i wouldn't buy from that place. read the reviews on www.resellerratings.com .

and i'm partial to canon. the a95 and s500 rock. not sure about the prices on those.

i did look at the a85.

i was looking at the sony because of it's small size.

any other advantages of the canon's that i should know about?
reviews of both camera's are very good

canon Axx series uses AA batteries if you consider that an advantage. and the 80/95 have flip out LCDs, which prove pretty useful sometimes. and the canon probably has more manual controls. but it is kinda bulky since it requires 4 AA. check out the s410 and s500 too if your biggest concern is size.

yeah i did check out the a85 it's nice and all, but too big for the use i intend. i did like the s410 though, it will take some more research/hands on to decide though, and i still like the p100.

Canon A-Series and S-Series > Sony P Series. h:

If I wanted a compact point and shoot, I will check out the S Series, no doubt.
