Buy a Sony Cybershot DSCW80 vs Buy a Canon Powershot SD1000
Having a cold time deciding between a Sony Cybershot DSCW80 and a Canon Powershot SD1000? Don’t problem, your not the first. They’re both excellent cameras with some choice features. Some features that distinguish them are significance serious consideration, and some are just marketing hype.

I’d rather not think about all the pictures I’ve missed using older facet and shoot cameras with slow explode modes. The Canon weighs in here with a respectable 1.6 frames per damaged. Not bad at all for a camera in this category and price sort. The DSCW80 however exceeds all expectations and clocks a memorable 2.7 frames per second. News one...
