i only skimmed this article... stay away from sony camera's... the colors tend to be off in their sensors, generally very very heavy in reds and blues
my personal recomendation for p&s digital is nikon's line... ive owned mine since 2000 and its worked great
after that comes canon
both manufactors are the top 2 leaders in cameras (all of them) and put more money into r&d then any of the other companies. they also make some of the best lenses
if your gonna go dslr, id suggest looking into the canon digital rebel (300d) or picking up a newly discounted canon eos 10d
