Save a fuck ton of money, get a Stylus Epic, and see how you like it. Very real chance you won't feel the need to upgrade. If you do want to upgrade, selling the Epic will be no problem.
Aside from pocketability , the biggest perk of shooting a point and shoot is having it be a semi-disposable piece of gear that you don't stress about.
Owning a $500+ point and shit would defeat the purpose, for me at least.
PS Yashica T4s are absolute dogshit
