To echo Daryl's comment, I will say that I use the lanyard on my Pentax
Optio WPi. I keep one lanyard attached to my PFD and one lanyard on my
camera. Before getting in the kayak, I connect them together by passing the
camera through the loop. I normally keep the camera in a PFD pocket but
sometimes put it down on the sprayskirt. Many times I have found the camera
dragging in the water after it slid off the sprayskirt - often because I
hear it banging on the boat.

No problems with the camera so far, but my main point is to make sure it is
tied to something :)
