The best digital camerea for non-professional photographer is the best digital camera for professsional photographer. The more advanced a camera means the easier it is to use once you browse through its manual on how to set it on full auto. The best will depend on what is it your looking for or what is your own definition of the best camera, if you are looking for the image quality I recommend the SIGMA. Look for it in their website.

Personally, I think Canon Rebel XT or Nikon d70 are great for a serious amateur without the will/money to shell out over a 1000 bucks. If you can spend that much go for Canon 20D or 30D or Nikon D200.

If you just want a point and shoot camera, go for the Fuji F10 or the updated version, the F11, which has more manual features. It is a fantastic camera, and really good for low light shots due to it's high ISO shooting and excellent battery life, I have this camera and I really couldn't fault it. It also has a good flash and large LCD screen. It's a 6.3 mega pixel camera with 3x optical zoom.

maybe canon s2is.
tons of features, 5mp 12 optical zoom 4 digital[zoom]. also has optical image stabilizer and super macro mode so you can focus on things 0 cm away from the lens.
