Click Digital Camera

Can someone give me advice for purchasing a digital camera? (please click to read details)?

1. I want to buy a new camera but I know nothing about cameras (even though i am an intermediate photographer). my current camera has 10x zoom, which has been great but it is a large camera so i am looking for something small that easily fits in purses and pockets. I am looking for something under $200 that has a decent zoom and picture quality. long battery life and a large display screen. Does anyone have any suggestions?

2. What, in general, is the overall best digital camera brand? (in regards to price, picture quality, and camera/battery life)

The overall best camera brand is tricky but the brands that used to make film cameras such as Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Kodak, Ricoh and Pentax, have been making cameras a long time so they have a head start and also have a reputation to uphold.

The Canon IXUS range are small, sturdy and foolproof so these would be worth checking out. The zoom range is only 3x or 4x though.

Canon IXUS 75 (Powershot SD750), 7mp, 35-105mm (film equivalent) zoom (3x), 3" display screen, no stabilisation, 170g, dimensions: 92 x 57 x 20 mm.

7x zoom compacts:

Pentax Optio Z10, 8mp, 7x zoom (38-266mm - film equivalent), 2.5" display screen, no stabilisation, dimensions: 94 x 58 x 25 mm.

Ricoh R7, 8mp, 7x (28-200mm - film equivalent), 2.7" display screen, optical stabilisation, 135g, dimensions: 100 x 55 x 23 mm.

Casio EX-V7, 7mp, 7x zoom (38-266mm - film equivalent), 2.5" display screen, optical stabilisation, 190g, dimensions: 96 x 60 x 25 mm.

If you want 10x-12x zoom in a compact camera, try the Panasonic compacts. They are not tiny but they are fairly small compared to the long lens barrel 10x-12x zoom cameras (probably like your current camera).

Panasonic Lumix TZ2, 6mp, 10x zoom (28-280mm - film equivalent), 2.5" display screen, image stabilisation, 260g, dimensions: 105 x 59 x 37 mm.

or a lighter 10x zoom:

Kodak V610, 6mp, 10x zoom (38-380mm - film equivalent), 2.8" display screen, no stabilisation, 195g, dimensions: 111 x 56 x 23 mm.
