Since I know you're thinking about a new digital camera, thought I'd leave you a couple relevant links.
Nikon's digital line - Yeah, I had to put that one first. As you know, Nikon owns my soul, and the soul of at least two other members of my family. I'm mostly familiar with the d-series (from long-term use of one and mindless oggling of another), but I've heard good things about the Coolpix line, too.
Kodak's offerings Kodak makes a good product, too. My first digital was a Kodak Easyshare.
A nice general reference - Popular Photography is a very handy publication and usually a great resource for digital camera reviews (and tips). Dad's had a subscription forever (and to Mom's chagrin, has never learned how to throw old issues away without excessive prompting).
I'll refrain from pushing the Nikon too hard, much as I may love mine. *g*
