First you should know how much money you want to spend.
Second you should know that more megapixels is not always better becuase all sensors are not created equal.
Third you should absolutely disregard "digital zoom" as a marketing scam.
Fourth you should read, read read...dpreview.com is very very good.
Also consider...shutter delay between when you push the button and when the photo is taken...manual overrides for creative control...
The following like will help narrow your selection from the dizzying number of choices.

first, decide what you want to do with your camera. most cameras are big enough now that you can make prints with them, and also do pics for the web and sometimes video.
If you want portability, check weight and size.
If you end up with fuzzy pictures, go with the anti-shake technology.
If you want a digital that you can grow into, but don't want to spend a fortune, buy used. KEH and Adorama are both good sources.
