# Long story
Basically, I had an Ixus I with a diving casing for it, so I held onto that when I got the Ixus 430, which was way better. Then the Ixus 70 came out, with much longer battery life (muy importante in cold water), so I bought that, along with a new underwater casing.

Oh, I also bought a 430 and a 70 for my girlfriend (both cameras and girlfriend not pictured), so we have five of these in the house. And then a powershot, some camphones, a konika minolta and another waterproof minolta cam ;)

I've just been buying cams for a lot of years now, and they never seems to break down, and I never sell any of them.

# But soooo beneath you SLR primary concerns, surely?
Fair enough if you get attached to them, guess I dont

# I had them before I had my SLRs
I mainly use them for when I go bicycling/diving/sit in a rollercoaster etc.

Plus, the macro on the 70 is pretty good, actually.
etc.
