Waterproof/Shockproof Camera

[TimMurphy]

Dear pratt,

For you or anyone else they have floatation straps available. I have one on my Olympus and it's been ocean and river tested.

Eventhough the camera is fairly hefty and will sink like a rock, the strap just floats it along at the water's surface. As a bonus the strap I got is international orange so if I did manage to drop the camera in the water it is highly visible and easy to track where it's floating off to.

To me, the strap is worth the $ 20.00 it cost.

Regards,

Tim Murphy

I own the Nikon AW100 and am glad I picked decided on it. HD video and excellent close-ups are two areas it excells in.
