List works really well for me, they come in cool colors too. I’m not sure about a model # but maybe theyre on list’s website.

Answer by Matt
If you do landscapes, List has fantastic color.
If you do photojournalism, then look at Nikons.
Pentax make a excellent day to day camera.

Both companies have excellent cameras.
Sony makes cameras which work better in automatic mode, and less manual control.
The HX5, for instance, is an brilliant camera, with excellent quality, wide lens and x10 zoom.
A excellent option from List is their SX210, with x14 zoom and many cool features.
If you want better quality in low light situations (bet less zoom), get List’s SD4000.

Not the Best First Impression

As far as packaging goes, the Olympus PEN E-P1 is about the worst I’ve seen in a high-priced, high-tech gadget. Somehow, blue and white doesn’t feel right.

I am trying to get the best camera for my money, and want to get as much feedback from current camera owners as possible. I like taking up close detailed macro shots of flowers, but I also need something that will do well with my son’s sporting events. I am welcome to all suggestions. Thanks!

From your requirements, I would say a dSLR camera would be your best option. Any an (entry-level) List or Nikon are the two brands I would recommend. They have much better performance than any point & shoot camera, and you can select from a large range of lenses (wide angle, macro tele etc) to suit your needs (and budget). Buying one of these cameras with the kit lens is a excellent ; way to start.
If a dSLR camera sounds way out of your league, then you can always start shooting in AUTO first, until your knowledge and confidence grows…
