Highly recommend either the Sony Cybershot (I have the P10, friends have the P8, T1, and L1, parents have P200 and an older Cybershot, V-series?) or any Canon model. Both brands produce absolutely stellar pics, and I haven't heard of a dissatisfied customer from either -- well, except those whose cameras have broken on them. My sister has some Fujifilm or something that works well, but eats batteries - the batteries die before the memory card is filled!
