Hmm... what Kodak Easyshare have you been using?
btw, Punk, that Olympus MAY be okay, but I've heard some bad things about Olympus (both their PAS models and their SLRs.) I'd recommend a Canon... other good brands are Nikon and Fuji.
The best camera I know of for the money is the
Fuji S700, but then that isn't exactly compact...
Probably your best bet for a compact cam is a Canon... this one looks pretty good:
