Husquavarna and Stihl saws are prohibitively expensive (some up to a 1000 dollars!) pick a saw that is long enough to cut the thickness of the wood you are cutting and make sure the wood is properly secured not using your feet (good way to visit the ER) if you are cutting anythign other then wood such as a very large portion of meat you are in for more of a mess then a effective carving. There are many brands to choose from and in yoru case the smaller and more lightweight the better.

The smallest saw that will cut the wood you are working with is the easiest to use. As mentioned above, electric chainsaws work really well, so long as you will be cutting within reach of electricity. A small saw with a 10-12 inch bar will cut anything the average homeowner will ever cut. Many people get caught up in the macho of bigger is better, and you can work yourself to death with a larger saw.
Chainsaws are cross-cut saws, that is they cut well across the grain of the wood, but do not cut well with the grain. If you have wood that needs to be split with the grain, you will need and axe, maul, or slege hammer and wedges to split the wood.

Do yourself a favor and buy a med size Stihl or Husquavarna.I was in the tre business for 7 years and have owned evry kind of saw. These are the 2 best. The husky is a little better but the Stihl cost a little less.You WILL REGRET buying a cheap saw.It wont last. Best advise on these 2 is pick one up and make sure it is not too heavy.Make sure you can handle it easily. Please trust me on this.

Certainly opinions will be your answers. I suspect it might have to do with access to what types and sizes of the "Something" also. Small logs/ 2x4 untreated lumber; and with access to a power source, I usually use a 16 inch Electric. If I had to go in an ever widening circle to find a fuel source I'd have to have a Gas powered, or a generator.
Brand name is also going to likely be suggested, but in essence they all perform the same task.
