Whats The Best Digital Camera Brand ?

Each brand produces a dozen or more different models. Each with their own selection of features and quality. So, a top camera from one brand will be better than an entry level camera from another. So- brand isn't everything. That said, the industry is fiercely competitive, and they all share the same, more or less, technology. So- there is no one brand that's the best at everything. As mentioned above, Kodak are OK. They have some of the best color rendering of any cameras, some creative ideas, cool packaging in their v-series, excellent user interfaces, but they don't always come out on top for image quality. But- they are well priced. My favorite brands are: Canon, Sony, Fuji, Panasonic. But, excellent cameras are also available from Nikon, pentax, Olympus, Casio and a few others. For image quality, I like the Fuji F-series cameras. For features- perhaps the Panasonic FX series with thier OIS and 28mm leica lenses. YMMV

Steve's reviews updates the "Best Camera" list periodically: http://www.steves-digicams.com/best_cameras.html This is somewhat out of date, but check this page for a general idea: http://tech.yahoo.com/rc/digital-cameras/103 Most cameras mentioned have been replaced with newer models, which we will hope are as good or better than what they replaced. Here's another resource for you. Look on down the page if you are interested in point and shoot cameras instead of dSLR's. http://www.digitalcamerainfo.com/ratings.php Here's another listing in order by ratings. They are only separated according to general groups, such as "Highly Recommended," etc. They are NOT listed within the groups according to higher rating. They are listed by date tested. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/default.asp?view=rating Consumer Reports from May 2007 has a short article on digital cameras and they recommend 10 different point and shoot cameras in the following order within groups according to camera design: **COMPACTS** Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2 (Overall score 75) [$410] Kodak EasyShare C875 (Overall score 73) [$165] - Rated better for shutter lag Nikon Coolpix P4 (Overall score 65) **SUBCOMPACTS** Canon Powershot SD500 (Overall score 72) Casio Exilim EX-Z850 (Overall score 72) Sony Cybershot DSC-W50 (Overall score 70) [$180] [Similar to W55] - Rated better for shutter lag Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX3 (Overall score 69) [$200] [Similar to FX-10, FX-12] Olympus Stylus 720SW (Overall score 61) [Similar to 770SW - $360] (Waterproof) **ADVANCED COMPACTS ("Near SLR")** Fujifilm Finepix S6000fd (Overall score 77) [$300] - Rated better for shutter lag Fujifilm Finepix E900 (Overall score 73) [$250] [Things change so quickly in digital cameras that I can not find all of these models listed for sale and it's not even May yet.
