im assuming its a digital camera
megapixel (a 5 or 6 megapixel will be fine for everyday shots, for professional get one thats bigger), screen size (bigger is better), how far it zooms, how fast the shutter speed is (if it processes slow, then you wont be able to take another picture as fast) and try to look for the new ones with image stability.

All of the major brands have their fans, and I have no doubt that they are all good cameras. The only camera available at the moment that I would stay away from is the Fuji S9500. I bought one and the photos are just not sharp and clear.
Take your time looking, they are getting better and cheaper as time goes by.
Optical zoom is the most important thing, get the most you can for your money.
Digital zoom is a complete waste of time, do not consider this as a factor when buying a camera. Once you have bought a camera, turn digital zoom off.
Get the most megapixels you can for your money.
As a very rough rule of thumb when comparing your final choices in camera, take the number of megapixels and multiply that by the amount of optical zoom. Buy the camera with the highest number.
Try to avoid a camera that uses two 'AA' batteries (except perhaps the Kodaks that can use the CR3 Lithium ion Battery Pack). Get a camera that either uses four, or one with its own dedicated Lithium Ion battery pack. (If you want to keep it for a long time, check the price and availability of replacement batteries. perhaps ebay?)

If a digital camera: picture storage capacity, additional storage cartridges, battery life, additional battery packs, carrying case for camera with accessories, warranty package on what parts, automatic focus, automatic light integrated fixture, just a point and shoot type of camera which are basically dummy proof... I just got myself a couple of days ago a Sony Cybershot 10.1 megapixels. Excellent, excellent, excellent...
Good luck and good hunting!!!

I dont know about Analog cameras but in digital camers the two major things to look for are the zoom and the megapixels.
