What kind of camera are you looking to get? I would assume a digital point and shoot.
Ive heard good things about the Sony Cyber Shot, as well as the newer Kodak models.
If you are looking to get a D-SLR, then the Nikon D40 is pretty much the standard.

Hell is the same, but the beer is stale and the strippers have STDs
