What on earth did you do to it to kill it in a year??

My Ixus 700 is now starting to look a bit tatty, but its used daily, frequently dropped, and is now over 2 years old... :P

I too would recommend staying with the Ixus range...

We don't really know what happened to the camera but the screen is smashed which will no doubt render it beyond economical repair.

I bought the leather case from Canon which it looks like it's the same as the newer Ixus ones I also have a few batteries so it might be wise to stay with them if the camera is good.

I like the Lumix but couldn't justify the cost - SWMBO has an EOS 400 so we already have a sort of top line camera.

Ah, you're the masochistic type - I really really must make sure
