CANON POWERSHOT...
I have had 3 of these cameras now over a 10 year period and i still have all 3 and use all 3. I gave 1 to my wife and the oldest camera to my son.

They are point-and-shoot, have a flip-screen LCD display, and have several models to choose from. Photo quality is very good in the newer models.

I recommend getting the highest optical zoom you can in any digital camera (12X is very good) because the picture quality is better.

Hope this helps...
