I have loved using my Canon PowerShot S2Is. I would post a picture of it but, it keeps sending me an E18 message and shutting down. You can see it here: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canons2is/
So, I called Canon and they are sending me a refurbished Rebel XT, see here:

for about the same amount that it would cost me to repair this one. It comes with everything a new one does, and a 6 month warranty on parts and labor.
I will miss the video recorder on my old camera, that was really handy, and it is smaller.
I have always wanted a Rebel, I had a film Rebel years ago. It took marvelous pictures and I have really missed it for portraits and family pictures. It is rather heavy to use as a daily camera and not one you can easily put in your purse and carry around. I am glad to get it though. It will be a learning curve adventure as I learn to use it. I already have two lens and they are sending me another, yea!! That makes it a little easier to say goodbye to my old one.
