Answer 1

Sure sell it if you must to finance your next camera purchase, but it's considered a great point-and-shoot. I might wanna hang on to it.  

Take a look at the links below and see the great pictures you can take from a Canon PowerShot. The cameras on those pages are pretty much the same as the one you have.

great Canon at $200

your camera is worth selling-but not for a large amount of money. i sold my old cameras a) to a friend who wanted a camera but didn't have a lot of extra cash, and b) on ebay (kind of cliche, but I did sell it!) they can be great for back up though....

you can get canon cameras at places like Best Buy, Future Shop, etc. or I bought a camera for my sister on ebay (i know i know-cliche) and I got a great camera!

Look at the Canon A-620 or something in the Canon A series. They are good camera's and the controlls will be similar to your A-540.

The problem with the ultra thin camera's is they have to make compromises in order to make them so slim. If your A-540 is in very good shape it is worth $85 tops. You may want to keep it as a back up.Also the A-620 uses the same batteries AA and memory card so you won't have to buy them again.
