What is your favorite digital camera?

My birthday is coming up and I really, badly need a digital camera.
I take pictures with my friends all the time on my iPhone but the quality isn't very good.
My mom has an SLR nikon, but its HUGE and I want one that i can carry around (not SLR, just digital)
So my question is:
What would be the best camera for me to get? The price doesn't really matter, but I want something I can get at Best Buy and not have to order.
I'd like to know what camera you have and if you could rate it 1-5 that would be great.

"What is your favorite digital camera?"

Has NOTHING to do with this question…

It sounds like you are wanting a P&S (Point & Shoot) or a Bridge (looks kinda like a SLR but works more like a P&S)

If you don't know what you want/need as far as a camera goes, I would NOT let a BestBuy "expert" help you figure it out. Go to an actual camera store in your area, the camera store will have a wider choice and most offer camera classes to help you take better photos.

Go to http://www.yellowpages.com and type in camera and your city, state

Good luck

EDIT: BTW, My favorite cam is my 1D Mark III… Another one of those HUGE DSLRs
