We're in similar places. When I first got into this about six years ago, I was semi-retired but working part time for myself with a consulting operation that kept a decent $$ coming in. Then a couple years later I stopped but we still had decent toy money. But my wife is getting ready to join me in retirement later this year and we're gonna have a few years of relative austerity until all of our benefits kick in. So, plenty of time to enjoy, but we're gonna have to find reasonably inexpensive ways to enjoy it for a while...Well Ray you most certainly gave the X70 an excellent workout. Kudos to you. I'm still working through the uniquenesses of the camera. Impulse buys, aka GAS attacks, are an issue for me too as I will be fully retired as of June 1st. More time for photography, (and family), less money for toys, so I hear you loud and clear on the impulse buying thing.
Thanks for your input on the X70, your thoughts, as always, are greatly appreciated.

28mm is kind of a sweet spot of mine so I wouldn't have had any trouble adjusting to it, other than not being able to move from general shooting to a street setup quite as quickly as I'm used to. I could have easily adapted to that. But in the end it doesn't really add anything to my Coolpix A except for a couple of different bells and whistles and that's the kind of thing I really have to stop buying!
I'd love to have kept it, but didn't even slightly need it. Enjoy yours!
