Dear Olympus, you're making me _need_ a new camera ...

Got an email from Olympus today about the shiny new SP-820UZ camera that they're bringing out.
40x optical zoom!
Yes I did type that correctly: 40x optical zoom.
AA batteries (can buy them just about anywhere)
Okay it would require buying some new memory cards since they've moved on to SD type rather than xD that my (now over 5 year old) SP-550UZ uses and no view finder, just screen on the back but I very rarely use the view finder anyway.
Googled it and one site said scheduled to go on sale from the end of September 2012 priced at £279.99.
I have a convention to go to first weekend of November ...
Yes you've got it, me wants!
Me thinks I'll be asking family for contributions towards it for my birthday.
