Canon Digital Cameras?

From what I've heard from photographers, Canon is the best brand. I'm looking into buying a Canon digital camera in the $300 or under price range.. any recomendations to one that takes quality photos, and is a good camera altogether?

1. I own a canon power shot a300 with the matching photo printer...both are very easy to use...The camera also does video clips
2. Cannon has a 5 megapixle SLR out there that is at walmart. This camera has got to be one of the better cameras that I got to play with and a great price too, under 400 bucks. I loved the Cannon Rebel X, but this camera takes the cake. Take a look: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=3913933 You will like it. the 12X optical zoom can make for a clear picture from 30-50 feet. That is great for a zoom. You will like it.
3. The Canon Powershot A540 seems to be a great match. It's a 6-megapixel camera with 4x optical zoom, and takes good photos. It goes for $250 at J&R Music and Computer World, and $280 at Best Buy.
4. canon has some of the best higher end cameras...that go for 1000+ for 300 range i think the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1 is the best...for just over 300 its 10x zoom while staying a compact size other then that i would go for one of the Fuji F series cameras because of the low light performance
5. hi: i have 3 model of canon,and i enjoy you should buy canon ,becase canon is profetional brand. please see my 360 yahoo photo albom,i took whit my camera
6. Well Canon is the only brand I would consider. It consistently gets top marks, and I have had mostly very good experiences from the brand. All cameras have an auto mode which means the camera will choose the aperture and shutter speed depending on lighting conditions. Others also have manual controls where you can be a bit more creative and have a little more control of certain settings. It really depends on what sort of photographer you are and what experience you have... There are 3 Canon cameras I am really liking at the moment and would recommend either.......(not including the digital slr cams of course!) A good choice is the fairly compact A620, which has 7.1MP, 4x zoom, excellent image quality and has a very handy flip out and twist (vari-angle) LCD screen. The reviews for this cam have been very positive. The new S3 IS, is a bit larger in size and has 12x optical zoom, 6MP, optical image stabilization and takes very good video in stereo sound...probably not a good choice for an absolute beginner. Another one which i am liking the sound of is the new Powershot SD 700 IS/or Digital Ixus 800 IS in some countries. It has 6 MP, 4X zoom and is primarily a point and shoot camera, with limited manual control, takes excellent quality pics, is extremely compact and has the added benefit of having optical image stabilization to lessen the chance of blurry pics. It would be the sort of cam you could carry with you all the time, say in your pocket or handbag. Just remember though, that most digital camera pics need some sort of post processing via Adobe Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro or other software on your computer to get the best results.
