Can anyone tell me what I should look out for when buying a digital camera?
What sort of spec should I be looking at?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I just spent something like 3 months trying to figure that all out, so I'll pass on what knowledge I gained...
Cameras come in varying megapixels, usualy at: 2mp, 3mp, 4mp, 5mp. This refers to the resolution (i think...) or how pixelated your images will be. The higher the #, the better and the more expensive. I would first decide what your megapixel # needs to be and that will start to narrow your search. If you're just using it for fun, 2-3, 3-4 for things that need good res. (I post my artwork on the web, so I need it to be pretty good.), 5 is the best quality.
That's the first and most major step. Then think about wether you want things like automatic and manual focus (some don't have a manual focus), user-friendly controls, size, weight, and of course, price.
Then, once you've narrowed it down a bit, I'd do some comparisons. There are some really helpfull websites that will do a much better job than I at explaning this. Try: imaging-resource.com (I think that's right....sorry) and dpreview.com
hope that helps....

I have a Nikon Coolpix 3100, and I really enjoy it.
Like Nico said go and have a look at dpreview.com.....
Good luck!

I've got a 2 megapixel Fuji Finepix camera - it doesn't have zoom, but other than that it's an awesome camera. I think you can get it for under $200. You can even record short movies without sound.

you can also buy electronics on Newegg.com. Make sure you looking for pixels are 2.0 or higher and have memory card. needs to be less confusing. and an Zoom on it also would help.
