Steve's reviews updates the "Best Camera" list periodically:

This is somewhat out of date, but check this page for a general idea:

http://tech.yahoo.com/rc/digital-cameras... Most cameras mentioned have been replaced with newer models, which we will hope are as good or better than what they replaced.

Here's another resource for you. Look on down the page if you are interested in point and shoot cameras instead of dSLR's.

digital camera GUIDE
be sure to check titles on the left side
the guide should answer your questions

it would be difficult to talk about best camera as a make. this is possible only when one considers on certain parameters like built quality, price etc. since you have not mentioned it is not possible to talk about "one " best camera !

however, here is a simple brand guide:

nikon- one of most popular makes. it is known for good quality affordable cameras. good value for money though not for best build quality. coolpix range is very popular.

canon- one of most popular camera(all not just digital ones) makes in asian & african countries countries. the EOS series was hit amongst slr users & same was extended to digital as well. it is known for powershot series. certain models of powershot are best value for money like a240(i think that's the model no). currently ixus series is one of best digicam in indian market.

sony- premium models. not into mass segment. not necessarily the best camera available. but does get the advantage of "sony" brand. they do tend bring in newness in styling.

kodak & fuji are not popular & do not have new models launching in indian market.

you can aslo consider olympus, panasonic(lumix), & casio (exilim) camreas.

For me it has Always been and always will be CANON . tis the Best .

Canon is world leader in Digital Cameras..Canon offers shutter speed of 1/3200 which no other make have.
Then comes Sony and Nikon.
