Depends on what the main purpose of the camera will be and how much money you have to spend. If its astrofotography (taking that from your nick) I guess you want something with a big sensor (full format).
I only have a Panasonic DC-FZ83 with a fixed lens. That lens has an enormous zoom of 60x so for instance you can get the moon in full image format but naturally there are other compromises to have with the image quality.
Wifey has a mirrorless Panasonic DC-G91 which is a neat little camera with interchangeable lenses. I am going to buy an adapter for my telescope so I can attach the camera to it. Unfortunately the sensor is not a full format sensor which is better for astrofotography as it receives more light in the same time but you take what you have available.

Which telescope do you own? And yeah, I want one for Astrophotography

And the camera you have, With a fixed lens, they are called "Point and Shoot" Cameras

A Skywatcher Evostar-120 with an EQ-5 telescope mount. It is a refractor telescope with 1000 mm length and 120 mm diameter.

Oh, cool one! Refractors are the best!

I own one, but despite some good advice given in this thread, you should check out:
www.dpreview.com/
I had a decent idea of what I had wanted, and I still spent weeks reading through the site.
