Sanchezf, WHile it is fine to look at images produced from the different cameras, remember that it is not just the camera that makes a good picture.
It is knowledge of your camera and how to use it, using the proper settings, and lighting. Then you get into composition.
You can take a $100 point and shoot and get a great picture if the setting, lighting and all are correct. At the same time you can take a $5000 DLSR and get a really crappy, blurred, noisy image as well.
When comparing cameras, I found you have to educate yourself on cameras, and pick the options that you feel will aid you in the type of photos you plan to take.
Example: If you are taking sports pictures mostly, shutter lag can really be a bummer, while image stablization really doesn't matter.
But if you are taking portrait style stuff of your kids, stablization is much more important, and shutter lag won't be that great of an issue.
Back to my point I guess, don't just look at the pictures and pick the best picture and say that is the camera I need.

jbr hit the nail on the head....
if you want to look at pics by camera model, you can go to Welcome to Flickr - Photo Sharing and do a search by the camera model.....this way you can see some results from the cameras you are interested in.
Also, you can do some side by side comparisons and read reviews about nearly every camera available on Digital Camera Reviews and News: Digital Photography Review: Forums, Glossary, FAQ

Wow, I have a Kodak Easy Share (one of the first ones they came out with) and it doesn't even come close to pictures like that, in fact it has been nothing but problems..

I LOVE mine, i have no skills what so ever when it comes to pic taking - but it makes me look like I know what Im doing. I've dropped this thing so many times Im surprised its still kicking. Have never had a single problem.

Here is an example of what I was saying. You can get really good, and not so good pictures out of the same camera.
All with Nikon D50
Not so good lacrosse shot
Better Motocross shot
Not so great Demo Derby
Little better Demo Derby shot
Tank you for sharing, I see exactly what you mean.
Does anyone know if there is a local photography class I could take once I get my new camera?
Somebody else said it... the camera doesn't matter so much, you have to know how to use what you have.
That being said, I'm a big Nikon fan and I love my Nikon D70s with the 18-200 VR lens. It's really versatile and I spent a lot of time studying all the features and how to use them. Understanding the white balance settings can make even a crappy camera 100% better than the 'Auto' mode!
Go to Flickr like another reader said and you can search by camera type, but I've seen great pictures taken by all kinds of cameras. Nikon and Cannon DSLRs both take fantastic pictures.
I really like Ken Rockwell's website for lots of good info: KenRockwell.com - really good stuff there!
