There is a strong dependency on what you will be taking pictures for.
For web purposes, I think a 1.3 megapixel (1280x1024) with a good macro
is more than enough. Actually, a 640x480 with good macro is almost
plenty. I have an Olympus D260 (or something like that). Unfortunately,
in some ways, I think I would have been better with a Mavica MD80 with
better zoom and macro capability but only 640x480. Ability to work in
low light situations is another important feature. For web purposes,
higher resolutions will just piss off your viewers who don't have DSL or
T1.
If you actually want to print out pictures, then the highest resolution
you can afford is worthwhile.
