Not all cameras have the ability to attach to a tripod. Look at the base plate of your camera. There should be a threaded socket there. Your tripod will be equipped with a corresponding screw in its head plate. The industry has standardized the screw-and-socket arrangement (it's called 1/4" x 20 if you care). All tripods and all cameras should fit one another.
Tripod Heads Come In Different Styles And Can Be Tough To Choose From. Your first consideration should be how much weight you intend to put on them, The More Weight They Have To Hold The More The Price Goes Up. This really comes down to intended use, budget and personal preference.
If your camera lacks a threaded socket, you can still support it on the tripod head by hand. It's not as good as attaching it, but it's better than no support at all for a longish exposure. You can also steady any camera for any exposure that might otherwise "smear" by bracing or resting it on a chair, a table, a car roof, a handy railing, or whatever you can find. Bracing your elbows on anything handy may help as well. I have used a bean bag ashtray if you can still find one. It is small and light.
