That's the reason it's a good idea to browse sites like DPReview (www.dpreview.com) and Steve's Digicam (www.steves-digicams.com/camera-reviews). They do extensive testing of new models and often have old reviews of a model you currently own. You can easily get "MEGO" (My Eyes Glaze Over) but after reading a few reviews of units in the price range, configuration, size, et al. of your future camera, you can get a good feel for the pluses and minuses you are making in your buying choices.
