I agree w/the above. Canon seems to have the best point-and-shoot engine. Not superfast focus (none have that), but the image quality is great. I'm on my 3rd Canon in 3 years (S30, SD450, SD500) and loved them all until I broke them.
For a true digital SLR camera, though, the Nikon D50 is a good deal, and in the kit form can be had for almost as much as the S80 (a point-and-shoot I drool over, but is too big for me). Upgrade to a D70 and your image quality and features will be even better. Can't speak to the Canon SLRs, but I'm a Nikon SLR guy, so they can all piss off...
