Apart from megapixels, you may consider:
Zoom
Image stabilization
Shutter lag
Flash recycle time
Battery type
Size
Canon is the most popular brand. There are a couple of sites that can help you choose:

are you looking for a point-and-shoot or an SLR?
Canons are good because they have a high CCD. Thats important. |

"Canons are good because they have a high CCD. Thats important"
Who told you this? What data do you have to back this up?
And what is a "high CCD"? |

and knowing would affect you in what way?
But if it is important in you decision making process,
Canon is still number 1 in sales in 2006 followed by Nikon.
Olympus and Pentax were tied in 3rd and followed by Panasonic and Samsung. |
