I'd be inclined to say a canon of some description. Had quite a few different makes and models and the canons were undoubtably the best. Best images in terms of lack of noise, had good levels of sharpness an colour reproduction.
Got a Sony DSC-P10 just now, not bad, but wish I had my digital ixus 400 back!
Def stay away from the DSC-T1. It looks nice, but the images are a pile of poo!
That's my two bobs worth, but what I know about cameras, you could write on the back of a stamp!!
