Camera two:

EITHER a compact alrounder for up to $1000

or

a DSLR/lens for no more than $1500.00

None of these are for astronomical use since I already have a ccd, but for general family pics and a dabble in the arty farty in camera 2's case

Help in the decision making process would be really appreciated.

cheers

Camera One:

Either a Canon IXUS 80 IS or IXUS 90 IS, both just over $300.

Camera Two:

Either the Canon G9 or soon to be realeased G10 (both under $1000), great allrounder, also does RAW

or

A Canon 40D Kit with 17-85mm IS USM lens kit (Just over $1500)
