which is the best

to tell you the truth, you wouldn't really know what's the best camera for you unless you take your hands on them and try to use them all. also today, it is not really difficult to find a great camera because as you have said, manufacturers today have been upgrading their cameras like crazy. more and more people are also becoming more interested in photography so manufacturers are really trying to manufacture cameras that are accessible and easy to use. if you are contented with ordinary point and shoot cameras, there are so many to choose from. canon has great cameras as well as sony. but if you are among those who are looking for dslrs, canon, nikon, and sony has so much to offer.
