My suggestion is to buy one made by a camera company, not a computer/electronics company... I say this because of the lense... Camera companies generally have nicer lenses on their cameras in terms of quality... So I suggest Cannon, Olympus or Nikon... really you just need to know what the price range that people are shopping in and compare... I know Olympus's website even has a comparison asking what type of features you want over others... It is pretty good to get an idea...

I personally have a Cannon now (I wanted the smaller size), but before that I had an Olympus... Nikon in general makes a lot more higher end camera's and only a few lower end models...

Hope that helps...
