By this summer, I'm already planning to buy a digital camera but having a hard time to choose which of these products/brand should I buy. Every time I visit the malls or camera shops, I get confused looking at all this different kinds of digital cameras displayed at the shop.
What I'm looking for is a good camera between $150 - $300.00, at least 7 megapixel.
A digicam that is just for personal use for my family and friends, for travelling, any occasions...etc.
Any suggestion which of these?
Thanks!

At the price you are looking at, the best quality and feature set is almost certainly the Panasonic Lumix range. Canon also have very good cameras in this price range, but, contrary to another post here, Kodak cameras are sadly inferior in both build quality and photographic output. That is something I am very unhappy about, as a long-time Kodak fan.
The Sony cameras are also good quality at a good price and Nikon should be on you short list, too, as should Fuji and the Pentax, Olympus and Minolta cameras. If it's mainly for travel, you might like to consider a shockproof/weatherproof model.

Good choice, wrong reason. Every week on MyLot someone asks the same question about the best camera to buy. Half the time the majority say "Canpn" the other half nearly everybody says "Nikon"... it just depends on who notices the post and who bothers to answer,
Try out the cameras and buy the one that suits you, whatever brand it is.

It depends really of how much you could spend for it. If you like to have high quality without thinking about the cost, then perhaps you should use what professional photographers are using. Nikon would be one, but there are a lot of slrs that are really good.
On the other hand, if you're thinking about the cost, then perhaps you could just buy canon or something.
I do have Sony and I feel it's great.

i know what you mean. there are so many digital cameras around, we're all spoilt with choices till we dont know which one to choose! i'm not sure which one's better but i've heard from many people that canon takes the best photos though. maybe you can do some search on the net and ask the sales person at the shop to help you decide which camera you wanna buy.

I use Canon for my digital photos. You can get a high end model for over a thousand dollars or spend as little as $50 on a point and shoot. It all depends on what kind of pictures you plan on taking with the camera. You can go to a electronics store like Circuit City or Best Buy to try some cameras out before you actually buy one. Once you choose one you like, I suggest buying off of Amazon.com, that is usually the best deals. Any extras you may need for the camera can be bought on there also. Good luck and have fun taking pictures, it really gets addicting.
