Canon S1 vs Sony DSC-P100 vs Sony DSC-W1 vs Canon A95 - What Camera Should I Buy? - Digicam Help - Steves Forums

W1 vs G6 vs Canon S1 IS vs Other?
You will also note that CF chips are a good deal less expensive than the Sony Memorystick family.... The Sony seems to have more features, one which caught my eye is the Nightshot mode....
