Re: SX260 HS to SX700 HS or wait for SX710 HS?

Thanks for the comments on the SX700.  I had an SX110 a long time ago, and I hated to raise the flash all the time.  I wonder if the SX710 will have that as well?

As for the SX280, I returned it right after I bought it, because it did have the video issue with the battery, though I think the firmware fix was out already.  I only bought it literally for a day (Target told me I could return it, and I think they felt badly for me because someone dropped my 260 at a rehearsal dinner for a wedding the night before and I was left without a camera!).

As for a more expensive camera, I definitely cannot afford that right now.  I really can't even afford this, but I can't be without a camera for numerous reasons, and I definitely am not a person who can or wants to rely on a cellphone camera.  I also do not want to switch to another brand of camera because I really don't like other brands, I have a Canon printer, and a huge part of this is that other cameras in this price range from other manufacturers are made in China, and unless there is no other viable alternative, I refuse to buy made in China.  These Canons are made in Japan.  I'm sure there are Chinese components, but if it's stamped "Made in Japan" as opposed to "China," that's the route I take.
