Overall if more than 8 out of 10 reviewers gave positive reviews, then the camera is worth checking out at the store.

Last, dont forget your budget. Sometimes you could be tempted to just walk into an electronics store with no thought about the prices. Sometimes this is a horrible idea. Without a range of prices, you will fall in love with the expensive ones that you cant really afford.
