I've got a Canon Powershot A60 (2 megapixels) and a Sony Cybershot Dsc-T1 (5 megapixels). Both are great cameras but I prefer my Canon over the Sony as the Canon is able to use regular AA batteries (the Sony uses a rechargable Sony type thing), the Canon has more functions and the prints from the Canon come out much richer in color.

My Canon was $430 Canadian (after taxes) but the price has dropped dramatically since I bought it. The Sony is being sold for $856 Canadian (before taxes).
