I’ve never had a digital camera (and this does not include whatever came on my phone), but I’m thinking about purchasing one. What are some things to consider in choosing a camera? I’m not looking to spend an arm and a leg to get a super-duper top-tier model; I just want one that’s decent that takes pictures without my having to jump through too many hoops.
If you have a model that you’d like to pimp because you bought it and love it so much, that’s cool too. 
Thanks for the help!
