Hey /p/, I need some info.

I've been looking to getting into photography, and I want to get a decent camera which I can carry around with me on my trips and get good pictures. (I know it depends mostly on me, but a good camera seems important aswell).

I was looking at the Fujifilm Finepix S1000, and it seemed to have everything I wanted (even the looks), but I just read it had no optical stabilization, and that's a must for me, so, what camera of the style would you reccomend? Should I stick to this one and learn to use it without Optical stabilization?

Thanks.

I personally like my Canon Powershot S5 for the compromise between cost, expandability (Lensmateonline.com FTW), and the ability to record 640x480x30fps video.

My mate has a Canon 450D, the two lens pack, and I've played with that as well. Even with my lack of experience it seems to take pretty decent photos.
