Kay, you take great photos... so, if you were to recommend a decent digital camera for just an every day person to use, what would you recommend??

I had posted in another thread I have an HP Photosmart something or other (can't recall it at the moment and it's downstairs). I had a Nikon before this, although I traded up on the megapixels (2.0 to 5.1). The resolution on this baby is great, but the shutter time, it just bites. I can't change it to anything faster, just to delay it, which, I have no idea why I'd want it slower at this point!

I can't afford a ton (and I bought this one on ebay for about $175.00 last fall). I'll probably re-ebay it and then use those proceeds to help finance another one.

Anyway... any thoughts on what to buy???
