 A must if you're going to use your olympus in the water! September 16, 2008

My husband and I bought this for our Olympus 770SW for our honeymoon to Hawaii. This floating strap was fabulous. If you let go of the camera in the water it will float with this strap attached! The fit is weird b/c it doesn't tighten around your wrist, but will tighten around your bicep, which is a much more comfortable position for swimming. You just have to slide it down to take pictures. I highly recommend this product if you will be taking your camera in the water (or a boat for that matter, if dropped off the boat, it floats and can be recovered).
YES it floats!...however, loose around the wrist! September 2, 2008

I own a Stylus 790 SW camera and wanted to make sure I didn't accidentally drop my camera into the deep abyss of the sea on my outings.
This product does what it says it does and keeps my camera safe on the surface.
However, do note that if your wrist is smaller than 9.5-10 inches 'round you will NOT be able to get a tight fit around your wrist to keep it securely attached to you. It's not a big deal though, there are other methods you can use to secure it...but it would be a lot cooler if you could!
 Poor Float, Oversized Opening June 25, 2008

I'm not sure which camera other people are using this for as they seem to have had better results, but when hooked up to my Olympus 1030SW it is barely able to float the camera. As a matter of fact with any amount of turbulence in the water the "hi-viz" red strap barely breaks the surface.
I suppose maybe this thing is good for the pool? But then again why would you really need it there?
As it says on the Olympus website with regards to the product it only provides "gentle positive buoyancy" and in my case it was barely positive buoyancy.
If you do purchase this I would be sure to test out it's reliability with your specific camera first, as once my camera was knocked out of the Olympus Neoprene Armband by a wave it was never to resurface again. By the way the armband is junk as well.
Also I agree with everyones else with regard to the size of the opening, a very large hole that even when fully tightened doesn't close enough to stay securely on your wrist.
Lastly it would be really useful if they included a normal lanyard that can attach to the same quick release as the "floating" one so that when you are not using the "floating" one you can just clip a normal one in, and not have to bother with unlooping and relooping each time you take it off.

I bought this after reading ALL of the reviews...i was excited when i got to put this little floaty to the test...my wife and i went snorkeling in the florida keys and it worked beatifully...the strap was not too big as other reviews suggest...it is larger than your wrist but it offers a confident hold...the only issue i saw was back at the pool with my daughter...she was holding the camera by the floating strap and let it drop into the pool...the camera dropped about 2 feet until it hit water and it really didnt float all that well...it slowly sank to the bottom of the pool but when i dove down to get it the strap was suspending the camera inches from the bottom...i hadnt experienced this when snorkeling so it leads me to believe this is more of a salt water toy...well worth the money if you are boating swimming and diving and you need to keep track of that nice new camera you bought...enjoy!!!
