New camera?

They threw in a 2 gig sd card too. I like how cheap it is - all together with shipping it was $309. I don't think I'm a serious enough photographer for anything more expensive, especially considering how fast cameras get outdated or in my case, damaged.

The old A540 will not zoom any more. If I try, it says "lense error restart camera" and then just die. Autofocus won't work either any more on it - pics come out blurry, but manual and macro manual still work, and video still comes out alright. Canon said they'd take the camera and give me a reconditioned A560 for $85 with a 6 month replacement guarantee. Should I take the offer?
