Point and Shoot Camera advice

[ZLTFUL]

I already have a DSLR...with some kick *** lenses, a nice tripod and monopod, filters, flashes, etc etc etc.
The problem is, it and all of its supporting gear are most definitely not bike travel friendly.

What I am looking for are some suggestions on a quality, inexpensive point and shoot that I can carry with me on the bike.
I want fast shutter speeds as that seems to be the biggest fault with most inexpensive P&S cameras.
I would like a high optical zoom.
Preferably SDHC compatible.
Inexpensive and/or very tough as I fully expect it to be dropped off a moving motorcycle at some point.

We currently have a couple and they are very nice for static shots but even tiny movement ruins otherwise great pics.

As I said, this is for bike trips so it doesn't have to be DSLR quality shots but I would like to snap pics on the road of some of the sights I will see and I am not about to risk a $1200 camera body and $300-$2500 worth of glass getting shots with the good camera.

So...suggest away!

Sony HX10V - very high optical zoom and maybe a bit more pricey than the normal point-and-shoot, but they definitely have their stuff together when it comes to image quality, especially video capabilities. My brother has the predecessor HX9V and it just blows any other compact camera I have seen out of the water.

Not a tough camera, for that you'd probably rather want to get something like a sports camera, but I am sure that would mean making other compromises. Maybe a good idea to get a good, tough case for your camera, that should help if it does get dropped.

Ended up with an S100...so far, I love the **** out of it.
Very fast shutter, decent aperture and a good optical zoom.

If I am going out to actually take pics, I grab the DSLR and my sling bag with whatever lenses I will need for whatever I am shooting.

I just wanted this for something to keep on the bike in case I see something cool I want to snap a shot of.

I was going to suggest a smartphone :-P my HTC Amaze 4g has 8mp camera with F2.2 lens. In good light it takes some pretty decent photos for a cell phone... even has nice bokeh. Then right from the phone you can immediately share with friends, family, strangers via internet

f2.2? That sensor must be microscopic!
