I was going to say how are the mighty fallen. Like the Duck, I still
have my Electro 35cc which was in many ways the most useful film camera
I ever owned. I'm still using a ten year old small sensor digital (Ixus
850 IS) which is pretty much it's modern equivalent, when I just need a
pocket camera.

I got my Ixux 50 replaced, sorta with the 70 when a battery battery
failed. I always get myself at least two. As it turned out the cheapest
way to replace it was getting a used 70 and thus the 50 got retired! I
found the Xperia M4 to be the Pocket Instamatic replacement, but the EOS
M is with me often enough and that is the camera that I use the most.
The Ixus 70 takes great pictures for it's size though. It's even smaller
than your 850!

Nothing wrong with that!

I'm old fashioned though, I hate anything without a proper viewfinder.

It does have a viewfinder and I have other cameras...

That said, I was doing macro beyond 1:1 (based on screen size) with its
big brother the G10 for forensic engineering at a nuclear power station
only last week, and of course you have to frame macros using the screen
rather than the viewfinder because of parallax error.

I wouldn't buy a classic Leica for macro even though those Visoflex
thingies are way cool...
