I read a few reviews about a float strap for a digital camera. Which is the best one? I am looking for the one that really works well and comfortable while you are snorkeling in the water.

Answer
Personally, I have tested a dozen differnt camera float straps over the past three months for a new $300 underwater camera. First, avoid the Chums Waterproof Camera Float. While it looks nice, it has been prone to poor stitching resulting in camera's dropping deep to the bottom. Just read the reviews on Amazon. Second, make sure the float you like can handle the weight of your camera. Third, I personally like float that have multiple folds so they fold up flat in case you want to put it in your pocket. Forth, which ever one you end up with, test it in the bathtub before the open water, and pull at all the seams firmly to make sure it's well assembled.
I personally like the surprisinglly inexpensive CowboyStudio strap (<$6). It's at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0042GFQRA/o0d81-20/

It would be better if there are websites that reviewing Nikon coolpix AW100 as well. I heard form my collegues that this camera is recommended as the best digital camera for outdoor activity especially in water-proof ability. Thanks b4.

Answer
I'd say the Panasonic DMC-FT4 (otherwise knows as the DMC-TS4) was at least as good as the Nikon.
