Don't look at the mp's(they mattered way back when the first digitals, all pointnshoots, came out. not any more, unless you're planning on printing murals)...look for overall quality, what you'd need or desire in functions. Read reviews for what you're interested in. Also check prices of any lenses you might want.
When buying online, make sure the warranty is US-many cameras sold very cheaply via sites like Ebay are made for the European market and if repairs are ever needed under warranty, you'd be SOL getting one.
I'd also suggest seeing if lenses fit more than one model as a factor in getting any particular model. Should you ever decide to get a second, it makes sense to have lenses that are interchangeable, not have to start from scratch, ie; lenses that fit the Sony A100 also fit the Minolta Maxxums, 7D and 5D.
