Need recommendations for a new camera?

Question

I had a Kodak EasyShare M753, but lost it at a football game yesterday. Even though I left a message with the campus' lost-and-found, I have high doubts anyone turned it in. Since my camera was two years old, I know the same model is not sold in stores anymore. Therefore, I'm shopping around for a new camera. I want another Kodak camera similar to the M753. I want one with a rechargeable battery, a variety of modes and scene settings, and has as much zoom as possible for under $200. Pocket-size would be a plus, too. Keep in mind I'm one of those types that takes my picture-taking seriously.

Update:

After seeing some of the recommendations and doing a little more research, I've narrowed it down to two cameras, both Kodak: the M381 and the M340. Help me decide which of those two to get.
