Default new camera

i currently have an old kodak easyshare camera (not sure what model) and i want to try to get a little bit better camera. the one i have now is either 3 or 4 megapixels if i remember right. what would be a good camera to step up to. ive been looking at the kodak z915 but i dont know anything about cameras and figured id get an opinion from you guys.

What will you be capturing?

For RC and general use my vote goes to the the Fujifilm F70EXR. Lots of optical zoom, plenty of megapixels, very nice burst mode to get those action shots, good quality video with sound, and a reasonable price.

I had a Powershot A(something) and it was a good build and shot very well for the price.

So, being a Canon fanboy and having the predecessor to this camera I suggest the A1000IS.

I would stay away from the Polaroid i1035, if you were looking at it (probably not). It isn't very reliable. The microphone recording sound in videos broke in the first day using it, and Polaroid said they won't cover it, plus its kinda jerky.
