Q. I have been looking into buying a digital camera for the holiday seasons that are about to approach us. Now, which ones do you think are the best brand, quality, all of that stuff. I dont really care just a couple specifics: need to be able to see the pic on the screen, and not extremely costly. HELP!
Answer
Consumer Reports for November 2006 has ranked the Canon Powershot A620 as the best compact digital camera. It is becoming almost a legend for longevity at the top of various consumer lists. It looks like this model has been replaced by the A630, which I would expect to be just as popular. The A640 appears quite similar and shares the "600" series numbering, so I guess it's just another upgraded version of the now-classic A620. It looks pretty much the same except for baing a 10 MP camera. The continuous drive is a little slower, but the files are larger, so that's no surprise. I own a few Nikon DSLR's and I'd buy the Canon A630 or A640 for myself.
With this camera, you will find the memory card is a cute little token of thanks from Canon, but not much more. Buy a 1 GB Sandisk Ultra II or Extreme III card. You will NEED the increased capacity and write speed to fully realize the benefits of your camera.

If you want to trim the budget a little, the Canon Powershot A430, A530 or A540, are all great choices. You will still need a decent memory card as discussed above, though.

Answer
How about Canon EOS digital SLR?
That would be the best of both worlds!
I suspect you're asking whether to get film SLR or digital p&s?
If you get a film SLR, you'll have a great camera, but all the disadvantages of shooting film, included extra material and development costs, no instant feedback, quantity limitation, risk to expose, etc, etc. On the other hand, good quality film (expensive) will probably edge the digital in performance and quality.
On the other hand digital p&s will have all perks of digital, but you lose the super advantages of an SLR, including huge sensor and excellent lenses, which means quality, faster operation, more flexibility, etc.
So, it's really a hard choice. Only you would know how you make the trade quality vs convenience... It's better to save up and get a digital SLR, or to consider a used one to fit your budget. That's what I would do..
