All of the major brands are good. Choose a brand that appeals to you. Then you have to think about getting a spare battery, what size memory card, if you want an extended warranty, how much you can afford, what size zoom, if you want manual controls, the size of the camera, finding a reliable place to purchase it, and the list goes on and on and on.......

The first thing to realize is that almost any digital camera will take good pictures. If more people would read the manual more than once, they would be able to take better pictures. Usually, the person assumes it is the camera when it could be them not knowing exactly what to do. Just give yourself more photographic knowledge by doing more reading on the internet.

I really believe buying a camera is an individual choice.
The person needs to read alot of reviews on cameras so they can decide on the features that they really want and need.
Go to the store and hold them so you can see if they feel comfortable in your hands. If possible, take some pictures in the store to check the quality of the pictures.
I can only give a suggestion of what to look for in a new digital camera.
Good Luck

my suggestion
go to yahoo shopping

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

I can only recommend the Olympus brand. I've used multiple Olympus cameras all my life and would only buy that brand

You are definitely looking for the Olympus 720sw waterproof and shockproof and has 7 megapixels.

We got a great deal at Best Buy on a little Kodak digital with 7.1 MP. It takes great pictures and fits in your pocket. That is if you wear clothes with pockets? heh

canon is the brand

I know pentex makes a real good water proof camera check out the source provided.

Good Luck.
