My Sony Cyber-Shot doesn't work anymore(the flash stoped working) and the warrenty is expired. I want to get a new Camera and I just want to know what brand is the best.

There are about 1,000 factors, including price range, intended use, photographic skill level, etc. No one brand is better than any other, they are just different. To choose the one that is right for you, do your homework and use the website listed below, Digital Photography Review. They have the most informative, through reviews available online on every camera from the high-end SLRs to the pocket size compacts.
I've liked Sony's Cybershot series, they tend to take relatively high-quality pictures for the price. However, if not taken care of, they also tend to have mechanical problems later on in their lives.

All of the major brands have their fans, and I have no doubt that they are all good cameras. The only camera available at the moment that I would stay away from is the Fuji S9500. I bought one and the photos are just not sharp and clear.
Take your time looking, they are getting better and cheaper as time goes by.
Optical zoom is the most important thing, get the most you can for your money.
Digital zoom is a complete waste of time, do not consider this as a factor when buying a camera. Once you have bought a camera, turn digital zoom off.
Get the most megapixels you can for your money.
As a very rough rule of thumb when comparing your final choices in camera, take the number of megapixels and multiply that by the amount of optical zoom. Buy the camera with the highest number.
Try to avoid a camera that uses two 'AA' batteries (except perhaps the Kodaks that can use the CR3 Lithium ion Battery Pack). Get a camera that either uses four, or one with its own dedicated Lithium Ion battery pack. (If you want to keep it for a long time, check the price and availability of replacement batteries. perhaps ebay?)

im not sure, but this may help. Why would you need to buy a camera when you can get it for free? I just signed up and got Canon camera for no charge. I couldn't believe it. You can also get a Sony or Kodak camera, but I like Canon a lot better.

The Canons are the best for the money. I only have a 5 megapixel lens and it takes way better pics than other brands with 8 megs. Everyone compliments me on my pics. Definitely try the Canon.
