What for you are the 5 most important things to look for when buying a camera starting with the most important?

Almost everyone is going to be different if we have differing needs surely?

Mine are:-
Ability to focus and record a decent image in low light.
Reliability
Ergonomics
Cost
Availability of quality lenses
 
Bet Price features in most peoples list.

Is it aesthetically pleasing to her indoors
Can it be justified against the cost of a new dress and a dozen pairs of shoes, never to be worn.
Can it be upgraded easily without arousing suspicion.
Will it really get me out from under her feet for hours at a time.
Will it not cause too much bruising when launched in my direction when I suggest a new lens.

Am pretty sure that's the real list for half of us at least :lol:

My upgrade to the D300s was authorised by Imelda Marcos II on the basis that it accepted the EyeFi cards for wireless connection and her (unchallenged) assumption that EyeFi meant the camera would connect her permanently to Facebook and Yahoo Messenger while we are out and about...

She is excited about buying an EyeFi card in Hong Kong next Friday.... I have an uncomfortable feeling I might be spending most of our holiday hiding... :suspect:
 
This rather reflects the fact that I've bought new once but postly pre-owned and always online:

  1. Is this a significant upgrade for me?
  2. Is the price right?
  3. Is the condition right?
  4. Have I any doubts about the vendor?
  5. Why do I need a 5th excuse?
 
1. Ergonomics
2. Lens line up
3. Colour
4. Decent low light performance
5. Price
