I am still stuck in the ages of film camera - I love my SLR so much. But I want a digital point and shoot for ease. Any recommendations?

Don't go for a Sony you will regret it. Try Canon and it depends on what you want to do with your camera. If you need some thing simple but high quality, try SD series. Especially SD700is and 800is. A little more complicated models would be A series like A710. These models have better zoom and larger lens but run on AA batteries. If you want better get G7 which has bigger body or the best are SLRs :)

I have a lower end camera but I am looking to upgrade early this year. Your best bet is to read as many reviews as you can on the various wide angle lense cameras from Kodak and Canon digital cams. These brands are the best. Another good starting point is Ebay.

Because you use an SLR, then I would recommend you get a camera with full manual control (aperture & shutter priority) because you probably would want those features.
I would recommend Canon...A640
or for ultra compact & very stylish metal build (but no aperture & shutter priority)...SD700 IS
Or for excellent results in low-light (high ISO, handheld, without flash) consider the Fujifilm F30. It has aperture or shutter priority, but not both.
No other compact can beat it's high ISO capabilities.

Get a digital SLR. You can have the best of both worlds. Odds are your current lenses may fit a dSLR (depending on the brand). I have a Canon dSLR and love it. We also have the Canon SD600 and it also takes great shots.
Check out the Canon XTi (or 30D since you already have SLR experience).

If you're looking for a compact one-
The Canon SD700IS and SD800IS are excellent choices.
For low light- make sure you consider the Fuji's (F20, F30, F31fd).
Or- for great image quality in a compact 28mm wide angle zoom, I like the panasonic FX series.
There are many good choiced out there. Compacts, mid-sized all arounds (like the Canon A710IS http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canona710is/), Superzooms. There are almost no wrong decisions.

I will admit Kegdawg n knows more about this stuff than I'll ever know. I own a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H2, takes great 8X10 photos. Consider it! Also consider checking out Nov'06 Consumer Reports magazine from local library.

BEES KNEES!!! lol who says that anymore.
Well anyway Samsung,Kodak,and Canon are very good brands. I would go with a Kodak. Go to best Buy or Furture sShop and ask them about cameras. They have them on display so you can even test them out. Experts know best.

Sony Cyber-Shot's are really great, and aren't too hard to work. They have many different kinds of Cyber-Shots, so you'll have to research to see which one fits your likings :)
Here are the different Point and Shoot Sony Cyber-Shots:
