What types of cameras do you all use?

[L.M.]

I'm sure this has been posted a million times over, but I was just wondering if some of you can recommend a camera for me to buy my husband for his 30th birthday.  Neither of us are great photographers by any means, but we certainly take a ton of pictures.  I'm not looking to spend a huge amount of money...in the past we have had a Sony and right now have a cannon powershot.  I'm not looking for anything really fancy, but maybe something one step up from the cameras we have used in the past.  We have a baby on the way and some of you have such beautiful pictures posted, I figured I would get some feedback before making a purchase.  Thanks! =)

Thanks so much everyone!  You have convinced me to get a DSLR.....I'm going to shop around and compare some prices...if there are any DSLR cameras that you would definitely NOT recommend please let me know.  I saw a few Canons that were within my price range.
