Canon, Olympus, Nikon, and Kodak are the major camera companies.... I wouldn't hesitate to purchase anything from either one....
The main things to look for when buying a digi cam is ....Optical zoom (the more the better, cuz digital zoom just makes the pixels bigger, Megapixels, and removable memory.
@mamaTT.... wanna know a secret?.... the majority of digital cameras (point and shoot and DSLRs) use Kodak image processors...
