I really want to spend $300 or less, but I can probably spend about $350 for the right camera (even the SX 40HS is selling for $316, which is fine).  One of my concerns with the SX40, however, is that it has a DIGIC 4 processor.  If the 5 is out, why would I buy the older one?  Also, does the DIGIC 5 really offer vastly improved performance over the 4?

Yes, that was my mistake.  I believe the SX50 (a brand-new model) only has a DIGIC 4.
