I know this is based on personal opinion, but what is the best digital camera brand? I really just need a digital camera that would take nice quality pictures and be easy to download the pictures on to my computer to email and post on websites. FYI: I am looking to stay under $250. Specific brands that are good, and model names would be great to...

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 It looks like this model has been replaced by the A630, which I would expect to be just as popular.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.

If you want to trim the budget a little, the Canon Powershot A430, A530 or A540, are all great choices. You will need a decent memory card, though. I'd say get at least 512 MB.

Nikon is the best brand in professional digital cameras. other than this there are Sony, Cannon, Kodak, Panasonic. But best preferred for home use is Sony cybershot
