How much (approximately) are you planning to spend for the camera?
(point and shoot cameras cost from $100 to $500)
(Digital single lens reflex (DSLR) cameras cost from $500 to infinity)

What size camera are you looking for?
(shirt pocket, pants pocket, jacket pocket, too big for a pocket)

Normal optical zoom is 3X or 4X, is that enough?

I am willing to spend between $100-$500.

I am looking for a camera to fit in shirt or pants pocket.

3X or $X is fine.
