speakeasy,
I hear you.
I am kind of looking at this as something to grow into.
Also for the "prop" factor for swooping girls.
Plus, I have a good friend who works at Sony corporate and get get a lights out deal.
I just want to make sure I am not getting something super wack.

I know girls love them! They love a guy who is "on camera"..... they love being in front of a camera and they love holding one. I am seriously considering following G's advice and becoming a photographer. Camera game is a nice angle.....75 percent of the girls i talk to are down to make a "homemade movie". Last week a girl told me that she had just downloaded the new "imovie" ...then she kinda giggled....

Even pro photographers I know have a compact camera, like a Canon Powershot
for everyday use. They take great photos... I'd look at the Powershot SD series.
They have built-in image stabilization so they work well in lower light situations, without having to use a flash (which can be pretty annoying, particularly if you want to be discreet).
These cameras aren't that expensive and they're good to have anyway even if you eventually get a DSLR. DSLR's are too much camera for most situations. They're bulky to travel with, and then you also have to worry about attracting the wrong kind of attention/getting it stolen.
If you do want to go that route anyway, look at the Canon Rebel DSLR series (i think there is one called the "G" of course). I think Canons are better cameras than Sonys.. as it's their specialty.. They make better lenses and that's what a good camera ultimately comes down to (at least in the pre-dig. era). Which is not to say the sony is a bad camera. I'm sure they're good.
So, I'd say: Get a Canon Powershot and eventually a Canon DSLR as well
As for prop factor, if the girls are savvy at all, they'll know that a real photographer wouldn't use the s90. In that case you're talking about a high-end Canon for like $5k.
