The funny thing is, I did buy a new camera a year or so ago - only it wasn't a Canon, it was a Fuji Finepix. I'm sure it is a fine camera for someone who likes Fuji's and can use it to its maximum potential. Just not me. I tried, but never warmed uip to its conventions and idiosyncracies. I also thought of just getting a newer Canon. They look mighty fine, and the Powershot A530 is now very reasonably priced. But I just couldn't bring myself to do that. Rialian has one and loves it, and has said I can borrow it. I never have. Nah, I just wanted my A10 back.
