"Does what it says on the box"
What I like:
Light, easy to use in auto mode, but also has different modes if you are feeling creative
What I don't like:
Auto focus can be a bit fussy
Review:
My first dSLR and very pleasing results up to now. The basic 18-55mm zoom lens is ok but I will need to invest in a telephoto zoom to get the best out of it. Easy to use in auto mode, point and click with automatic flash. Also has enough other programmes to let the more creative users get moe out. Overall good camera for the price.

Canon Digital IXUS 200 IS
Ticks numerous boxes, but it's not especially cheap and not particularly exciting
Canon PowerShot S90
The S90 is the enthusiast's dream, offering compactness, great image quality and superb controls
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX550
Disappointing. The hybrid touchscreen interface is lacklustre overall, and the lens isn't that good
Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1
Very expensive, but, as soon as you pick it up, you know this camera is special
