I have the Nikon Coolpix 800. Things to look for in the camera is resolution ( like 1200 x 1600 ) and Megapixels ( like 2.1 ). On the internet you won't probably be able to tell the difference between a 2.1 megapixel camera and a 3.0 megapixel. But it is nice if the camera shoots high resolution. One of my tricks to making the pics come out nice it to take the original pic at 1200x1600 resolution and use a cropping tool to center it really nice. Say the pic is then 800x600 after cropping. Then I resize it for the internet and make it 400x300 or whatever. That way if your buddy takes a pic and you are off to the left, you can make it look like it was perfectly framed.
