As others have said, there is such a broad array. It's like just asking, "where should I go on vacation?" -- without knowing your tastes, your price range, etc.
The 2 most important priorities are probably size and price.
Do you want something that fits in your pocket, that you can carry everywhere? Or you ok with a camera that needs its own bag, or something in between? (Doesn't fit in your pocket, but still pretty light to carry around).
Price.... It's hard to get something "good" for under $200. But depending on your other priorities, you could be looking in the $200-$300 range, of the $1,000+ range.
The next question I would ask, is what are your priorities, how do you use your camera. Do you mostly post pictures on facebook or print 4X6's... or do you print 8X10's and larger? Do you generally photograph indoors in low light, or outdoors? Do you take a lot of candids and actions shots, or more posed and scenic? What's more important to you, image quality or a good reaching zoom?
How important is ease of use? All new cameras have pretty good automatic modes these days, but do you want the ability to apply more fine-tuned manual controls? Do you want the ability to expand on the camera, add lenses, etc. Or just a final product ready to go, out of the box?
There are other factors, but these are the big ones.
