Bah. So, my camera is not working. It's a Canon a95. 5MP, 3x.
LCD works fine, it displays pictures I took before, and it shows me what settings I have selected and changes I'm making, but when I point the camera at things, it stays black, and when I take pictures, it takes a picture of black. Any idea if it might be fixable for an affordable price?
I'm pretty sure the warranty is expired -- if it hasn't, it'll expire in the fall.
Otherwise...

Any brands that are horrible or wonderful?
