I would replace it. You can get either the SX50HS or the SX40HS for about $329...

Take a look at Cybertony's beautiful images, both cameras are great:

I am aware that the SX40 is going for $329 at any Walmart that still has it in stock. The SX50 is going for the same at Amazon, although I've seen it going for as little as $279 through one Brooklyn, NY storefront (which may or may not be a Canon authorized reseller).

I'm not objecting to the price on either camera and I think we can all agree that Canon products almost invariably produce beautiful images at default settings.
