Quality of Disney photo gear?

[actionvaughn]

Does anyone have the strap, lens cleaner, or camera bag that's sold in the parks? I go into the Photo Center every trip just to ogle it and dream about when I have a camera that'll be actually able to support the accessories, but now that I do, I'm kinda questioning the quality of them..

If you're unfamiliar, the strap is red, with Mickey hands and feet designed, as is the lens cleaner. The camera bag I have in mind is all black with a Mickey head imprinted in the side. Does anyone have input? I want to get them as a Disney fan, but for the first time, might not if it isn't a practical choice.

Thanks in advance!

I have the Mickey Mouse camera strap. It is much better than the strap that came with my D50. I used it for over a year. I also now have an OpTek strap. I got that because I didn't bring a bag with me while walking around Disney for 7 days. I kept the camera around my neck and the OpTek is more comfortable over long periods of time. I may put the Mickey strap back on since I don't have any plans for long trips.

I bought the strap this month. I can't imagine wearing it in the summer. (We usually go in August, and we're booked for 16 nights next August.) It is a little too short for me, and I am not a very big guy. I will probably buy another strap before we go on another long trip.

When you saw lens cleaner, do you mean the microfiber cloth that's in a pouch?

We got one for my wife's camera, it works fine and is a basic microfiber cloth though a little small. It appears to be the same 18% gray as my Spudz cloth-in-pouch - in fact, it's a complete clone of the Spudz other than it's smaller and has Mickey on it!

I got the strap in June, the Canon one that came with my XTi was awfully uncomfortable. The Mickey one was great, soft, never "bit" me like the other. I agree, it could be a little longer, but all in all VERY happy with the purchase.
