1.  How much money are you prepared to spend?

2.  What do you want to do with the pictures?  Do you simply want to view 
them on your computer screen or use them on a website?  If so, 2 megapixels 
would be enough.  If you want to make prints, 3-4MP is good enough for A4. 
For good A3 prints you'd need 6-8 megapixels.  You don't really need more 
than 8 megapixels unless you want to make huge prints or you're a 
professional.

3.  Do you plan to make adjustments to your photographs afterwards?  If so, 
get a camera that can save in RAW mode.

All digital cameras use memory cards.

Maybe it does.  What about lenses?  Everybody seems to be obsessed with 
megapixels these days, but you need good quality lenses to get the best 
results.  Many digicams have poor lenses.  As a simple rule of thumb, the 
bigger the lens the better the quality (I don't mean length, I mean the 
width of the glass).  For the best quality, get a DSLR with interchangeable 
lenses, if you can afford to spend that much.

Everything's got auto-everything these days...

Not many cameras have that, it's usually something you get on certain 
lenses, another good reason for getting a DSLR.

You do that in the processing software afterwards.

Personally I'm a fan of Canon.  If you want very good quality without 
spending a fortune, I recommend the Canon 350D.  It's an excellent quality 
and value 8MP DSLR, but you'll have to buy a few extra lenses to get the 
best out of it.  Buy this if you're serious about quality.

If you'd prefer something a bit more modest, the Canon G6 is a very good 7MP 
digicam, and you can get wide angle and telephoto adapters for it too.

Somewhere in between those is the Minolta A2, an 8MP digicam with a very 
long lens range, and it has image stabilisation.

If you want something lightweight but still powerful, take a look at the 
Panasonic LX1.  It's extremely small and light, 8MP in widescreen format and 
can do decent widescreen video too.  Like all the above cameras it has a RAW 
mode, and also the image stabilisation you'd like.

Also take a look at the Sony DSC-R1, a very good quality 10MP digicam which 
has DSLR quality (due to the large sensor) and an excellent quality lens.

That lot should get you started.
