The first thing you want to check out is what type of pictures do you wish to take with your camera? Do you want to take large scenic pictures, go to sporting events or maybe just family photographs?<br />

Digital camera makers put a lot of focus in the number of pixels a camera has. The more pixels it has the larger the print can be and obviously the sharper and more detailed it will turn out. The ranged are 4-6 megapixels, these are the very low end of the market and are not sold very often now. They will produce standard sized photos but wont allow for increased sizes in print due to the low level of detail they produce. Preferably you want something with at least 8 megapixels as they have come down in price quite a bit and will give you a very high level of detail and can give you a nice A3 sized print if you wish to have something framed for your home.<br />

What type of memory slot does the camera have? Older cameras had built in memory, but this never used to be very large and you would have to download your images onto your computer before you could take any more. But that's no longer an issue if you're buying new. One thing to keep in mind is you will need to way to read the memory card on the camera to get it on your PC. If you are using a laptop, most of them come with a card reader in the side which you just slot the memory into. But if you are using a home PC it probably wont, so you may need to buy a card reader that will go into the USB slot. Another option for some cameras is you can just use a lead from the camera to the PC and transfer them that way. The most popular types of card are CompactFlash (CF), Secure Digital (SD), or xD-Picture Card.<br />
<br />
What type of battery? This isn't so much of an issue these days, but some places may try to sell you an older camera that uses traditional AA or AAA batteries. I would avoid these at all cost, the reason being is they run out quickly and you can now buy a camera which uses a Lithium celled battery. These don't need replacing, you just have to charge them up and they last about 50x longer than standard batteries! Think how much a pack of AA batteries cost, then multiply that by 50. You can see why you shouldn't buy a camera without a lithium celled battery in.<br />

Try the camera before buying. A lot of retailers will have live examples on display. Ask them if you can use it just to take a few test snap shots in the shop. Just to get a feel for everything and how easy it is to use it. Thing of things like the weight of it, can you reach the zoom buttons easily? Consider then going on to buy from the Internet as it can be cheaper than retail high street shops.</p>
