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 :) -Mark On Sat, Dec 4, 2010 at 6:29 AM, Darryl Johnson <darryl_johnson_at_rogers.com>wrote: > > I've been looking at the Pentax Optio W90.
