Camera Quality Suggestions

I was looking to get a new camera, I've read reviews and stuff, but that can only go so far, I've also seen clips on youtube etc, but those also can be just made up in order to advertise without me knowing. So this is where I want your help, please post a picture taken by the camera you have, and name the camera under the picture.
This is so I can compare pictures, and see which one fits me best.

e.g.
My cousin took this picture, with a fujifilm camera (I like the quality, but I think there may be better options out there)

@angelinexxxx: I like the canon quality too, ill add it to my list.

Is there anyone who wants to show me different versions of the Nikon brand?

@kaffleen well good picture quality in different situations (the one i have now has settings for night, low light, beach, etc) so I'm looking for a camera that is versatile, but will give me some epic quality. (though i'm not looking for a video camera). Like angeline's example is a camera with good quality (to me), if there is anything like that, or people feel is better, then they can post it in this thread. After seeing the image, and then researching on the camera, then I'll be able to decide whether it fits my needs or not. Which is why when, w.e his name is, said 'a camera is worthless if you don't know how to use it' I brushed it aside, I'm just curious to see what kinds of picutres different kinds of cameras take, why does it matter if I can use it or not, isn't that what learning is all about?

Uhm, I'd just like to say that hxc camera =/= needs tripod.
Lmfao, that is a very strange.. belief?

I highly agree with what Mythos had to say tho.
Camera ain't sht if you don't know how to use it.

LF> High quality camera? You can always go to the store and test them out.

EDIT: Also, some cameras operate better than others in certain situations, i.e. low lighting, outdoors, shooting sports, etc.
You looking for a camera with overall good qualities or wut?

@andretheman:
Here are some...
Free-hand panorama: http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff216/habokillen/Photos/Untitled_Panorama2.jpg?t=1298451337 (sky messed up, PS crashed due to crappy RAM)
A bird: http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff216/habokillen/FB/IMG_3003_copy.jpg (qualtiy is crappy because I saved it at the worst quality to save space)
HDR: http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff216/habokillen/FB/IMG_6185_6_7.jpg?t=1298451552

@andretheman: What are you trying to say... I just gave you a suggestion on a good camera... T_T

Also, my comment are correct, you can get that camera for ~500-1000$ (depending on wich kit you buy), it's a good quality camera the lets you take good pics and most importantly, [i]you won't need to upgrade in a while.[/i]

[quote=HolyMythos]Partly. I assume that someone who knows how to use the advanced features of a camera wouldn't be asking a forum that doesn't revolve around cameras for camera-related advice. I also assume that someone who knows how to use the advanced features of a camera would be able to spot what makes a camera good or not.[/quote]
Well I am asking specifically for picture quality, i've already explained that i have seen reviews etc, etc. But i've learnt that many reviews are made up just to advertise their own merchandise, which is why I am looking for real world photos, that will portray the camera that best fits me, as I mentioned before. I never once mentioned that the camera had to be advanced. Some times information is best gathered from the experiences of others.

[quote=andretheman]I don't want like a hardcore one, that requires tripods and other tools like that, but I LOVE high def photos, and I'm looking for a camera that is casual, but at the same time not bad quality. (So basically the best quality, without being too advanced).

Money is not an issue though.

EDIT: @angelinexxxx THe second one sent made me ooh, but its not as expensive as the first one you posted. which do you like better?

@HolyMythos Did you assume that I have no idea of how to work a camera because I am asking basil for advice on a good camera?[/quote]
