Here are some tips on looking for a digital camera:
Look for high optical zoom. Digital zoom just magnifies the pixels, like
resize on any computer imaging program.
Get something that uses conventional batteries. Recharges take too long.
Make sure it uses a popular Data storage device, like Memory Stick. Floppy
disk is not too popular.
LCD display and USB connection are good things to look for.
Get a widely known brand, like Nikon, Sony, etc.
3 megapixels is a good standard to set on quality.
Get it from a physical store like Best Buy. Online stores can't let you
inspect a camera hands-on.
