I bought one as soon as I saw the ad where the dog had it in his mouth (MJU700 I think) and it is still going strong.

It has been canyoning in the bluies (water mist/droplets can be a bit annoying but with a 1 gB card you can take 500+ HQ pics so your bound to salvage some gooduns), driving through the cape, rafting the Tully and N. Johnston, climbing.

But my biggest clincher is I droppped it out of my top pocket at the top of Tinaroo Dam wall where it tumbled 35+ metres to the ground AND SURVIVED - I did this about 5 months after buying it in 2006.

I rate them highly for the robustness alone clip it to your harness, throw it in your bag or kayak. Since you dont have to worry about breaking it youre more likely to have it on hand I reckon.
