Who would have thought of a 6 megapixel entry level camera a few years ago. Pentax now introduces the Optio60 as an excellent choice for digital newcomers. An easy-to-understand “Simple mode” deserves the credit for lowering the learning curve of the Optio60. The Optio60 features a 2.0 inch LCD plus a viewfinder with automatic diopter adjustment to enhance viewing for users who may lack perfect eyesight. Less
The EOS Rebel T2i has an 18.0-megapixel CMOS sensor that captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range and offers more than enough resolution for big enlargements or crops.

I got this camera as a present for the end of year holidays (sanitized to be PC) from the wife as she's fed up with our Sony 5 Megapixel camera that has so much boot up time and shutter lag it nearly missed the holidays entirely (press, yawn, ponder, flash, darn missed again).

Pros High Megapixles, light.
Cons Poor battery life, blurry, slow shutter.
Recommended it? No

Two years ago I decided to buy a digital camera to stay up-to-date on technology. I did a bit of research via Consumer Reports looking for recommendations and features to look for in a camera. At the time, they were very happy with many different Pentax digital cameras.

Pros Easy interface, beautiful renderings, fully customizable. 
Cons Could use more zoom, but different lenses can be purchased for distant shots.  
Recommended it? Yes

I recently purchased the Canon REBEL T2i / EOS for a family vacation to niagara falls.  I have never owned a professional camera beforehand so I figured it would be difficult to learn but it was really simple.  Beautiful pictures, ample shot settings, and quick changing to different style...
