Your camera has erectile dysfunction, which the #1 P&S killer. It'll generally cost you much more to fix than to buy a new camera.

Bending when the camera gets bumped or dropped while the lens is extended. All you need is one out of the many tiny gears or parts to fall out of alignment and the lens is toast.

If not, you may be able to get a new one for cheap through Canon's Loyalty Program
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

I don't think it helps to have more than one old camera (unless you want multiple new ones). You call and tell them what model camera you have, and they tell you which ones you can get and for what price. If you don't like what they offer you, HUCA, because each rep says something different. OTOH, if you do like what they offer, it may pay to grab it since the next rep might not be able to give it to you.

Also note that the cameras you get are factory refurbished (it means they sat around in the factory, so they opened the box to make sure it works), and have a 90 day warranty. They are like half price, though.
