I'm retired well, I had my own business, I put my 3 kids thru college and they are doing very well, in fact 2 are wall sreet exec's and one is a large pharma exec. , It doesn't change my view that it's wrong for the rich to get get richer, and keep the workers struggling to just make ends meet.

Ol sarg doesn't have the right to bad mouth, insult, about 90 percent of the people who have posted here. In his eyes, nearly everyone on this site, now, or in the past has been "ignorant", "stupid", "an idiot", or "disloyal." He, in turn, has misrepresented himself, attempted to change what others have written in an attempt to make it appear that they have misrepresented facts, and he has lied on numerous occasions.

Other than that I suppose he is a right upstanding fellow.

But probably won't be available until November 1st.

If you're not in a hurry, OP, it would be a good idea to wait. The price on the SX40 will drop considerably after the SX50 is announced. Or you might just decide you want the SX50 instead.

No, I don't think it's Romney's China Syndrome. I think it is much more serious than that. I believe that his eligibility to run for governor in MA is the issue. I believe that he perpetuated felony fraud and is attempting to bury it. He is an astute man of business which requires a level of cleverness (dishonesty) and he is very hopeful that it will just go away. After he loses officially loses the election I believe the justice department should actively pursue an intense criminal investigation. This would deter felons from running for public office.

Besides all the crap the Tea Party folks want to spell out to the voters that won't make a difference. Most voters have already made up their decision who to vote for. All the campaining that goes on now and up to the election is for show. Romney like I've said before has squandered his chances by picking Ryan. One of the states where Romney has a problen is Florida where 65% of the voters are snow birds who rely on social Security and medicare and the Republicans have scared the hell out of those folks and the polls are showing that President Obama leads Romney by at least 7 percentage points. Not hardly a chance the R&R boys will turn that state around for them. Romney has opened up the door by getting into an open debate on Medicare when he picked Ryan. That along with the Republican stance on Social Security has branded the R&R boys the robbers of Senior's life styles all over this country. It's going to be interesting to see how the Republican convention progresses and to what extent the R&R boys get a bump coming out of it. It's not going to be much and the polls are starting to show that. When you go out and consistantly tell outrageous lies one after another and not be expecting the voting public to not pick up on them your are not kidding anyone but yourself.

I dont like eather one but I will vote for the lier I know and not the lier I dont know. We dont know anything about the lier in the whitehouse. We need to get him out before we have no country left. What did he say? Ill cut the dept in half in my first term or I wont be around for my second term. My my he tripled it. We know nothing about this guy whoever he is. We just know he tells lie after lie and wants to take this once great country down and has the wool pulled over the american peoples eyes. I know this wont set well with the libs. but wake up before its too late. We will take care of the other liers in the next election. Maby they will get it through their lobby money grabing head that we are getting sick of their bribe taken on both sides.
