Do you need the camera to be waterproof?
How big will you print the pictures you take with it, if ever?
Do you shoot from a variety of distances and need a good zoom?
How often do you like to shoot with manual controls?
Do you want a rechargeable battery, or should it be able to take AA/AAA-sized batteries?
Do you want a viewfinder, or will you shoot using the LCD on the back?
How much money are you willing to spend?
And as far as being pocketable...how big are your pockets?
