I've had the worst luck with digital cameras, I think its mostly because I keep trying kodak.. I have prom, graduation, & family reunions coming up & want to make sure I have a reliable camera that can take really nice pictures.
I don't exactly want to waste my money here but it seems to me you get what you pay for, anybody agree or disagree?
I'm not completely clueless to technology or anything I just want to get this right for once & not have to fiddle around anymore.
--So please enlighten me on what camera and brands you would recommend and what you wouldn't?

Find a camera store in your local area, where you can try out different cameras. Tell them your budget and shooting style, and they can recommend different models you might like. Try them out, find which feels right, and don't forget a good case to protect it.
A camera store can also offer you after the sale support. Just show them any pictures and they can talk you through whatever problems you're having, and even recommend how to improve your photography.
Good luck with your new purchase. I've used Nikon, Canon, Pentax and Olympus, but now I stick with Nikon. I agree with you about Kodak. They make good film, but not cameras.

Canon has some nice consumer digicams, as do several other companies, including Kodak. The more important thing is to read your camera manual and understand what the settings and features are and how they will affect your images. That said, any one of the mid to upper line Canon digicams would be a great choice, or, for more flexibility, an entry level dSLR like the Canon Rebel xti or the Nikon D40.

In point and shoots, I like the Canon A570 IS, because the camera is reasonably small (although not like a credit card sized Casio Exilim), but has a 7mp imager, 4x zoom, image stabilization, and facial recognition capability. It has a 2.5" screen.
Essentially for $155, you get a good basic camera that will make good images and won't break down like a cheap Kodak. You can pay more and actually get fewer features; you can pay more and get more megapixels with actually poorer image quality. 7mp is all you need for any kind of reasonable print. To me, this camera sits right in the "sweet spot" for value and performance.

I have an old Pentex 35mm, that I feel is the best camera ever made. All manual, so nothing to break. I just got a 80 - 120 lens for it on ebay for $25. After 25 years it still works, just like it came out of the box.

You don't say how much you're spending. As mentioned the Canon A570 IS is a fine camera with image stabilizer + aperture/shutter priority. Runs about $160-170. Not quite that much would be a Canon A560. Excellent on battery life.

What kind of camera are you looking for-compact or ultracompact?
For compact on a budget, I'd get Canon A570 IS, or A720 IS for a little extra zoom.
For ultracompact on a budget, I'd get Canon SD1000 or if you have a bit more money, SD850 IS.

Really like my Fuji S700, 10X zoom, lots of features as well auto. Long battery life. Less than $200. Larger than compact, though.

Get either a Canon or a Nikon on your next purchase.
Have a Canon and never have any problems ever since.

I use Canon. Thomas, Anthony, and VIN spell it out pretty well.
