Considering upgrading from Finepix S700 to F660EXR.

I've been on this site all night long reviewing possible cameras to purchase and I'm going crazy! So many choices. So many side-by-sides.    I think I have settled on the F660EXR.

I'm a casual user.  garden shots, family shots, pet shots.

The S700 was okay, nothing great. Disappointing indoors at family parties.  I 99% use auto everything.  The pre-set scenes are nice sometimes.  It's definitely too bulky though.  Lately I end up using my phone more than bringing my S700 (which is also slightly broken).  A smaller camera may bring me back again to real camera usage.

I am ready for a smaller camera but not ultra compact.  The EXR series seems like a good size (although I have not seen it in person) and the 660 is a good pricepoint.  20x zoom would be nice, but I think I can be happy with 15x for the price.

I just don't know if it's a good camera!!?!?!   It certainly seems more advanced than what I have now.

Does the F660EXR seem like a reasonable upgrade path?  Any other brands/models worth considering that I may have missed.   The Canon Powershot SX160 was in my sights for awhile, but I dropped it for some reason.
