After a couple years of using my faithful Minolta Dimage Z1 I've just upgraded to a new camera! I ended up getting a Nikon D40 with the kit lens (18-55mm) and I'm already loving it! It's a little hard to get used to a more professional camera that doesn't try to hold your hand as much but I'm getting there. I also ordered the Nikon 55-200mm AF-S VR lens, so that should keep me busy for a while.
Keep an eye on Flickr for some photos from the new camera in the near future!
