I'm leaning more towards a Canon because I've always owned Canon's and I have an unfounded bias that they make better cameras... is this true? Or is the Sony a better piece of equipment? And aside from fewer megapixes, is the Powershot S1 any "worse" than these two?

Stick with the Canon. Your bias is not unfounded, they have been making cameras for a lot longer than Sony. Sony is not a camera-centric company, if you want playstation or a television, then by all means get a Sony. They make feature rich cameras, but when the problems start, good luck dealing with any type of support.

Here is a comparison chart against the Canon's S1.

Canon's image stabilization feature is a definite plus.

Go with the Canon. The only Sony products I'm interested in any more is the Playstation & TVs. There is a reason Canon is one of the two 900-lb gorillas in the digital camera market.

Don't get hung up on the megapixel count. Anything 3MP or over is fine for most users needs (i.e., 4x6 prints, web & email sharing).
