Who's got which photo camera and why

Okay. So I've been shooting the entire 2009 Subsim meet with my Sony K850i phone, from which the camera is the only part that still works nicely, but I've since then decided that I'm kind of ready to move on to the next level of photography.

There's only one problem: where to start and how on earth do I choose the right camera for my needs.

So I figured I'd ask the lot of you to share with me, and whomever else might be in the same position I'm in, what camera you use, the pros and cons about it and, if you want to answer that, what it roughly costs so that I can take all that info and project it onto my needs and at least end up with a place to start looking.

Obviously I have done some looking around already and will be taking a digital reflex camera I borrowed from work with me for the weekend just to see if that works for me but the possibilities are endless and choosing one is just a harsh task.

Searching on these forums have resulted in a lot of 'external camera' and 'photo recon' threads but not a real life photo camera thread as such so I figured I'd start one. You know, just for the experience.
