Check out the links below for reviews on both. you can compare the sample photos side by side. also the Sony high iso looks better. personally I think that the Sony has warmer more vibrant color although the night shot looks better on the Canon. I just ordered the Sony so we shall see. I also like the looks of the Sony better. well, good luck in your search. http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/sony/dsc_w55-review/index.shtml http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/canon/powershot_sd1000-review/index.shtml

Greg...thanks for the great comments on the E510. You have confirmed my own research. Seems to pretty much be the best value in the DSLR group at this level. I really appreciate you taking the time to help us out. Based on your comments and some others, we have ordered the E510 from Amazon. We will check out the pics you took. Great help! regards Dar

The A2500 is pretty great! My friend and my sister both have it and they love it! It actually has a lot of features/modes if you search through the camera. At first glance, it doesn't look like it can do much, but there are so many cool settings and functions--a lot like my canon powershot A470

I've tried both and for me the extra $100 is beyond well worth it. S100 has much better low light performance and overall picture quality(although 110HS is very good). Video looks substantially better to me as well. The S100 is truly at another level in so many aspects. The 110HS is extremely impressive for it's low price and has to be one of the best at that price range but if you have the extra money to spend you won't regret moving to the S100(assuming you don't get the dreaded lens error).

I've owned three Sony Cyber Shot ultra-compact digital cameras and have had excellent luck, a T1, T7 and currently a T200. Sorry, you are having bad luck with the T2, I will make note. I ended up going with a T20 and an add on 4GB memory card as an Xmas present for my girlfriend, which ended up being about a $100 cheaper in the end, and the cameras have very similar internal specifications.

The S95 (or in my case, the S90) takes far better macro shots than the X100. Focus is much faster and solid. But the X100 takes 'bokeh' shots much better than the little Canon. I'm keeping both as I believe they complement each other rather well.

Thanks for the reply! I do have a back up, a Sony 2.5 megapix I got around 2001. The D5000 gives you a much better picture to work with , I like to use RAW files with Photoshop which the Sony doesn't do. I've read the info on Nikon's site and will send it in. Our grandbaby (4 months old) is coming for a visit tomorrow for a few days and I plan to send it in after the visit. I'll miss it. . .The camera and the grandbaby.

pika2000 said is nice and to the point. The APS-C sensor is that size that most DSLRs have. The next biggest sensor is a "Full Frame" but then you are looking at $2K+ for body only. Also good point - if you have no interest in learning how to use lenses - go with the RX100 - great camera.

After much research I choose the Canon SX700. Love the camera. I have Canon EOS equipment so a often lean towards Canon.

I owned the SD630 for a year and upgraded to the SD750 last week. One difference is that the 750 supports SDHC while the 630 does not (SDHC comes in 4-8GB). I also find the "macro" shots come out with more detail on the SD750. Low light pictures are so-so on both (and all other compact cameras as they lack the flash power). If the price difference is not too much, go with the 750; otherwise stick with the 630.

I too am looking for a new cyber-shot. I am looking to buy the dsc-w290 but I have heard great things about the WX1, such as the new panoramic sweep mode and cmos sensor. Not to mention zoomable HD video is amazing.Why you should wait however, is that this is the first batch of cameras with the new sensor. It also uses a smaller LCD than the 3.0 inch they started using such as the dsc-w290 and is only 10.1 mp which if you shoot in 16:9 mode, will be even less.Sony will come out with new cameras being announced in January at the CES 2010 show and then you should decide. If nothing substantial is announced, the price for this will have dropped greatly. I too am looking for a new cyber-shot.

I'm kind of in the same situation Hamlet. They both look great, and I can't decide which one to pull the trigger on. I have a Canon XTi DSLR that I use and love but I want something smaller for travel and one of these seems to fit the bill. Did you make a choice yet? If you have what one did you pick up? I'm also looking at the Sony HX5V.

Get the elph 330.. i bought the elph 130 at christmas (already own 2 elph 110 cameras which are excellent-much better than the 130). anyway, returned the elph 130 pics were noisy, lighting not good. just got the elph 330 in pink and its fantastic. was going to get the newer elph 340 but reviews from tech sites were not good. the elph 330 is a great camera

I haven't found one that perfectly suits my needs yet, though I am considering the Canon PowerShot SD780IS 12.1Here's a link to it on Amazon:http://tinyurl.com/q56h7qBut I'm holding out for something better until the end of this year. In which case I'll probably go with the Canon.

I own the older sd700is and it is a great little camera. I really don't think you can go wrong with any of the digital elphs. If I were to replace it today I would get the sd880is because of the wide angle lens.

If you plan to shoot inside photos with low light, the 4000 wins. Also, for continuous "burst" shooting of fast action--kids playing, etc. However, the SD series culminating in the 1400 is a proven, smaller, stylish Elph--better for all-around use, with unbeatable Canon images. If this was my only camera, I'd go with the SD1400 (and trust my steady hand for the low-light shots).
