Answer
If you want bling, get a Hasselblad. (but it's good bling)
If you're shopping Walmart and Target, then you must not be looking at DSLR's or other serious cameras. They have a couple, but no lense support and very little helpful knowledge from the majority of the staff there.
There's not one BEST brand, as cameras take so many forms and cover such a wide range.
Do you want a pocketsize camera in pink?
Do you want a camera with 15x zoom?
Are you looking at image stabilization?
Is there a camera bag with classic SLR lenses in your house?
Are you planning to take sports or action shots?
Do you want a camera that's extra simple to operate?
Are you going to experiment with manual settings?
Is the ability to take video clips important?
Will being waterproof and shockproof make a difference?
These are all serious questions and would give you different camera brands as answers. The best brand camera is the one YOU are most comfortable holding in your hands to take the kinds of pictures you want.
Here's one link with some 'best cameras' reviews.

digital cameras?
sameh h

Answer
As far as cameras are concerned, again, it depends on what you want.
The highest quality Digital cameras are the Digital SLRs, and Pentax makes the best with the K10
( http://www.pentaxslr.com/bodies/k10 ) around $899
-These allow you to swap in and out all Pentax lenses, for professional level photography.
However, you may be looking for something smaller (of the point and shoot variety if you dont want to be swapping lenses or buying separate lenses).
If you want a good quality point and shoot, Cannon offers the PowerShot S5 IS which has one of the best zooms out there (12X Optical & 4x digital for a 48x Zoom) at around $379.99

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8297513&type=product&id=1172881524725
If you want a good waterproof camera, there is the Pentax Optio W30 7.1-Megapixel Digital Camera at around $299.99
http://www.pentaximaging.com/products/product_details/digital_camera--Optio_W30/reqID--9587364/subsection--optio
http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Pentax-Optio-W30-7-1-Megapixel-Digital-Camera/sem/rpsm/oid/189962/catOid/-13062/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do
If durability is a concern, there is the compact Olympus - Stylus 7.1MP Digital Camera 790 SW which is shockproof up to 5 feet and crushproof up to 220 pounds, and freeze and water resistent to a certain degree for around $299.99

http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Olympus-Stylus-790-SW-7-1-Megapixel-Digital-Camera-Silver/sem/rpsm/oid/191631/catOid/-13062/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do
So, it really all comes down to what you are looking for. I would suggest going to a BestBuy and/or Circuitcity and checking out some of these cameras before you make a decision on buying.
Best in quality are the Pentax Digital SLRs, 2nd is probably the Cannon Digital SLRs. For point and shoot, if you want quality I'd go with the Canon PowerShot S5 IS.
My sister uses the PowerShot S3 IS (a couple models ago) as a biologist photographing different animals down in the rainforest, and the zoom and quality are unbeatable for a point and shoot in this price range.
If choosing between the sony cybershot or panasonic lumix, I would pick the panasonic since it has the much better total zoom.
Panasonic Lumix FZ50 ($650)
Optical: 12x
Digital: 2x / 4x pre-select (Max. 48x combined with Optical Zoom without Extra Optical Zoom)
DSC-H9 Cyber-shot® Digital Camera ($429.99)
Optical Zoom 15X
Digital Zoom 0-2.0X (Precision) -which equals 30x combined zoom)
Here are reviews on both the and the PowerShot S5 IS that I mentioned earlier and the Panasonic Lumix FZ50, so that you can get a little bit of a comparison:
