I'd take the plunge! You won't regret it, you'll get some great shots.

That smile detection thing sounds awesome. It's like pulling teeth to get my 2-year-old to smile for a picture. When she finally smiles, between my slow reaction time and the afore-mentioned shutter lag, I usually miss the smile altogether. And don't get me started on Sears Portrait Studio because that would be almost completely off topic. The mp3/slideshow feature, however, is truly lame. It's like the design team were all sitting around one day and said "Hey, what kind of useless crap can we add to this camera so it looks like we weren't just lolly fartin' around between the last model and this one?" Worthless. You don’t have kids, do you? That smile detection thing sounds awesome. It’s like pulling teeth to get my 2-year-old to smile for a picture.
