What is the brand of digital cameras that you think is the best?

I was looking for a digital camera to buy (300$) but through my search I found a lot of brands (Canon-Olymous-kodak-sony-pansonic-fuji-nikon) with different features. I'm looking for a camera that has a large optical zoom,face detection and easy to use..but has good features that allow more options for taking an image. I'm not a proffesional in photography but I like to try different options. Thanx

2. A lot depends on what you want to use your camera for. Do you mostly take pictures of people or do you use it more for outdoor pictures? A good all-around model is the Fujifilm J10. It has 3x optical zoom and a 8.2mp sensor. From my experience, Fujifilm cameras are well worth any money you spend on them. If you wanted to spend a little more (about $65 more) than I would recommend the Sony DSC-T200. It is the camera I currently have and is the best one I have ever bought. It over-preforms every compact point and shoot I have every owned.. I bought it refurbished directly from Sony and the price was about $265, compared to about 349-400 new
3. for $300 you should look at a Canon S5. Its a great camera, that runs almost exactly $300. http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PowerShot-Digital-Optical-Stabilized/dp/B000Q3043Y
4. Canon and Nikon. Both are outstanding.
5. The canon SX100 is a great little camera! It has lots of features, 10 or 12 x optical zoom (with image stabilization), its not big, and the speed on it is great! Also Canon is top of the line right now with most consumer reviews. Every part that they put into their cameras is made by them, where as other brands buy parts and throw them into their cameras. Another nice thing is all of the technology they use in their professional level cameras they use in their lover end models, so your basically getting the best of both worlds with-out the complications of n SLR. Another good camera to consider is the Sony DSHC H10. It has 10 x optical zoom (IM stabilization), HD compatible, 3 inch LCD screan and Sony is super fast. You can do a lot of neat in camera editing and they are really easy to use. Quality wise they are great, Sony is actually coming close to Canon - who is my opinion is the best. Hope I helped you out ;-). Happy camera hunting
6. all canon cameras are great. i have used canon all my life and only had one problem, but it was easy to fix.
7. I own a Canon XTi but the wife own a Fuji S5000
