Read this that I have pasted from another message for you here:

    Try to stay away from the Japanese and Korean Electronic "junk"
    manufacturers if at all possible and go with a maker that has
    produced a line of 35mm SLR cameras in the past.  The reasons
    for this are GENERAL QUALITY and SUPPORT.  (Notice how one begats
    the other.)

     1) Companies like Nikon, Olympus, Canon, Minolta, Lecia,
        Contax, Pentax, Fuji, (Kodak?, Polaroid?) offer products
        of excellent to good quality manufactur and staff an
        excellent to good support team with customer friendly
        policies.


     2) Companies like Sony, Samsung, Panasonic, Casio, Toshiba,
        Fujitsu, Epson, Kyocera, Ricoh,  and  Sharp, usually
        offer products engineered to fail rapidly (ie. fair
        to poor quality) and thier support teams /almost/ always
        follow a policy set up under the theme: The Company
        Must Always Profit -- Customer Satisfaction comes second!

    This is not really just opinion as I got to work with alot
    companies from both groups inside various sections as an
    independant contractor not all that long ago.  IMO, the only
    reason you would buy a digital (snap) camera from group 2)
    is if you were a Japanese Nationalist _and_ didn't care that
    much about quality or product life cycles.  This defines
    the majority of Japanese citizens btw.
