Digital Camera help: Sony DSC-W330 vs Canon PowerShot SD1400IS
Want to buy a simple point and shoot camera this Thanksgiving. The Sony DSC-W330 is available at Walmart for $119 and the Canon SD1400 IS is available for $149 at Best Buy on Black Friday.
Which one would you buy? I have had a Canon SD400 since 2005 and have had zero problems with it, but it is time to upgrade. How is the Sony in terms of reliability?

Comments
but most say that cannon makes better image processors.
Frankly they seem the same to the average user. If you're
looking to shoot HD movies with a point and shoot camera
then go for Cannon, otherwise, it would be good to save $30
and go with Sony.
