both look good. I have the second one and I love it. IM so not a good photographer but this has helped me make awesome pics!
I have a Canon PowerShot SD900. It is my travel camera and I'm trying hard to wean myself off my beloved digital SLR. You can read a little about it here: http://journeytonora.blogspot.com/2007/02/todays-lesson-in-opposites-aka-camera.html. Most of my photos since Christmas have been taken with the "little camera" - part of my effort to learn to use it. After almost 9 months I can say that, in general, I like it. You won't take dozens of frames per second and you might miss some shots because it's a little bit slow -- but I have to think this is the case with most relatively inexpensive cameras.
The good news is that it's really easy to use, takes reliably good pictures and is teeny enough to carry around in your pocket. I would buy it again. We've had Canon cameras for years and are very brand loyal - their quality is very good, we've never been disappointed.
Heh, just to confuse you, I have a different Canon, but like it. The model you're considering has a better zoom than the Sony, so I'd go for that one. The Sonys seemed to have been going down the drain the last few years, so we haven't been buying them at work lately, and we buy a *lot* of cameras.
Where are you buying it from? B&H has always had the best camera deals. Don't forget to check them out.
Personally, I like having a SD card over a memory stick. I've had various PDAs that could accomodate it. Depends what you have.
Stephe....I had the Sony cybershot 7.2...DON'T get it. I have also owned many Sony Cybershot cams before this one and they were all great but the 7.2 is not as easy to use. I recently took it back and exchanged it for the Fuji A900 w/ 9.0 megapic. Fantastic cam and very easy to use just like the OLD sony cybershots. The cost is around $175.00. Hope my 2 cents helps.
I'm a little late on this, but I'm a huge Sony fan. I think they do the automatic digis really well, and you can't beat the Carl Zeiss lens. Make sure that version has the steady shot feature (cause Giorgia will RUN!) and you'll be all set. I have the Sony T100.
I have the Sony DSC-T100 (8.1 Mega Pixels, 5x Zoom and I get lots of compliments on my photos. When the indoor lighting is bad, I tend to take crummy photos though. The outdoor shots are amazing.
Overall, I recommend it and it's VERY small (palm size).
Good luck.
