Hi Chris. Don't get oversold on whatever you buy. Deciding what you will actually do with the camera will make your decision easier (emailing, printing, what size prints, informational snap shots, porn, etc). The PMA photo show recently ended in Las Vegas, so there will be new models coming in the next few months, so existing (discontinued) models may well drop in price.
For most general usage, 3MP is plenty, more is startintg to be overkill for the vast majority of point and shooting if that is what you want to do with your digicam. Them cameras that record to mini cd's are relatively slow at the writing vs. other media types. Bigger LCD screens are nice but still tend to wash out in bright light and use more battery power. Stay away from cameras that tout digital zoom over optical zoom, optical is way to go.
Just a few pointers from someone who has sold these things from the beginning, but recently out of that field. Hope this helps. Mark
