Well i have done a lot of research on both and am still undecided . Though i have come to know that Canon is better in cameras there are still some areas of concern which i would like to address 1. Canon Ixus 100 has a 3X zoom whereas Sony W210 has 4X zoom , which enables it to take a wider 28 mm view against Canon's 30mm 2. Battery backup of Sony is twice as much as Canon's Also i have had a look at photographs from both cameras , Sony's photos look much more bright and crisp although i don't know Why ? So please help me , I am still undecided about them . Your opinion will go a long way in deciding . Please reply fast , I have to buy it in the next 2 days
