I’m torn, and you have until Thursday to help me decide which camera to buy. The options are entirely equivalent, except for the following:

Sony Cybershot W50 Canon IXUS 60
- Cheaper (by $50) - Sexier (in black) - Better day shots - Better battery life (390 shots vs. 160 shots) - Cheaper memory (SD) - Better night shots - Fancier functions (Colour Highlight, Colour Swap, Stitch Assist)

Choices, choices. I’m leaning towards the Sony because of the battery life and better day shots, as for really good night shots you’d need a tripod anyway. Buying the Canon would definitely mean buying a spare battery ($70), because 150 shots or so go fast with digital sightseeting.

Which would you pick?
