RE: Digital camera
Hi,

In general, I am a fan of Canon cameras, followed by Nikon.  I am a believer in the idea that a digital camera should be a camera first, a piece of electronics second -- thus I prefer traditional camera makers over electronics firms who have leaped into that market.

As far as Canon lineup goes, the two product lines you would be intested in (from the sound of it) are the A and SD series.  Each of those has a number of currently offered models.  A-series models of comparable specs (mainly resolution) are generally slightly less expensive and physically bigger than the SD-series pocket-size models. 

The smaller size may mean fewer features and reduced performance (mainly in the areas of geometric distortion of the lens and noise in low light conditions) in some cases, but for the most part, these tradeoffs are very small and for someone wanting a camera they can conveniently carry everywhere they go, I think the Canon SD-series products are awesome.

You can find some digital camera reviews at these sites:

Hope this helps.  :)

RE: Digital camera
My suggestion would be the sony cybershot series. Its great for users who are enthusiastic about taking pics and stuff but arent uber leet at it ... also its good for other users who just want to point-click-take pics (simplicity)

Overall, if you arent a pro, imo the cybershot series is good. Only thing is that it has digital zoom and not optical zoom. Max pic size is also quite big (dont exactly remember how much tho ... google please :))

Its got video and photography modes and lotsa presets/customisable things so its good for users of all levels ... i really like it ;)
