21. I have been using the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 for the past 6 months only on automatic and love it. I bought if for the 28mm which really has a nice wide angle look but not too wide. The 504mm at the other end, I found was not sharp. I tested it on a tripod with the self-timer and it still wasn't sharp. At about 350mm it was perfect. But then, 28-350 is an ideal lens. As far as batteries, I use rechargeables and always have an extra one one in my pocket so it is another thing I don't have to think about. The Leica lens is as sharp as a tack. I have recommended this camera to everyone. Good camera, good price and perfect pictures. What more?

22. I used the Canon EOS 5D; Great photos with its 24-105mm lens. I recommended it for a great start up camera. Oh yeah, there is no built in flash.

23. You forget one thing.
The best camera is the one that use Zeiss lens
The best camera in the world still are Hasselblad and Leica, those cameras use Zeiss and Wetzlar lenses
made in Germany, think about it. No lens in this world can be superior to Zeiss or Leica lenses, Period

26. One thing most forget is shutter speed. Most if not all of the less expensive cameras have a slow shutter speed. If you take an action shot the action is over by the time the picture is taken. I bought the Cannon Rebel XT and love it. It was an investment but takes great pictures with a very fast shutter speed. It's like using a 35mm camera.

27. I bought SAMBSUNG S-73 (7.2 Media Pixels;2.5" Large LCD; ASR:Advanced Shake Reduction), at Radio Shack. I did not expect much from it but it photographs spectacularly. The quality of both pictures and films is excellent. It is rather easy to use; it has many very useful features; it's user friendly,etc. I just simply love it! I'm amazed of the quality of the photographs and videos I have shot with it! All my friends love it and ask me where to buy it. Circuit City also sells them for about $90.00. It's an excellent camera for a tight budget. JCl

29. All point and shoot cameras are good for "snap shots." If you want to edit (crop), color correct, or any other digital editing and enlarging, I need at least 10 mp or more.
Happy shooting. . .

31. I've been an advanced amateur photographer for 40+ years and I'd like to recommend a few things.
First, a DSLR can be as easy to use as a P&S. All entry level DSLR's have a fully auto setting and scene modes like a P&S. While a P&S can take very good pictures, a DSLR is far more versatile and can do things that a P&S can't. Among other things they take interchangable lenses and accessory flashes and they are far better at the high ISO's used in low light.
If you do opt for a P&S, get one with a viewfinder. Composing on the LCD is OK inside, but outside they are very difficult to see in bright light. Also learn how to set the flash to work outside and use it as a fill flash to fill harsh shadows that form on a face in bright sunshine. You may not even see these shadows because your eye compensates, but they are there and the flash can fill them in.
One more thing. Please edit. Noone wants to look at 300 pictures of Little Joey's birthday party.

32. I have been using the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20 for three years now, sometimes several times daily, I am a certified master pet groomer. It's a bit much for the job I use it for, but it has functions, such as the burst mode, which I use to take many pictures, hoping that one captures the right pose of the pet I'm working on.

33. Are you kidding me, really? It would've been helpful to include another category to your list..how about a digital camera that is not only easy to use, but also under or around $100. . Now that's something I'd consider being in the market for..if $169. was the best you could do, no thanks!

34. I'm surprised that the Panasonic Lumix series did not show up on the list. I purchased one last year and found it to be the easiest to use camera I've ever own. The pics are awesome and the prices are very reasonable.

35. When I purchased my Fuji FinePix F410 (2000?) it was unique in compact size, pixels (6M) and userfriendlyness. I still love it and would not be without it. I also have a DSLR Cannon 40D for heavy lifting.

36. DON'T get a PENTAX...I got this camera, with it's excellent customer service and quality, as a gift for Christmas last year. The batteries kept delpleting after a few pictures - even with rechargables. I sent it back to Pentax and got a diagnosis as well as a $100 dollar repair quote. I called and told them it was still under warranty and they told me it would be free-of-charge. A couple weeks later they mailed the camera back saying the techs couldn't find anything wrong with the camera. Shady company.

37. A bit out dated perhaps .. my Fuji FinePix F 30 is simpley, a dream camera .. fast shutter speed .. better than the very pricy Panasonic I bought .. Me, a point and shot soul acually won a photo contest .. Got some awesome night shots of a night critter ..The results looked like they were taken in full day lite and it was like black . My whole family now has them or the update ..

39. I use a FujiFilm S700 and I absolutely love my camera. People ask me all the time what type of camera did I use to take my pictures. I think for the money you can't beat it.

40. I second the comments about the Panasonic DMC FZ18. In addition, the camera is very past when you push the button. I hated the delay in my old Canon PowerShot. In addition, the camera has a number of buttons that simplify some of the quick adjustments you may want to make when taking a picture. For these adjustments, you don't have to search through menus. For example, a 10 second timer for the shutter and a setting to take three shots at one time, one "underexposed", one at your current setting, and one "over exposed"
