cannon has for years proved they are better than any other camera manufacturer by far.

with both there dslr and there point and shoot cameras... the cannon power shot and the cannon rebel xrti plus the cannon 40 and 20 d plus the 1d and 5d cameras are the best and top rated cameras over and over and over again...

sony does make a good cyber shot camera but even then name of the camera shows that it is trying to immulate the power shot...

cyber shot
power shot

this has been noted ever since the first power shot was revieled... sony made the cyber shot in hopes that people would by the cyber shot in mistake of the name...

plus if you dont take my word for it... go here and look at all the reviews for different cameras

plus you will see that cannon is more for quality and sony is more for the compactness of a camera...
