I'm planning to buy a digital camera that is worth $300 and under what are your suggestion and why I was looking at Nikkon,Sony,Cannon any suggsetions Thanks.
 
I love my Canon PowerShot SX120 IS. It's no DSLR, but it's definitely one of the best P&S cams you can get for <$300. It has a lot of control options, it has a full manual mode, which is what I use most of the time, an auto mode, and an easy mode where the camera does basically everything for you and even tells you what to do. It has up to 10x optical zoom and 4x digital, so its maximum zoom is 40x. It also has a very large screen so it's easier to tell how a pic is going to look when you upload it to the computer. It can record video, but it is not HD, but IMO, it still is pretty good quality. The best part about it is that it is only about $250 (though mine was only $140 because the store had it mislabled), and at a few stores it is only $199. The only P&S that I know of that's better than this camera is the Canon PowerShot SX20 IS, but it is about $100-$200 more expensive and is a lot more bulky, but it has up to 80x total zoom (20x optical, 4x digital) and will take crystal clear pics at it's max. zoom w/out even using a tripod.

This is the SX120 IS:
