Hi Judith,
It would be worthwhile looking at the Pentax K100D, which is a full
digital SLR and can be picked up from just under $900, depending on
the lens. This gives you the advantage of being able to use any
Pentax K mount lens ever made and it has shake reduction. You can
have a look at it at http://shop.centre.net.au/index.html?

I have used a Pentax *istD which is very similar,for nearly three now
with great results.
One point to remember about viewfinders is make sure it is a true
optical. I have a Fuji FinePix S 5500, which is a great little
camera, but it has a miniature LCD screen view finder, like most
video camera. The image in the finder is fuzzier and it has the
problem of image lag when you follow a moving object, to the point
where I find myself "chimping" more and more.
Whatever you buy , enjoy,
Carl Clifford
