I suggest you check out http://www.dpreview.com and go to Reviews.

There is a huge selection of digital cameras now and this should help your decision.

DPReview and Steve's are excellent sites.

Here's what may be a better site for getting started as you get guided into various categories depending on the type of photographs that you like to shoot.

If you're in the US try using http://www.pricegrabber.com. Go to the digital camera page and put in your maximum price and see what pops out.

I just ordered the Nikon Coolpix 5700. I know I went over my spending $300 for a digital cam. Now I need help on getting the most important option or options that does not come with the cam?

Congrats on the 5700, that's a good camera.

The only 'must' for me is a UV filter to protect the lens.

Then my list would be: extra battery(ies), enough memory cards to get me through the day, a polarizing filter.
