I have only had 2 digital cameras in my "digital camera career" and both have been Canon PowerShots.  For Xmas my husband bought me a Sony digital camera (not sure of the model right now) and I took a few pictures.  Once we uploaded them onto our computer, we were shocked at the poor quality of the pictures... our pictures from our 6 yr old Canon PowerShot camera were WAY better quality.  He ended up exchanging the Sony for the Canon PowerShot SD1000 (which had the same megapixels, and optical zoom etc. as the Sony)  Have we have not looked back since!

The things I love best about the camera...
