Hi Bernie,
In that price range, I'd recommend getting a low-end digital SLR. A couple you might consider:
Sony's Alpha a100: This is the new Sony dSLR, their first. It's a redesign of Konica-Minolta's old dSLR line, as Sony recently bought out Minolta's camera business. It features a 10 megapixel sensor, image stabilization built into the body (works with all lenses), and backward compatibility with Minolta's autofocus lenses. It's getting great reviews and can be had for around $650 without a lens, or a little under $1000 with a 18-200mm lens (wide angle to telephoto).
Pentax's K100D: This is one of the cheapest digital SLRs available, but it rivals cameras that cost nearly twice as much in terms of quality. It too has in-body image stabilization technology, and is much beloved by users. It has a 6MP sensor, much smaller than the A100's, but 6MP is plenty for most people's purposes. There's no kit with a wide-angle-to-telephoto lens, buy you can buy it with the kit 18-55mm lens for ~$550 and spend another $200 or so on this telephoto lens, which gives you a body and two lenses at a much smaller price than the Sony.
Hope this helps!
