Two questions:
Are you just a casual camera user/beginner? Or do you have a lot experience with taking pictures in the past (with standard film or whatever)?
and... What are you looking to spend? Do you want a "starter" camera thats a bit cheaper that will work, or something very very good?
The Canon Powershot line is reccomended. I have the A75 and I like it a lot. Its not the best camera in the world, but it does take good shots. Only when my picture taking skills improve (im still a beginner at this stuff) will I upgrade to something truely great.

My fiance just got a Canon Powershot ELPH S500 and we love it. It's compact, takes a great picture, has a nice zoom, and is easy to use.
I have a Canon Digital Rebel EOS SLR. This a beginners SLR, but advanced point and shoot, if you know what I mean. I like it mostly because it accepts any lens Canon makes and takes rapid pictures without loss of quality due to movement. Only downfall is the size. It's very bulky compared to the regular point and shoot types.
Regardless, you can't go wrong with just about any Canon or Nikon.

The Canons and Fujis are two great brands. If you can spend the $1,300 for a Nikon D70, that was Popular Photography's Camera of the Year.
Several friends are having fun with the more reasonably priced Panasonic Lumix cameras which have Leica optics.
