what are the good digital cameras to buy

The only type digital camera I have ever owned is a Kodak. I have owned about 6 of them. All of them still work. I only get new one because I like the new and updated. I started with a 4 mp. Now I have a 12 mp. I always give the old one to my kids or a friend...:-)

I just bought a Canon PowerShot A590 IS. It is 8 Mp. 4x optical zoom, (digital Zoom is worthless.) It was $150.00. I got a case and a sunshade, rechargeable batteries, and 2 2Gig Cards delivered from B&H photo for about $250. It takes great pictures, You can set it for fully automatic or you can control everything yourself. And I mean everything thing, even the flash. or anything in between. Another good thing, it takes AA batteries. No special "camera" batteries. And the IS stands for Image Stabilization. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/542272-REG/Canon_2462B001_PowerShot_A590_IS_Digital.html Do yourself a favor and get the kit. Cheers and bon voyage :)

When it goes for digital brand camera, firt thing comin to my mind is this two brand product, Canon and Kodak, the picture has a good quality compare to others, when you want to be a professional photographer, Kodak is best choice for you ^_^

Almost any top brands would be a good choice. If you want to travel lightly then maybe a slim point and shoot camera would be a good pick. Megapixel between 4-6 would be nice enough for normal print.

Canon's PowerShot line is wonderful. I own an S2 IS which is hard to get now because they've improved it several times since it came out.
