My check list for pre-purchase of a digital camera.
--
- Digital or optical zoom (optical is physical move zoom, digital is photoshop enlarge image style)
- CCD size or resolution of photos (4 mega pixels is minimum, 7 is good for serious photos)
- Lens (camera brand lens or dedicated lens from famous lens makers)
- Physical size (make sure it can fit in your pocket, you'll want to do that later on)
- Memory size (how much internal and slots for expandable memory, all modern cameras have slots)
- LCD size (find to suit your personal needs)
- Battery life (you'll want to find out how long your camera can last on a full charge, you may even want to find out how much extra batteries cost if you go on holidays a lot or if you do a lot of photos away from home.

Things you will have to go online and read reviews to find out
- Image quality and clarity
- Problems or bugs in camera or software
- Price comparison
- General product review (usually identifies some weak spots of the camera and some competitive features but you have to decide how important or creditable the reviews are)
and I think that's about it
