I have dropped the D1 and D1h from walking heights onto concrete and 
pavement and they survived. I am less confident of the D70. But I have 
not held one so I will have to try it out(Not dropping one thought).  I 
am sorry to hear that  the M7 is not as robust. I thought that the 
Leica range finders where a very hardy breed. How then is their weather 
seals?

Cheers,
Chris
