The other thing is the speed of the auto focus - my Sony Cybershot 5mPixel is setup to autofocus on the "half press" of the "take the picture" button, it takes about .5 second to focus which has made for some bad action pictures not in focus!
I'll have to see if theres a "always focus" setting... hmmm
Others have said about the type of media the camera takes - also look at the price of comparable media ( Sony = Memory Stick Duo ) - I have a 1G which I get over 100 pictures on.
Also some do video too - limit resolution but OK for web or quick grabs when the minute could be lost.
I can bring it into work / Mondays ALUG meeting if you want.

Another thing I would watch for on this end of the market is shutter release response times...the Pentax in particular has a very annoying delay which makes it impossible to use for "action" shots. A pity as it is smaller and prettier than the Canon.
