So I just went and drooled over the camera that I want to buy. 
Mmmm. And just in case I needed more justification for buying it, last night at Kristen’s birthday party, my poor baby PowerShot A70 slid off top of the TV where it was supposed to be taking a picture of all of us, crashing to its (near) death on the floor. My pictures survived, and the camera seems to be almost okay, but if I try to put a memory card in it, it says there’s a memory card error. Bummer.
