*IF* you are going with Canon, go for the A610, not the A95. The A95 is the older model which the A610 is based on. But the A610 has better resolution, better quality, bigger screen, SD instead of CF and most importantly, it is using the Digic-2 CPU, which is much faster than the Digic-1 and it has the SAME price as the A95 (at least list price). The A610 was my personal choice a few weeks ago as a good all-around digicam that has the best of all worlds into it (only problem it has is that its lense is not that wide).
The Canon A620 has a newer sensor and therefore better picture quality:

I'm planning to buy a digital camera soon - I did consider Kodak at one point, some of their models have recived good reviews, but I think I'm going to go for a Canon A95 (5 megapixel camera). Just about every review I've read has rated the camera highly. It's a point-and-shoot with a handy swivel LCD screen, but it also has fairly extensive manual controls for when you're feeling more adventurous. In other words, it's a good camera for a beginner to pick up, but also one you can advance with as you gain more experience - just the sort of thing for a beginner like me :-)
