what brand? You can buy the new on that is called Poland work very well and it is in good shape Actually, SLR type cameras take much better pictures, and have no lag time before the picture is taken. SLR is single lens reflex. Basically, it is like a 35mm regular camera, but uses digital storage instead of film. It still has a shutter and lots of options. For one that is new to SLR, the Nikkon D-70 is probably the best choice, as it has plenty of preset modes, which takes the guesswork out selecting settings, like fstop, etc. If you want to take really nice pictures, that camera is the way to go. I have a Nikkon D-50, and love it!! Best for travel?
Best for photo's of kids?
Best for first camera?
Best quality photo's?
Best for low light?
Different cameras are best for different uses and users. So i will offer some general info. Canon is the most popular brand. They have easy to use menu systems in their smaller cameras', and the most advanced features in their Pro cameras. Other brands may offer the same megapixels for slightly less money, but every camera has enough megapixels today, so choose one that is easiest to use, then you will use it more, learn more, and become a better photographer.
I would recommend the 720IS as a good all-round camera which is easy to use now, and has some manual options if you want to experiment later. Easy to hold, runs on AA batteries, and has image stabilization to remove the hand shaking, so you get more 'good' photo's.
I stay away from Olympus, Sony, and Fuji as they use memory cards that cannot be used in other brands. If you buy a camera that uses SD card format, you can upgrade and use the same cards. SD is used by most brands, including Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, Casio, and Pentax. The best? Hasselblad H3D with 39mp for a mere $32,000.00 The best you can buy? It depends on how much you want to spend.
By the way, it's the photographer, not the camera that makes the picture.

I'd suggest you repost with a list of what features you're looking for, your budget, and how much photo experience you have.
A $10,000 camera in the hands of an inexperienced photographer takes only snapshots.
By the way, as much as I love my D70 and my D50 (used for the sets of photos linked below) you might be disappointed shopping for them, as they've been discontinued for years.
Here's a link to a great digital camera review site.
