On many AVR devices (afaik every one that includes at least one 16bit timer), there is an ICP (Input Capture Pin) that fires an edge-triggered interrupt. What's the equivalent on a PIC micro? Does anybody know a site like http://www.avrfreaks.net/?module=Freaks%20Devices&func=devCompare where you can select PICs depending on number of pins or certain features.
I simply need the smallest, cheapest PIC that's available from my distributor that has something like an ICP.
Any pointers are greatly appreciated.

The Microchip Advanced Part Selector lets you pick Microchip microcontrollers much in the way as the link for the AVR devices you linked to.
One of the criteria you can choose is "Input Capture".
There is no Search button; the results are updated dynamically as you change the criteria.
Note that there are several PIC families -- PIC10, 12, 16, 18 (all 8 bit), 24 (16 bit), 32 (32 bit), dsPIC30/33 (16-bit with DSP).
