I can help make your decision easier, if you answer a few easy questions. 1- What's your budget?
2- What type of photos would you most likely be taking?
3- Would you intend to print copies, or simply share photos on the internet? Most point and shoot cameras made today have megapixel ratings of "5 Megapixels" or higher. The "MP" rating determines to a large degree, the size of prints that can be produced. A 3 MP camera can produce excelent 4x6 prints, a 5 MP camera can produce fine 8x10 prints, and they can both send beautiful images over the internet. Most point and shoot cameras come with telephoto lenses, and are rated as 4X optical, 4X digital, etc. These lens settings allow you to take family group photos, or objects farther away. I would strongly urge you to stay with manufacturers that are in the business of making quality cameras, such as Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax, Fuji, etc. They are all world proven products, and will give excellent results. Regarding memory cards........most come with your camera, but are usually of small size. Memory cards come in various sizes, that will determine the number of images that may be recorded on them at one time. With a 5 MP camera, and a 512 MB card, you could expect about 350 images to be recorded . The larger the card, the more images can be stored. Most digital cameras eat batteries, so if your camera uses "AA" batteries, you might wish to invest in a charger and rechargable batteries. I've been a photographer for over 50 years, and I hope this explanation hasn't been too "Wordy".
