nikkon is good.
canon is good.
i don't know. talk to the people there.

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

Mikerock

yeah especially their SLR, that thing is garbage, horrible zoom, you can't change lenses, piece of junk if you ask me.
