Here's the final word from Steve's Digicams. His reviews are always reliable:

If you're looking for a light-weight, stylish, moderately-priced digicam that is versatile enough to handle most family events while getting you close to sports action or wildlife, the SONY Cyber-shot H1 should be high on your list. You should also consider the Canon PowerShot S2 IS. Both cameras carry similar specifications and are capable of delivering high-quality images. The S2 IS advantages include better Continuous AF tracking of moving subjects, industry-leading movie mode, articulating LCD monitor, faster shutter speeds, greater playback magnification, and greater continuous shooting speed and buffer depth. On the other hand, the H1 provides better indoor flash and AF-assist performance, a larger LCD monitor, lower image noise at high ISO settings, shorter shutter lag and faster AF performance.

DPReview, another great site for reviews, gives it a 'highly recommended'. See here for the full review: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sonydsch1/
As for the price, the best I can find from a reliable vendor is $299 from Wolf: http://www.wolfcamera.com/product/CLR542083043.htm

I have a Sony DSC-F717 I like it a lot it easy to use, takes great pics it is a little big but it is a very high end cammera with a great zoom with a Carl Zeiss lens the lens alone makes the camera great. I woul go to price grabber.com or if you are in no hurry you keep low bidding on ebay like I did it took a few weeks but I saved around $400 just by sitting in front of the puter a few hours. Good luck

My heavens, I never have been flashed, but I did unintentionally flash a few folks once. I was in the hospital some time back and decided to take a stoll to the vending area. Well, I wasn't thinking about what I was wearing and, let's just say that those hospital gowns don't leave a lot to the imagination on the backside. The nurse came up from behind me and put a blanket over my shoulders . . . I was wondering why it was a little drafty back there!
