    Canon or Sony?

    * when I refer to "the Canon" or "the Sony" I'm referring to the Canon and Sony I'm going to list. Not all Canon's and Sony's.

    With the money saved up from my birthday, I'm buying a new digital. I won't pay more than $279 Canadian.

    Right now, and I'm sure this is the last time I'll alter my choices, it's between the Canon PowerShot A520 and the Sony CyberShot DSC S90. My Grandma has the Sony and I was playing with it the other night and loved it.. but I don't know. The Canon seems to pick up more saturated colours from what I've seen in sample photos (and this is a good thing, in some cases) and it also has a sports/action mode which the Sony does not.. but the Sony then, getting back at the Canon, has some pro's the Canon doesn't. The Sony has a really powerful flash for indoor shots, which is great from what I've seen on my Grandma's.. It's also great outdoors. The video mode is amazing, which is a big plus with me.. I wonder if I should borrow her camera and see if it suits me?

    I reallyyyyy love the Sony.. but I haven't heard how it is with action shots.. and that whole thing where the Canon picks up more saturated colours is awesome but.. gahhhhhhh....

    I've read a lot of reviews on both, but I still can't decide.. so vote!

    I just had Robby (auntie RobYn on here) buy the A520 - and it's great.

    The pro that you listed for the Sony is controllable on the Canon. It had an option where you can control the flash strength.

    I love this site. It has wonderful pictures taken with a variety of cameras. Almost every picture has posted what camera was used, and the settings. I'm not sure if there are photos taken by any of the cameras you are considering, but you could look. Even if there aren't...the pictures are SO good, its fun to browse.
