Answer
Canon PowerShot A630--top drawer camera with 8 megapixels (means sharper pictures) and decent zoom (4x). The only drawback is it is a little bulky--won't fit in a shirt pocket. It has a cool swivel viewscreen, though, that enables you to take pics of yourself or whatever without using the timer (which it also has). I've owned one of these for about a year, and have been fully pleased with it--it takes good pictures of everything from my kids to nature to stuff I put on ebay :)
If you are willing to sacrifice a bit of picture quality for a smaller camera (and gain a larger, but no swivel, view screen), go with the PowerShot SD600.
Hope that helps!

Great Quality Digital Cameras?
Emma
I'm 14 and I'm really interested in photography and editing. I want a versatile camera where I can hang out and take pictures of my friends, but also one that can take beautiful pictures of scenery and such. I want high quality photos! (: Also, if there is one that has a video camera with it, that would be great but not necessary.
Thanks in advance,
Emma(:

At least 10 - 30 times a day someone on YA asks: "Which one is a good camera to buy?"
A quick search would have given you hundreds of replies, but once again here is my 10 cents on the subject:
Point & Shoot cameras are wonderfully handy because of their small size.
When light conditions are ideal, they even take really nice photos - all of them do.
However, they all DO have limitations - they don't do very well in low light situations (i.e. noisy photos, hard to avoid blur, etc). The little onboard flash is very harsh at close range, and doesn't reach very far.
Many of them have no manual functions, so you are limited to only very basic photos, you can't compensate for unusual situations, or do many fun "tricks" and special effects.
P&S's also suffer from frustrating shutterlag and many of them chew through batteries rather quickly.
However, if you're ok with all those limitations, then go ahead and pick one, most of them (the same type and same price range) are rather similar. Personally I would pick either a Canon or a Nikon, and would certainly stay away from Kodak.
A higher end P&S will give you more manual options and better quality. Many of those even give you the option of adding a proper flash (which makes a big difference to your flash photos).
Don't worry too much about megapixelsâ¦. there is a limit to how many pixels you can squash into a tiny P&S sensor before you actually LOSE quality rather than gain it.
Don't worry about digital zoom, in fact, don't EVER use it. It simply crops away pixels, i.e. destroys information. The only real zoom is optical.
Decide which features are important to you, and look for cameras that have that feature.
Then go compare a few models on www.dpreview.com .
The very best thing you can do for your success is to borrow some books and learn about photography. A bit of knowledge will make a much bigger difference to your photos than your choice of P&S camera can.
For what it's worth - if I was in the market for a P&S camera right now, my choice would be a Canon Powershot SX10 IS http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=144&modelid=17630
