So, based on the difference in price, would it be worth it save $50 and get the Sony?
One thing which might sway you one way or the other is which devices you have already. The Sony will use proprietary Memory Stick for its memory, while the Canon uses Secure Digital memory.
Both are very good cameras. Memory is relatively cheap, but if you already have a bunch of one type or the other, it could push you to pick the one which uses the memory you already have.
The Sony takes 2 AA batteries (which come with it) and the Canon uses 4 (which you have to buy).
I think the swivel screen is a nice plus. Now, when will the S3 IS be announced?
