I think a good digital camera needs to have excellent zooming capabilities. Optical and digital zoom that is. That is one of the important criteria I go for, equally important is size and look.

The megapixel race is over man, don't fall for that.
4Megapixels are MORE THAN ENOUGH for the regular user needs. Look for the following:
1. Quality of lens: In this case, stick ONLY to cameras made by recognized analog camera makers: Canon, Olympus, Nikon, etc... Ditch ANYTHING made by computer-makers (Panasonic, casio, etc). There are enough cheap plastic lenses in the world already. You want an ALL GLAS SPHERICAL lens
2. Size: How does it feel in your hand? do you see carrying it everywhere
3. Zoom: it comes in handy, ask for at least a 3X OPTICAL (not digital, that is bullshit)
4. Battery life: Does it have a propietary (read expensive) battery, or can you hook up the ocassional emergency AAs
5. Quality of pics: Too many cameras doubling as MP3 players, video recorders, dictaphones, etc... if they are throwing all those freebis chances are the pircutre quality is lacking. TEST DRIVE IT before you buy

^ Excellent advice!
The average user doesn't need anymore then 4 megapixels imo. You see all these fancy ass cameras with 7+ megapixels that the average user would never be able to tell the difference between that and a 3 megapixel cam. It's just a waste of money.
Personally I think it all depends on your use and budget. If you're just looking for a decent cam to take casual pics with, then really any camera from any reputable brand will do. I just got a Sony Cybershot DSC-L1 for $95. It is 4.1 megapixels with 3X optical zoom. For daily use it's perfect. I like the fact that it is compatible with other applications such as my photo printer.
Leave the high-end cameras to the pros.
