I'm looking for a neoprene neck strap to fit the narrow lugs of the SX50. All of my spare straps have 10mm webbing straps which won't fit through the lugs and I can't find anything narrow enough on google/ebay/amazon?

Rob,
Have a look at Op/Tech straps, widely available in the UK from Amazon and lots of other suppliers. I have 2 bino straps and one used on a Sony DSLR. They have lots of different configurations with interchangable snap connectors and are very comfortable and very reasonably priced.
Hope this helps.

Rob, another option would be Opticron binocular straps and lanyards - very good:

I had the same problem. Solved it by using a couple of thin black cable ties threaded through the metal attachment points to make bigger loops. They're quite neat and unobtrusive.

I endorse what's been said about the Optech stuff. I use an Optech 5301422 harness (about £14 on eBay) for my bins, and if I want to have the sx50 ready as well I attach them both to the harness. Works surprisingly well.
