto.com/ They make good straps.

Try a neoprene neck strap.

Don't put it on your neck. I used to put it over my shoulder like a purse before I just got a wrist strap.
