which maker makes the best point and shoot camera! The following recommendation may not be the "best," but it's the "best buyl" on a subcompact digital camera.
Even though I personally own this ultra compact camera, I would still like to highly recommend the purchase of a Nikon Coolpix L10 for the following reasons:
1. Besides taking well-exposed hi-quality 5 megapixel pictures, it uses a standard set of rechargeable double AA batteries which last a very long time;
2. Has a 3x optical zoom;
3. The flash setting for "red-eye" correction is on the navigator wheel and not within a submenu;
4. It's very small and light;
5. Uses inexpensive SD memory cards;
6. The digital video feature takes wonderful "sound" videos which are noise free. It records the piano very well with it's built-in microphone;
7. It comes with a USB 2.0 transfer cable which you connect to your USB computer port;
8. Has tripod mount on bottom of camera;
9. And the price is a mere $119 [sold at Samy's Camera - www.samys.com, and Staples.com.]

Good luck! Samsung. I've had others but i find this brand the best. The one using the Foveon chip! ~
http://www.foveon.com/article.php?a=67 canon, then kodak I'd say Kodak. Tain't no best brand. Sony, Fuji, Canon, Nikon, Panasonic and Olympus make excellent and not so excellent cameras. It all depends on the model. Canon,
Everybody I have met who uses a Canon is pleased with it, as am I myself. Canon Best is subjective. But take a look at the following sites for reviews on all kinds of cameras. Steve's has a section on the best cameras and one category is point and shoot.
