Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon AKT-DC1 Accessory kit for Canon D10 Digital Underwater Camera
Customer Review: Useful strap for snorkeling with Canon D10 (pricey but sell the rest on Craigslist)
Summary: 4 Stars
Snorkeling is so much more fun with a digital camera. It's like a game, trying to capture a shot of each different kind of fish or sea creature. If you want to be hands-free while swimming, the wrist strap that comes with the Canon D10 is not enough.
Unfortunately, this accessory pack is the only option for the Canon D10, which means the price point is not very desirable. The good news is that you don't need all 3 straps and 3 face plates that come in the pack. I tried all 3 straps and ended up keeping only one (the fixed length, not adjustable and no carabiner) and then selling the rest on Craigslist. I had no desire for switching out face plates because it's too much effort to screw it on and off in my opinion. In the end, the one strap and waterproof case were worth it!! Of course, I do suggest buying the accessory pack WITH the camera at the same time in order get the 15% discount.
The straps are constructed well and seem strong. There are only 2 flaws that I experienced was the carabiner, which was easy to accidentally push while snorkeling and then the camera would become loose (defeating the purpose). This is why I sold the carabiner straps. The second flaw is that sand can get stuck in the grooves and make it hard to connect the straps to the camera. Best practice would probably be rinsing everything after getting out of the ocean.
Moreover, the fixed strap was a good comfortable length to strap around my chest while snorkeling (I'm only 5'4"). I could not find any reference online at any website, not even on Canon, for measurements on the straps or any detailed description about the accessory pack Model AKT-DC1, so I measured it myself.
a) Shorter one (30") with a fixed clip.
b) Medium length (47") with out any clip and is not adjustable.
c) Longer one (54") with an adjustable clip.
Anyhow, I definitely would recommend getting the accessory pack if you get the D10 (and then selling the parts you don't need). As far as recommending the D10 itself, I wish it was a little smaller so that I can use it for everyday, but other than that I keep it on the side for snorkeling or water trips.
