If you are looking at the S2 then definitely go for the
Panasonic Lumix FZ-5...the lense is from Leica and is worth a couple hundred itself which is amazing since the camera can be had for great deals (check www.fatwallet.com ). Plus it has optical image stablization, Lumix was the first in the industry to offer image stabilization on their digital cameras (digital camcorders excluded)...now they offer them in their entire line even on the small zooms.
If she is willing to carry a slightly larger but more capable camera with a manual focus ring and more...go with the FZ-20
BUT my guess the reason you are looking at the S2 is for the large zoom...while maintaining somewhat of a small size am I right? If so the FZ-20 is overkill...but if she does want the big zooms...the ultimate camera may be around the corner
and it is a compact 10x zoom and by Nikon:http://www.letsgodigital.org/html/re...amera_EN1.html

I am a firm believer in SLR, except for small portable point and shoot cameras.
The digital Rebel may be down close to $500 with all of the upcoming rebates. Worth taking a look at. Then you can swap out lenses and get things like high zoom, image stabilization, etc. (Just remember, SLR = big and heavy.. so if thats not acceptable, ignore SLR!)

I'll be there this Saturday...I don't know how long i'll be able to hang out but I'm sure I can stay for an hour or 2....some people don't find my interests very exciting that will be tagging along..... 
I'm sure you guys no what I'm talking about!
I guess anytime in the afternoon will work for me....it takes me about 4 hours to get to minneapolis so I guess 2pm or later works for me!
Thanks guys for working with me on a time....I'd have to leave at 7ish if you guys did something early in the morning...
I like to sleep in....

Ok this Saturday Nov 12 at 1pm is the time, Papajoey will show up around 2pm.
Lets just finalize the location as we could meet up first waiting for others to arrive (ie papajoe) and chatting about cars...somewhere warm.
THen go on a short drive (max hour long, but a drive isn't required).
Then meet up again.
The one thing that would be great is an indoor underground parking lot...I can't think of one at the moment but hopefully soon...also a place to meet up...I'd like to have it at my place but as ted knows it is a mess right now as we are remodeling....so someone's place or a public place/restaraunt/bar would be good too.
Lets figure it out in the next couple hours and I'll send out a mass email.

This is what I am thinking about using for my Magellan Roadmate 700 (eventually to be 760).

A-Pillar pods would be nice.
How often do you look at your guages?
More than an LCD?
The air bag doesn't come out of it only a string that drops down along the back side of it.
Couple of pics of the side air bag deployed:
