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

a Powershot SD1000 sounds good for a compact camera.

If you don't want something too compact... I would suggest a Powershot G7 or a Cybershot H7.

Most digital cameras will shoot video with sound, but a lot will limit the length of the clips. I'm happy with my Fujifilm Finepix F10 because it will shoot video until the memory card is full. My record is 11 minutes, which was a train ride from beginning to end.

actually there is so much choice. but it is usually depend with the brand name we like to associate with. check my profile for a discount store for better browsing and adventure in looking for product by its discount off percentage. has product reviews too.
