Or switch to Canon. Canon has had a substantial lead on digital 
technology that the others have been playing catch up with for years. 
And the ergonomics of Canon are pretty good. I'm *really* hard on 
cameras and my Canon A95 is still ticking (so's my Rebel and elph). It's 
had a *lot* of exposures clicked through it.
