New camera
I think I'm going to save up for a new digital camera soon. What are good things to look for? I really don't know anything about them, but like what should I find in terms of megapixels and such? Thanks!

Here is something you need to know, please take the time to read all of it. An article posted by the New York Times:

Anywhere between 5 and 8 is good for megapixels. More money doesn't always mean better. Check to make sure the camera has a good flash and settings you would want (cropping, red-eye reduction, smart lens zoom, etc). When you go to buy one, ask the people there for help and which one they would recommend. I have a Sony DSCN 1 with eight megapixels and it works great. Hope that helped and good luck.

Finally a good question!
I have 5 megapixels in mine;
5X Optical zoom (you want optical, not digital, because digital screws up the picture quality);
and I have a 2GB memory card- which is plenty of memory for anyone.
My camera is a Canon Powershot A530, which is EXCELLENT, but I've seen the Canon Powershot A630 which looks nicer.
If you need more information, when you go to buy the camera, ask the clerk about good qualities in cameras, and which one they suggest.
Hope I helped!

***EDIT***
Memory cards are bought separately and make sure to buy a case for your camera and possibly some rechargable batteries (if the camera takes them)- so this would be another thing to ask about when purchasing a camera. The best rechargable batteries have Nickel in them or something..
The clerk should know
