Very handy when you have your underwater camera in the pool or ocean. More than half off of what olympus charges.
Keeps your camera at the surface.:
I'm using this on an Olympus 1030SW and it works very well. The buoyancy provided by the strap is just enough to give a slight rise to the camera in fresh water. The camera will come up but the strap barely breaks the surface. In salt water it would probably provide a bit more of a boost. When diving or snorkeling that's probably a good thing as it won't "pull" at you when trying to use it; however if you're concerned about losing sight of the camera you might want to attach a bright fishing bobber to the... more info
A must for trips to the sea:
I tried this last weekend when I went to the sea. It works fine and really maintains floating the camera.

The camera may be waterproof, but it'll sink to the bottom of the ocean if you don't have some flotation. This strap float is great. It holds my Olympus Stylus 1030sw above water very easily. I'm satisfied with the purchase.
