What is the really best brand of digital camera?

I've been using Canon for my point and shoot camera. So far, it's been working fine with me. The quality of the pictures are ok for a point and shoot camera. I'm still thinking about upgrading to a DSLR camera, I'm just not sure yet if I'll get a Canon or Nikon DSLR.

I did a good amount of research before buying my digital camera a few years ago. I heard a lot of great things about Nikon and so I ended up purchasing a Nikon digital camera. I have had really great success with this camera. It takes great pictures and I'm quite happy with it. When I go to purchase another digital camera, it will most likely be another Nikon!

I think it depends on what your needs are, but my first camera was a sony, so the first reply is right, they are a good camera. The one I have now, my husband bought for under 100.00 and it is a kodack camera. It seems to have the same quality as the sony, plus it goes with my kodak printer..lol

No, No-one really knows which is the best brand - but it is one of these: Leica, Leaf of BetterLight. Brands you may never have heard of with price tags that are staggering - A low-end Leica would set you back more than $7000, Leaf backs start around $30,000 and then things start to get pricey! None of these shoot video. Even though the Canon 5D Mark II (about $4000) was used to shoot the entire House Series final, if you want to shoot video, a video camera is a better buy. It isn't a question of the quality of the images you get, it is about the way they are set up - to do good video with a camera designed for stills, you need accessories to steady the camera, allow proper panning, and allow the camera to be zoomed and focussed smoothly. If all you want is a decent camera to take pictures and the occassional video, and you son't want the expense of a single-lens reflex (the cheapest is with true HD video is about $900 from Nikon or Canon) then consider a Panasonic, Canon camera in the $400-$500 range. if the video is more important, buy a video camera and add a $200 compact for the stills. You will finish up spending under $1000.

I have been using Canon for a long time and I really like the quality. For me it is a good camera and most of the time the digital camera dealer will recommend Canon. Now I use Sony T-99D and it is a good camera. I like the feature and the shot are great too. It is a touch screen camera so the screen will have a lot of finger prints which sometimes irritate me a bit because I always have to clean it. My sister use Panasonic Lumix and I like it also. I haven't see how the picture look like at computer or if it is develope but the picture does look good. I also have try Nikon and Olympus which I didn't fancy at all. The quality is not that good eventhough it is cheap.

If you will buy a digital camera. I recommend Sony, LG, Kodak and Samsung. You can buy them to all leading store out there like SM and Robinsons.

I use Sony cameras to take pictures and videos. I love the quality and would recommend it to anyone. I say you should just look around in the market as Cannons are also nice.
