I use Olympus because of the FL-40 flash system. This flash system is controlled by the camera and has a swivel head. Almost all of my indoor work is just fill and bounce, using the fill from the camera and light bounced off the ceiling.
I think Nikon is the only company with a similar flash system on their digitals.
A bit of advice: For web work, 2 megapixels is plenty. It's getting hard to find a 2 megapixel camera that isn't just a toy, but don't buy a camera just because it's got 5 megapixel capability. My best camera has four, but I shoot everything at 1600x1200, which is at about 2 megapixels. Figure out what your finished size will be and then buy a camera which shoots a bit bigger (25%-33% bigger will be plenty). Then reduce to the final size. These photos always look better than ones shot AT the final size.
