I just took back a Poloroid 5.1-would not hold a charge. So I know what I don't want.

The Canon Powershots are a great camera for my money.
I have had HP cameras and every single one of them broke!
Bought a Nikon Coolpix on overstock.com, and it broke the very first time I turned it on!
I had a Samsung that the LCD screen broke on, it was replaced and eventually given to my youngest daughter.
I bought the 6 megapixel Canon Powershot and love it!
It has a wide variety of settings and modes, works really well and is as easy on batteries as any digital camera I have had.
It takes the AA rechargeable which I feed with the 1 hour recharge kind. The money you save on batteries alone makes it worth getting the 1 hour recharge kind.
Picture quality is outstanding, flash pictures work well.
The camera is just about as good as any regular user is liable to need, you can blow up a 6 megapixel pretty big without getting grainy pictures.
My 13 year old and 9 year old daughter both take great pictures with this camera also.
If you do your shopping homework you can get the 6 megapixel under 200 dollars, or thereabouts... A heck of a lot of camera for the money.

Perfect question...
I absolutely would recommend the Kodak Easyshare 7590 digital.
It is so very user friendly (it's scary) It has a 10x optical zoom and a 5x digital zoom..
I am a professional, award winning photographer who used this camera for a long time. All the award winning photos I took, I took with this camera.
Good Luck.
Try and get it with the dock and not just the USB cable, you will find downloading from the Kodak dock a piece of cake.

I purchased a Sony Cybershot two weeks ago and love it.
You will run into problems with 'regular' batteries with any digital camera - so invest in the rechargeables...it's definitely worth the money. I purchased a good set of rechargeables and a charger (that charges in 30 minutes) at Radio Shack. It holds the charge great. Most chargers take a few hours to charge the batteries.
I looked around though on CNET ( http://www.cnet.com ) before purchasing and read the reviews.
Good luck.

What's an average person? One who spends $150, $200, $350.
Heck everyone is touting their camera. SO, I've had no qualms with my camera, takes great shots...well maybe I'm just a great photographer. So consider Sony CyberShot DSC-H2 or Fugifilm Finepix S5200.

Kodak Easyshare Camera! The one that comes w/ printer and stuff. It creates awesome quality pictures! Buy a little memory card (holds up to 600+ pics w/ memory card)

There are too many to record right here. If I were you i might want to easily study the descriptions on the floor fashions and p.c.. a kind i love. you often (not continually, yet often) won't be able to flow incorrect with a significant kind (sony, pentax, canon, nikon, olympus, fuji, etc.)

My ex-wife has the Canon Powershot DS800 IS, and it is a lovely camera. Compact, takes good pictures, and easy to use.

A Sony Cyber-Shot camera is always a good bet. They're always highest rated in customer satisfaction. I've owned two in my lifetime. The same cameras mentioned by TomTom (DSC series).

go for the canon powershot range... say a530 or a540... feature packed and costs a world less than expensive sony cybershot range... as for nikon, there is not a good after-sales service for it..
so i would recommend canon powershot a530 or a540
