There are so many digital cameras to choose from,
it is hard to know which ones are the most user friendly and
produce excellent digital photos. To help with your digital
camera purchase, we have listed below some of the current
best rated digital cameras (as of Nov 2007):
Canon Powershot SD1000 - Ultra compact 7.1 MP,
3x optical zoom, 105mm telephoto and 2.5 inch LCD screen.
Excellent picture quality and overall performance. No
shutter lag. Cost: $198-$300.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 - 7.2 MP superzoom. 10x
optical zoom, 280 mm telephoto and 3 inch LCD screen.
Nice wide viewing angle. This camera takes excellent photos
and has a powerful zoom lens - plus it's compact. I own
the Panasonic DMC FZ7, also a super zoom but a little bigger,

get the buzz that Canon does. Cost: $260-350
