What quality do you look out for in digital camera?

I have a Nikon but there is one thing to make sure you get is if it has video on it make sure it comes with sound as well, mine doesn't seem to have it which is something I didn't realize until awhile after I bought it, and one that takes photos at band gigs I hate the fact that I can't seen to get rid of the delay from pressing the button to when the photo actually takes, I have taken the red eye off but there still seems to be a slight delay which mean the difference between a good shot and a shot with a microphone in the face when it comes to stage performances, but then I have always hated the red eye function, I feel it only good for portrait photography and red eye is so easy to get rif of by phot fixing I would much prefer not to have it at all...

actually right, sony cybershot will be cool. i always love to have one. but now, im changing my interest to EOS canon. it's so cool!
