Answer 1

Canon makes the best digital cameras. They jumped into digital camera technology with both feet before it started to boom -- now all the other companies are scrambling to catch up. They're the best in terms of ease of use and value for your dollar. Yahoo Shopping is a great place to comparison shop for digital cameras.

Answer 2

there is no best digital camera.



The first thing you need to realize is that everyone has different tastes in what they like or don't like. I like very sharp images so I don't like Kodaks... I like lots of saturation in my pictures so I don't like Sonys... every camera incorporate someones view of what a good picture should be. You really need to look at the result of cameras to determine what YOU like. Then go find that camera in a store and hold it... see if it feels right... if it does then you just found the best camera for you; just realize that it wont be the best for others only for you.



http://www.imaging-resource.com/IMCOMP/COMPS01.HTM



is the best site I know of for comparing pictures from different cameras. The site goes to great lengths to make sure each image is the same subject from camera to camera so you can compare. When you narrow it down to two images you think you like copy those to a disk and take them to the place you will be going to to print your own pictures... have them print them and look at the images now, because what they look like on the monitor isn't always what you will get when printed.

Answer 3

I'd suggest the Canon SD1000.



It's pretty sleek and stylish, but it has exeptional picture quality for a camera of it's size.



Here's some more info on it:
