Alex,
One option that may work for you is a BlackRapid strap. They are great straps and come with a quick release that is very solid and can be quickly removed from the camera. I have one and am very happy with it.
With a smaller camera, the Black Rapid Street Strap might be the best option. For larger cameras, the Cross Shot-BK may work better. I have the Classic Retro RS4.
If you have a tripod or monopod with a Manfrotto video head, there is an option that might work for you. I use a Manfrotto 323 RC2 Quick release plus a Manfrotto 501PL Sliding Quick Release Plate.
The 200PL-14 Plate from the 323 connects to your camera tripod connector. Note that the bottom of the 200PL-14 folds flat when you snap it into the 323 quick release for use on a tripod. When you take the camera off of the quick release, the plate connector folds out allowing you to connect the Black Rapid quick release carabiner.
For a stills tripod head, the base of the 323 screws directly to the tripod head. However, it you have a Manfrotto video head, the 323 RC2 Quick release can be combined with a Manfrotto 501PL Sliding Quick Release Plate to get the best of both worlds. My video tripods and monopod use this combo and it works very well.
I hope this is clear. Pics attached. Let me know if you have questions.
Regards,
Dan.
