you know, I used to feel the same way, but in a couple a years it will be obsolete anyway and not worth much so take it for those good pics. I have my old dig rebel with the zoom and gave it to my kid.
Get a good bag and keep it in the bag and take it out for the special shot. Keep the pocket digital for the regular action. I like canon lenses too, that is the only reason I keep buying their camera. Most of the money is in the lens anyway, so just upgrade cameras and keep the lens.
What is amazing about that camera is how fast it is. You turn it on...and it is on, you push the button and it starts cranking photos fast!. I got an 8 GB card and it does the job. The battery is also very good.
I wish I would have had that camera for when I had that blue marlin on...I am kicking myself for not bringing it. The pocket cameras just can't take those kind of photos, the lens is just too small.
