Dear Canon PowerShotA40,

You have served me well for over 6 years. In fact, you are still well and kicking in your snappy gray glory. But it is time for me to move on to a smaller and slimmer model- one that I can slip in my pocket and cart around on trips without a large case. The separation may be a difficult one, but I am ready. I hope you are.

With fond memories.
