Wow an absolute classic, I like it

Sorry about the camera,

From what I could tell based upon what didn't go down with the camera, the plastic attachment piece just unfastened by itself.  It was a kind of socket/plug that "locked" by the expansion/compression of a buttom on each side that matched up with the socket.  It didn't break, it just failed to hold.  I think the float on the actual camera strap is definitely the way to go in the future.  The strap attachment on the Canon D-10 appears to be really solid and it's aluminum vs. plastic.

Thanks for the clarification.  I have the same type of connection which connect my camera trap to the float.  I'll do some modifications on mine to make sure it won't fail.

I like your attitude martin, 
hope to fish with you in the near future.

Sorry about the lost camara. I keep my camera attached to my PFD with a retractable steel cable tackle keeper.

Thanks Scott.  Good advice which I will certainly follow with the next camera, whenever I take the leap and buy another.
