Digital cameras?

Okay, the birthday is approaching and I've floated the idea with yon parents about acquiring a new digital camera. My current one is an older model HP Photosmart 215 -- very clunky and bulky. I'd like something fairly slim and portable that doesn't cost a fortune. You've seen examples of what I generally take pictures of -- travel and/or needlework. What do other people use and/or recommend?

I love and adore my Nikon Coolpix p50. I tested over a dozen cameras before choosing this one. The entire Coolpix line is fantastic, but I especially love mine for its size, price and ability. The zoom is unbelievably crisp and the video produces clear picture and sound as well. It also comes bundled with a really great program for uploading from your camera to the computer - that program has made my life so easy. You see my pictures every day, and I think we shoot about the same things.
