Cannon, Fujifilm, Kodak, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax, Sony
( I have omitted companies such as: Casio, HP, Samsung)
becuase they don’t really make their own camera lenses per say. And that they clearly aren’t among the upper tier of camera company groups. Although they make good camera’s just not part of that select group of pioneers in the camera world.
As well as …Konica minolta just becuase they arent that common.
Canon and Fujifilm and Nikon are probably the best. The canon powershot, the fujifilm finepixZ, and the nikon coolpix are great choices for compact cameras. The finepix is pretty, clear, and is probably my favorite, but all three are good. It is simply a personal choice.

If you are looking at companies that you call the "select group of pioneers in the camera world, " then I would rank Carl Zeiss number one follwed by Lieica, with Hasselblad third.
Then Pentax for introducing the pentaprism and reflex mirror for SLR cameras.
Also Konica Minolta is now Sony.

Check out the current November 2007 issue of Consumer Reports for a listing of digital camera manufacturers and their overall rating from fewer to more repairs. Here’s the ratings:
For point and shoot digital cameras:
Panasonic, Sony, Olympus, Kodak, Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, Pentax

In conclusion, there’s no surprise that Olympus manufactures very fine quality digital cameras.
Good luck!
