Casio Z75 or Z1050 is a great choice; 7.2MP -10.2MP nice and thin, lightweight, shoots photos and video with sound. Easy to use controls and a 2.5" screen to view.

The best digital camera ever - - - comes out tomorrow, or next week, or after you've bought one.
If your budget is unlimited, there's a Hasselblad H3D-39 for $31,995.00, a Canon EOS-1DS Mark II (body only) for $6,999.95, a Leica M8 for $4,795.00, a Nikon D2Xs for $4,245.95, a Fujifilm FinePix S5Pro for $1,899.95, a Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1 for $1,349.95, a Sigma SD14 (body only) for $1,199.95, and the list goes on. Expect to spend as much as some spend for a small car.
Unless you're related to Donald Trump, (or make a guaranteed living with your photography) the real world looks like this.
You get a digital camera with interchangable lenses starting at $599 on up. A 'good zoom", (and we assume you mean a powerful range) can cost you from $199-$7,000, depending upon the range you want. Just remember, if you get a huge lens, it's going to be dead weight for the times when you don't need the extra range. Most photographers get several lenses, covering wide, medium, to telephoto ranges.
All digital cameras plug into computer, so that's not a concern.
Having a big screen is great, if you are dependent on the screen. A DSLR doesn't use the screen for composing or taking the picture. These advanced models only use the screen for reviewing the photos afterwards. The one exception would be the Olympus series.
Memory cards are purchased separately and hold various amounts of pictures dependent on their size. One other factor to remember it this - the more megapixels the camera, the fewer pictures the card will hold.
If you want a point & shoot digital that doesn't have interchangable lenses, then that's a whole 'nother discussion.
If you want a website, here's an interesting read for you.

You didn't say how much you want to spend or if you want automatic or SLR. Sony makes some great cameras. Also Canon. I've got a Sony DSC and I love it. It cost $500. But they have less expensive ones too. Check out the websites of makers of digital cameras. You can't go wrong if you go with a company that has been making cameras for decades.
Go with a 10 optical zoom at least. The lens makes a difference and the display screen of 2.5" at least. Sony comes with free software that is easy to use and edits your pictures. Yuo can get Gigobyte Memory Chips that hold alot of pictures. Nothing less than 5 megapixel if you are going to blow up to 8x10. You will need 10megapixel if you want anything larger. 3 megapixel is just fine for 4x6 or 5x7.

Even though I personally own this ultra compact camera, I would still like to highly recommend the purchase of a Nikon Coolpix L10 for the following reasons:
1. Besides taking well-exposed hi-quality 5 megapixel pictures, it uses a standard set of rechargeable double AA batteries which last a very long time;
2. Has a 3x optical zoom;
3. The flash setting for "red-eye" correction is on the navigator wheel and not within a submenu;
4. It's very small and light;
5. Uses inexpensive SD memory cards;
6. The digital video feature takes wonderful "sound" videos which are noise free. It records the piano very well with it's built-in microphone;
7. It comes with a USB 2.0 transfer cable which you connect to your USB computer port;
8. Has tripod mount on bottom of camera;
9. And the price is a mere $119 [sold at Samy's Camera - www.samys.com, and Staples.com.]
Review(s) can be found at www.amazon.com [Query: "Nikon Coolpix L10" along with pictures provided by satisfied purchasers.]
Good luck!

Ok, lets narrow it down first.
SLR?
Point & Shoot?
Price?
Memory is easy, it depends on the card.
Given you don't know what you're after, probably best to start with a mid-range point and shoot camera. Canon and Nikon are really good brands, but you can get a decent pentax a little cheaper.
Let us know some more features, or what you want to use it for, and someone here will be able to help.
But at the moment, the best digital camera ever is ridiculously far out of your price range, and way more impressive than you can imagine.

while you're downloading the photos on your computing gadget or different storage as quickly as taken then the sole shrink may be the form of situations that the shutter operates. observing the make and sort then the digital camera could be examined for something from some thousand shutter operations by to a hundred,000 +. incredibly merely like countless different digital camera, it could breakdown or it could shop going for some years.

If you need a lot of zoom, the Canon 5s, H9 http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sonyh9/ are your choice. Or maybe a Canon A530.
Be careful of rip-off web sites though. Stay with Amazon, BHPhotoVideo, or a major web site.
But I have to ask, what do you mean by 'best'? Best price? image quality? smallest? Each of these are different cameras. While we all are striving to help you, more clarification would really help us help you. I can understand if some here would get frustrated by your question.
