i need to buy a new camera

The current digital camera I own is such a piece of crap. It can barely hold a charge and turns off in the middle of taking a picture. I'm so sick of it. I so want a new camera. Any suggestions? The sony cameras are decent for a little more there's kodak and cannon. I just don't know. I promise you this, I'm not going back to 35mm. It's just not instant enough.
