No. 1 Test the Camera Before u Buy
You don't want to buy a camera only end up not liking it at all. Maybe certain features u read online sound good in a review but actually not suitable for u. Try taking shots of yourself, if u like what u see, then chances are u'll love the pictures u'll take with it. And ask a lot of question about the camera features and functionality.
NO. 2 Set Your Budget
Don't buy a camera that sound cool to have but too expensive to own. For a novice user, there's no need to buy an SLR camera just for the purpose of taking shots of your pet turtle. SLR camera is a professional camera suitable for people who travels a lot and who takes photo as a living. Make sure u know what purpose the camera for and knows what features u really need. Go to various shop and get a better deal, preferably buy during promotional period.NO. 3 Digital Camera MegaPixel
Is it that important? It is important if u want to take sharp and clear image. But make sure u buy bigger memory for it (1 or 2GB). Cos the bigger the MegaPixel, the more space it uses.
NO. 4 Digital Camera ZOOM
Whats the difference between Digital Zoom and Optical Zoom? Digital zoom is enlarging a portion of the image from the optical zoom, same concept in croping an image and making it large but in doing so, u lose the image quality. And it doesn't serve much purpose, becos if u need to enlarge the flower petals for instance u can use photoshop to crop it. Optical zoom however uses the optic lens of the camera to bring the object closer.
NO. 5 Make Sure U Know What U Want
This is the same as in setting ur budget. U need to know what purpose ur camera is for, what type of pictures u usually takes. Which brand u want (among the top brand: Canon, Nikon, FujiFilm, Olympus etc). How many megapixel u need and whether u need that much.
With this 5 methods, I'm sure it'll be easier to set your focus on which type of camera to buy. For a beginner, it's always better to get a point and shoot camera. For a normal user like me, I prefer no complicated menu and most importantly user friendly, just set it to Auto and let the camera do the rest, no worries about setting the optical lens or digital zoom or whatever technical terms that only professional photographer need to know.

The canon look sleek & cool! I suggest you put more pics on Canon & the quality of photos you can take with each of the camera.
Points taken. Thanks for the comment. For the model here,Canon has 7.1MP, whereas FujiFilm has 12.0MP. The Kodak has 5.0MP. Most of the pic taken here is shot by using FujiFilm camera :-)
