Answer 1

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 It looks like this model has been replaced by the A630, which I would expect to be just as popular.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

Answer 2

First off decide the amount you can afford to use to buy the camera than you might want to check a few reviews on what cameras give you the most for the least amount of bucks.

That will narrow it down, than check reviews on which ones give you the best picture quality, yet ease of use, and have a good warranty.

The site below can help you a lot for making a selection, because most opinions your going to get are from most people who will think their camera is great but according to reviews may be just ok. So as a suggestion spend a little time looking and doing a little research and you will end up with a solid Digital you will be happy with.

Answer 3

depends on what you want in a camera, i personally have a canon and love the usability it has over a Sony (which i also use a lot) Canons have a lot a great fetchers, yet anyone can use it, works better with your computer too. Sony is also great, but you would have to be willing to carry the manual with you to find the extra stuff, plus Sony uses it's own memory cards (less compatible)

Answer 4

I have a Kodak EasyShare 5.0 pixels and I love it.

Answer 5

both are great, but avoid lower end canons
