I'm about to make a purchase on the Z5U and wanted to know if I can add a strap that can go around my neck (and hang myself ..lol j/k)? I don't remember seeing any strap holders..

The Z5 does indeed have strap holders built in to the front and rear of the top handle.

Ahh great thanks..I was looking at this:
OP/TECH USA | Reporter Strap (Black) | 6501011 | B&H Photo Video

only $20!

I use this for my Fx1000 and it's great!
Porta Brace | HB-12DV CAM Mini DV Camera Strap | HB-12DVCAM

anyone remember when sony actually STOPPED giving a free strap with a camcorder?

i still have a couple of (thin) ones from previous cameras - never was impressed with them anyway, buy it seems a bit petty to stop giving them - what, saving 50 cents?

Yeah, the most recent manuals I have that show the strap as a supplied item are from the Z1/FX1, circa 2005. Never used the strap myself so don't miss it, but still...
