I've had a few cameras and other things to consider beyond the obvious megapixel and size issues are;

speed of startup and write time - very frustrating if you are ready to capture a "kodak moment" but the camera isn't.

what you are going to use it for. If it is just casual use or small pictures then 2Mp or 3.2Mp should be fine - and one CF or SD card should last you a whole holiday.

size of battery charger. If you are taking it on holiday then you will need to take the charger with you (or have a couple of spare batts).

It may be that one of the newer cameraphones (now up to 2 Mp) may do you fine if its just for casual shots.

This is just from the perspective of a point and click guy so different things may take priority if you are not.

cheers, Chi
