Wanting to buy a digital camera

I liked the features in the sony cybershot R1, but it's too expensive
for me, can anyone help me find a reasonable alternative?

buy a Nikon or Canon. They have the best quality by far.

If R1 is too expensive, how much do you want to spend? How about a Canon
Powershot S2 IS?

This is like dejevua all over again!

When considering digital cameras, take a look at how they
connect to their "home" computer. For years, I've used a
Fuji camera and just bought Mrs. Nonnymus a Z1 Fuji for in
her purse. Both connect through a "dock" that both keeps
the camera powered and also is its USB connection to the
computer for download. It's as simple as dropping the
camera into the slot, and sure saves a lot of cables.

The new camera Mrs. Nonnymus is currently fighting and
cussing as she learns the ropes, is great for travel. It is
smaller and thinner than a deck of cards. She'll be
carrying it in her purse, once she gets the hang of it, and
that means it can get bumped and bruised. In the case of
the 5.1 megaPixel Fuji Z1, the lens never extends outside
the case, even when shooting telephoto, and the entire
camera lens/face is protected by a sliding cover. The large
screen on the camera's back is REINFORCED as well, to
protect it in a pocket or purse.

We once had a Kodak digital camera that we dropped on the
lens while handling it. The camera was trashed. Likewise,
my older and larger Fuji has a lens that extends well beyond
the camera when turned on. I once had it in my front pants
pocket and the button got bumped. By the time I realized
what had happened, three ladies and one bartender had asked
for my hand in marriage and even Mrs. Nonnymus was viewing
me in a whole new light.

Mrs. Nonnymus won't let me play with her new camera, yet,
but the pictures I've seen are very bright and colorful.
The camera can also shoot movies in 640 X 480, which is
plenty good to view on a computer screen.

The Fuji Z1 (at Sam's Club) also comes with a 256 meg chip
as the Sam's Club bonus. I also understand that Sony now
offers a camera with the internally zooming lens, so I
suspect that this is the direction many cameras are headed.
