Ifyou are buying point and shoot cameras then Cannon tops the list. I have used couple of Canon camera. But if you want digital SLR cams then I recommand Nikon. It's best in quality. I've used both Nikon and Canon SLRs. I own Nikon D50 and one of my good friend bought Canon. We both liked Nikon's quality. We both recommended our another friend Nikon and he bought Nikon D40 and quality is as better as it can be and this is a upgraded version.Even better.
