I questioned the facxt that it is not waterproof  but was told that there will be a new waterproof IS50 out in the new year if i wanted to wait. As it was a xmas present i couldn't. My wife seams happy with the MM2 but i am not sure how much abuse it will take. I know you can buy a stay-on-case or the grippa strap but i am not convinced. I payed £300 with free delivery for an MM2 ( Non ED) with standard 25x lens and a pair of Discovery WP PC 10x42 Bins. They also said if i wasn't happy i could return them for a full refund. Hope that helpsIan</blockquote>
