I prefer Olympus because...

Using Olympus for decades. Now when every maker has something special to offer, the real thing I need is THE LENS.
German Voigtländer used to say: "Weil das Objektiv so gut ist". I can now use the same words about Olympus: "Because the lens is so good".
I just love my Canon

I've owned or used a lot of different cameras. Graphlex 4x5, Yashika 120, Minolta, Nikon, Pentax, Fuji, Konica, Canon,(all 35mm cameras) and a whole bunch of Kodak's of all types(digital too). My current favorite is my 5 Megapixel Canon PowerShot S500 Digital Elph. Great photos, great optics, easy to carry(you can't take ANY photos if you DON'T have it with you, I carry mine with me everywhere/every day) and plenty of features, and durable....Best all around camera I have ever owned.

I think, Canon is the Best for Digital Cameras. If you have a 4 megapix camera, its a little one, charger is built-in, optical lens is ok and pictures are crisp and clear.
If you want more professional type, then their SLR digital cameras are great and popular. There camcorders are less epensive with the features Sony offers in a higher price for an example Canon ZR400 got one 1/4" CCD but Sony lens are better.
Expertise shows

The digital camera companies come from different backgrounds:
Film Cameras: (Canon, Konica Minolta, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax)
Photographic Film: (Kodak, Fujifilm, Polaroid)
Computer Printers: (Canon, Epson, HP)
Computers: (HP, Sony)
Consumer Electronics: (Casio, Sony)
These backgrounds indicate relative strengths in certain areas of digital camera design. Note that 3 companies (Canon, HP, Sony) have background expertise in more than one area.
Canon has the most useful expertise in both high quality camera optics and high quality printing, and knows best how to combine the two.
Canon for under $600

For the average user looking to spend less than $600 on a point-and-shoot type camera, I would have to say that Canon is the best Digital camera. I have owned Sony, Kodak, Canon and Nikon digital cameras and have found that the Canon seems to take the best overall picture in all light conditions. I find that I rarely have to alter any photos before printing when using my Canon and usually results in the best overall true-to-life colors.
What company makes the best digital camera.

I have a Sony Mavica MVCD-350 digital camera. It has 5 megapixels, which gives great resolution, and the pictures can be 'resized' and then jpegged, so you still get the great resolution but are able to save space when e-mailing.
Another reason I like this particular camera is that it uses mini-CDs instead of memory strips, so you have the pictures already stored on a CD, and these can be easily downloaded to the computer.
It does have zoom lens, which helps in the resizing. Something that looks like it was taken far away can be brought to where you are really up close.

Canon for me 2 (but it must be the S1)

Only one other camera has the "optical image stabiliser" which I find the most useful aid since the leaf shutter was invented.
CONCORD 5.0 MEGAPIXEL

How about a CONCORD 5.0 MEGAPIXEL.
I don't see anyone saying anything about this camara.
Can someone tell me about it?
HP

HP makes the only model that I've found with an optical zoom greater than 3x (5x + digital 8x = 40x total) in a sub-compact model, the R817 & R818 (black), AND a quality Pentax lense.
I was able to buy one off of an auction on eBay for $235, delivered, for my wife for our 25th wedding anniversary! It also has in-camera red-eye reduction and will 'stitch' up to 5 shots together for panoramas, in-camera! It takes a little to get used to the absence of a view finder and I had to paste a piece of frosted clear contact paper on the screen to cut down on glare off of its glossy finish.
I also bought separately a base (+ spare battery) for it which allows connecting to a TV for slide shows and charges 2 batteries @ once.

Every professional photographer I know (many including myself) use Canon EOS digital SLR cameras. If you've ever shot with a Canon "L" series lens you would know why. Enough said!
