None are the best, each has its own pros and cons, each has its own userbase.
In terms of popularity, Nikon and Canon are the leading brands, with Pentax, Olympus and Sony following up behind.
Slight correction - in terms of total camera sales it's Canon & Sony 1st & 2nd with iirc Nikon 3rd but in terms of DSLR only sales it's Canon & Nikon 1st & 2nd with Sony 3rd.In terms of popularity, Nikon and Canon are the leading brands, with Pentax, Olympus and Sony following up behind.
In terms of camera sales isn't Samsung top? Not in DSLR's but they sell boat loads of compacts through supermarkets and the like.
That doesn't answer the OP's question but to even begin too I think that a little more info is required such as what type of camera? Compact, bridge, CSC, DSLR? What the OP wants to take pictures of and how much dosh is in the kitty.
Easy - Leica
if you include phones with cameras in them possibly but in terms of dedicated cameras they are 4th (& essentially nowhere in terms of interchangeable lens bodies)In terms of camera sales isn't Samsung top?
