Consumer Reports for November 2006 has ranked the Canon Powershot A620 as the best compact digital camera. It is becoming almost a legend for longevity at the top of various consumer lists. It looks like this model has been replaced by the A630, which I would expect to be just as popular. The A640 appears quite similar and shares the "600" series numbering, so I guess it's just another upgraded version of the now-classic A620. It looks pretty much the same except for baing a 10 MP camera. The continuous drive is a little slower, but the files are larger, so that's no surprise. I own a few Nikon DSLR's and I'd buy the Canon A630 or A640 for myself.
With this camera, you will find the memory card is a cute little token of thanks from Canon, but not much more. Buy a 1 GB Sandisk Ultra II or Extreme III card. You will NEED the increased capacity and write speed to fully realize the benefits of your camera.

In the world of compact digital cameras, Canon rules. In the world of DSLR camera, Nikon rules. You do not state how much you are willing to spend or what features you must have. Do you want the best digital camera made in the "35 mm format" class? Get a Nikon D3X - they retail at $8,000 without a lens. Want the best in a compact digital camera and don't mind it being big for its size? Get a Canon Powershot G10. Want a "micro 4/3's" camera? Panasonic or Olympus makes those. If you really want a good answer to this question you need to provide more information. If you are on a budget just get an inexpensive Canon - they make great little cameras.

Canon and Nikon are proabably the most reputatable companies. One isn't better than the other as far as image quality, but there are differences between the two. Olympus and Sony do keep improving their cameras and those are really good too.

Sony and Olympus.
Olympus is my first choice and
Sony is the second.
After these two comes Nikon and Canon.
Sometimes you can find good cameras by HP and Kodak.
So these are the brands you can look out for.

i just got a canon digital rebel xti 400D last week, its probably not what youre looking for but as far as quality goes Canon!
if you got money go with the powershot G7 or an S3 IS pro if you want something not point and shoot.

Can you replace the camera with one of equal quality for the price of repairing your old one. If not I would get the old one repaired.
