Within any manufacturer's product line price is usually a decent indicator of quality (their more expensive camera will likely be better at focusing, etc.).
Avoid cameras which only have digital zooms.
Look into video, you probably want one that does at least 1080 HD.
Take an SD card to the store and take some test pictures, how sharp is the image at 100%, etc.
A smaller f number (closer to 1.0) means the shutter can be faster in a given situation (meaning less chance for blur from the subject moving or the camera shaking).
For most people anything from the name brands (Canon, Sony, Nikon, Olympus) would be fine.
