best camera

The Canon G10 is probably the best point and shoot out there. It was built by Canon with a mindset of creating an SLR, only in point and shoot form. It is one of the best performers in a low light situation, and can produce stunning images, that rival a several thousand dollar professional level camera. If your budget fits it, the G10 is the way to go.

Well then you can go in for any of the Canon powershot series depending on your budget and requirement. But if you want to have a sophisticated point and shoot cam then you can even look for Sony T series that has touchscreen facility. Do browse the reviews before you go for a cam as these are real eye openers and money savers too. :)
