Maybe the OP is looking for a bike with a 10 speed cassette?

The point being that we'd need a lot more information than you've
given us in order to make a reasonable recommendation. As the previous
poster says, these days quality "10 speeds" typically come with a
minimum of 18 speeds and as many as 27.
You say you're looking for the "best brands". A friend of mine
recently got an Independent Fabrications, Campy Record equipped road
bike (10-speed?) for which she paid in excess of $5000(US). Is this
the sort of thing you have in mind?

I am also looking for a new bike, I also need some recommendations...
Of course the first question should be what it will be used for....
In my case, some around town, some commuting, a few longer distance
runs, probably with 5kg of camera gear either on the bike or on me.
The operator is a 175cm (5'9") guy with weighing in around 100kg
(220lb), just getting ready to turn double sailboats (44).
Budget is reasonably low, ($5000 is way too high, thinking more in the
$300 range).
Any ideas......

10-speed cassette? 10 cogs? Think of the possibilities with 3 chain rings!!!

just a bike to ride the last one I had several years ago when I was a
kid was a 10 speed a huffy careera...
I haven't been on a bike in a long time but now that I've had
successful cataract surgery and can see much better than I have in
years I thought I might get a bke...
any suggestions?

For that sort of riding, you'll find a wider tire (32-35mm +, say) is
nice to have. A 26" vs 700c wheel size isn't a big deal. For on-road
use, most bike suspensions are just extra weight, but some people like
a shock absorbing seat post and/or handlebar stem. A way to rack a
mount is nice for a commuter, too, as are fenders.
If I was carring 5km of camera gear, I'd consider a foam-lined trunk
box that can be solidly fitted to a rack but can still be removed
quickly for security. My LBS sells some funky looking Italian ones that
look like Vespa accessories. They keylock to what I think is a custom
rack.
For $300, you're better off with a good used bike than a department
store bike, especially if you budget for new tires and a tuneup.
There's little point in buying junk.
My main bike is a modified hybrid. It's been on at least 3000 km of
long rides, plus half a decade of all-weather commuting to the tune of
about 3-4000km per year. It cost me about $300 CDN 5 years ago, and
I've probably spent twice that much again on tubes, patches, tires,
chains, cassettes, bearings, bottom brackets, and derailers (salt and
ice are hard on parts.) I also went through at least 3 seats and 3
handlebar configurations, but that's more me playing around than
anything else.

I'd recommend going to your local LBS and trying out a few. Then go home
and think about it for awhile. There are now many differnt type of
bikes; Road bikes, Mountain Bikes, "Comfort" Bikes. You're probably
picturing a road bike, but might in fact prefer a comfort bike when you
see them.

I was thinking something with a 7 speed hub rather then a large number

Apples vs. Oranges.
go to a bike store. Spend $1000 or more. Make sure they fit you right.
I only know from experience.
Of course it depends on how much you will ride.
If a few thousand miles a year, spend the money, you won't be sorry.

I think the most gears I've seen on a bike was a Sram 8x3 on the back,
a double chainring and a Schlupf mountain drive - 8x3x2x2 = 96 gears.
I'm sure more can be achieved, but that's the most I've actually seen
on a real, everyday-use bike. It was, of course, a recumbent trike.

And it makes your bike a ....

I can top that! Also seen on a recumbent: Triple crankset up
front, driving a 5-speed cluster below the seat, which in turn drove a
7-speed cluster at the rear wheel. 3x5x7 - 105 gears!

I can top that! Also seen on a recumbent: Triple crankset up
front, driving a 5-speed cluster below the seat, which in turn drove a
7-speed cluster at the rear wheel. 3x5x7 - 105 gears!

The stoker's crankset on our ViewPoint tandem drives a 7-speed cluster,
which drives the captain's triple crankset, which drives a 9-speed cluster
on the rear wheel: 7 x 3 x 9 = 189 gears
It would be easy to set one up with 9 x 3 x 9 = 243 gears.
For the stoker, anyway. The captain gets only 3 x 9 = 27 gears.

That'll be my new bike, on order.
Never said I was a hill climber.
