I have always gotten a Sony Camera for point and shoot, the most recent one i bought DSC-WX50

Tons of feautures could also record videos in HD
things i like about it:
- Panoramic Sweep
- if you have a shakey hand it wont be blurry
- small/light weight
- Lots of different scenery/settings to choose from
one of my favourite setting is this shot
