SX500 replacement

[trigwynt]

I realise the SX500 received mixed reviews both in the UK and USA, but is there likely to be an upgrade (for want of a better word) such as an SX600?

I've got the excellent SX40 but would like something a tad smaller that I can take with me when I'm out and about with work.

Thanks

Have you considered something even smaller like a Canon S100/S110? It will fit in a pocket, and I believe is a much better camera than the SX500/600 unless you need the 30x zoom. (I'm personally buying a S100 myself.)
