No way! I can reduce the image size through the Sony so it's not a 2MB monster (more like a 100-200k pic), so 5MP cameras can certainly be web-friendly, so long as you don't shoot at full image resolution.
I fully agree that if you are going to be doing any sports or action photography, get something with a FAST shutter. What I have now and what I'm upgrading to aren't the best at action shots AT ALL (still using an SLR for stuff like that).
