  1. sony


  2. try a canon its pretty good

  3. Good brands (in alphabetical order) include Canon, Fuji, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax and Sony (now owns the well known Konica/Minolta brand). The most popular brands are Canon & Nikon but I believe other brands offer more for the money.  Casio & Panasonic are also popular brands with good model selections in your price range.   In very compact and rugged models Olympus & Pentax have some of the best.

    For a good place to look at reviews and compare various cameras try Steve's Digicams, they won't have every single model but they will have representative cameras from most of these manufacturers at your price range.  The link below will take you to their 2008 reviews but you can back out to a wider selection of reviews.

    Check out the "Steve's Conclusion" section of a review for a quick summary of what they found.

    BTW, don't get fooled by Megapixel values or Digital Zoom, most cameras between 7 & 12 Megapixels will be able to give you good quality pictures and it is OPTICAL ZOOM which is important, digital zoom is a software function that reduces quality to give you a bigger view.

    Some good ones they have found are (again in alphabetical order) -

    Canon Powershot SD1100 IS

    Fuji FinePix Z10fd

    Nikon Coolpix S210

    Olympus Stylus Digital 1200

    Panasonic DMC-TZ4

    Pentax Optio E50

    SONY DSC-W130

    My suggestion is to narrow it down to three choices BEFORE you go to a store, then find a place that carries several brands and see if they have at least two of the cameras for you to hold and compare.  Buy the one that feels the best to you and HAVE FUN!

    HTH, Good luck
