Digital camera reviews of Olympus STRAP FLOAT ORANGE
Digital camera Review: *** Warning *** Float Strap Does Not Work
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm perplexed by the polar opposite reviews on this product. Some people say it works fine, while others say it fails miserably. Could this be a quality control problem?
We purchased a 1030W and the floating camera strap for our 8 YO son to take scuba diving on vacation in St. Lucia. Before leaving, our son tested the camera and strap in the bath tub (like all little boys would do) and noticed that the camera sank to the bottom of the bath tub. We used the camera on Barbados and St. Lucia for about 3 days. On our first scuba dive (he can only go to 6 feet due to regulations)... it was too merky to use the camera, so I took it from him for safe storage. I accidently released the camera under water for just a second... thinking the float strap would at least keep the camera at a neutral position. To my shock, the camera went straight to the bottom and quickly out of sight. I couldn't swim fast enough to save the Camera! We never did find the camera.
I'm in the process of contacting Olympus because I believe this product represents false advertising.

Summary: 5 Stars
Bought our before a 3 week trip sailing and snorkeling in Greneda and the Grenadines. It was invaluable. A little akward when swimming in the current with the camera in hand, but it gave me the peace of mind to not worry about losing the camera in the water or when getting on and off the boat. I have used it many times since, very well sized for the camera, not oversized or to bulky. Easy disconnect connector is secure after multiple uses. I would recommend it highly if your investing in a small underwater camera.Digital camera Review: A good buy

I read some reviews that this didn't flot some people cameras.
I have a Olympus Stylus Tough 6020 14MP Digital Camera and it worked perfectly. My only complaint is that as a girl it was too big for my wrist, there's no way to tighten it. However I just used it for snorkling and had no problems. I did test it and it did float with my camera attached.
Digital camera Review: A handy item
Summary: 4 Stars
The float strap provides me extra peace of mind when I'm using my waterproof camera in bodies of water. In addition, the bright color makes the camera easy to spot. It easily snaps off the camera for those times when I want to use only the slim strap that came with the camera. The only downside is that although the float strap is adjustable, it can't get quite small enough to fit snugly around my wrist. It could conceivably come off over my hand accidentally (and my hands are on the large-ish side for a woman).
