canon, pansonic with the leica lens, fuji, konica/minolta, nikkon are all very good. Kodak doesn't build theirs it's some chinese company, sony can't decide on a format, plus teh picture quality is not that great for the money charged. Don't fall into the megapixel trap unless you plan on doing a poster 3 megapixels will give as good a picture as teh huge ones, also forget digital zoom it's marketing garbage I have mine shut off and never miss it

well as someone whos sells these things.

Olympus.
Canon.
Kodak.
Nicon.

3 to 4 megapixel
More optical zoom, the better the zoom.

Its a matter of personal preference.

I used to sell them (still kinda do since I still have the company stuff) had to go to a training class on them and sony came out and said they had probably the worst design
