A couple of thoughts. First, there's nothing wrong with an older camera. I use a Fuji S1 as a backup -- and I shoot with it from time to time to make sure it's in shape. Nothing wrong with the images I get from that camera. I do like my S2 better -- but nothing wrong with the older one.
However, how many shots has this camera gone through? That was one reason I bought my S2 when I did. The shutter on a camera has an expected life. So many thousand images. I'm sure it will reliably perform beyond that rating -- but how much farther???? Get a little history on the camera and compare it to Canon's specs.
