Wire, clips, cording boat to housings should solve it, lest you fear losing even the boat. (g) Hey. All kidding aside, if I could order a camera in bright yellow, I would do so. Last fall, I was up paddling through the Barron River Canyon, and some piece of gear hooked onto the cord of my GPS unit and pulled it over the side so that it dropped to the bottom of the river. Luckily, I was in about...oh... 10 feet of water, and the GPS was BRIGHT YELLOW...and it had a little floating bead on the end of its cord that floated up about 3 feet above where it was sitting in a bed of freshwater clams. I used the handle end of my paddle to snag the cord... almost at the limit of my arm and paddle reach..and managed to get it back in the canoe. Now, the first thing I do is to tie the GPS to the gunwale of the canoe right ahead of me. Always a problem though..this stuff... You need it where you can use it all the time, but you risk things going over the side if the canoe tips a little.. which is just a normal part of wilderness canoe tripping. --- oh, but BTW.. yes, if a Nikon fell overboard, the bright yellow casing wouldn't help much. I believe it would be a case of "Instant destruction".
