I use the wrist strap from my audiovox cell phone. It's strong enough that it won't break.

I just bought one at http://www.simpics.com and I am very happy with it, it cinches up on the wrist if you like. It was inexpensive, there are several there, but I tried the wider one that was recommended by someone who responded to my inquiry. Put in "wrist strap" in the search and you will come up with all the suggestions I received last month before I purchased mine.

this is the one I bought, and I bought it so if I let my kids take a picture with the camera, I could cinch it up on their wrist.

Since you said that you wanted something that fit snugly like a camcorder rather than hanging loosely, I have read that people are using cat collars with shrink wrap. I haven't tried it myself as yet.

I used an 8" x 1/4 " piece of black nylon cord, looped it with knot. purchased from sporting goods store for 68 cents. works and looks great.

I love the Hakuba Strap Dave, Have had it for 4months. no problems works great and only 3.95 Jerry

Jerry...Does it look it was made for the CP or did you modify it in anyway? I always felt Coolpix was a natural for that kind of strap. BTW..what's with the 3.95? Are we talking about the same strap? $24.50 @ B&H...Dave
That strap looks perfect, but the prices I've seen are around $20-25. Where's you get it for $4?
What's the shrink-wrap used for?
The camera attachment part looks too think for attaching to a CoolPix

Dave here is the one I bought at the link below for 3.95. The strap is a little thick but it will go through the link with a little effort, no problem..Jerry

Nope, the Hakuba works great. Like the previous poster says, "it takes a little forcing", but I've used mine for 3 months. Works great. I used a small screwdriver to push the braid through the strap eyelet.

I think a "real" sample (picture of 995 with the attached hand strap) can give a much better ideal of how is "actually" work ?! (i.e. is it really work like that when attached to a 35mm AF SLR ?)
Any picture ? Thanks in advance !

It is actually that shrink tubing stuff that you can get at Radio Shack. The picture I saw had the shrink tubing placed over the cat collar. The tubing was then shrunk using a hair dryer so that it was tight on the collar. In the picture (which I can't find!) it looked pretty good. Not adjustable however
once the tubing is shrunk in place.
