I am looking at 4 different cameras--The Panasonic DMC-TZ1--Canon S2 IS--Nikon Coolpix S4--FujiFilm FinePix S5200, which of these would you recommend and which would be the easiest to use.
Thank you
Ann

First thing you should ask yourself is, what am I going to use this for? Then take a look at the specs to see if they even are capable of doing what you want. Next is, what's your budget. You may find that for a few bucks more, one model has 90% of what you want, but larger MP, while one has 100% of what you want but doens't have that MP boost and as such, it may be worth it to choose more higher resolution over whistles and bells.

Digital HQ has a great breakdown for each here:

Panasonic TZ1
Canon S2 IS
Nikon Coolpix S4
FujiFilm FinePix S5200

Buyer's Guides are great ideas as well as they can help with comparison.

Actually, I'd opt for the Canon S3 IS over the S2 model. It has an extra 1 megapixel and really looks cool in black! The S2 price is a bit better, however.
