I was literally going to by a Canon A85 yesterday when I saw that the
A85's replacement the A520 is coming out next month. The new camera is
smaller, lighter and more importantly has a better lens. The telephoto
extends 35-140mm in 35mm equivalent. Is the A85 going to be
discounted to current prices? If the price of the A85 is discounted
this camera will be a great deal. Will the A520 cost stigmatically
more then the A85 and if so will it more worth the added cost.
