The Canon is a Powershot SD630, the Sony is a Cybershot W55. The former was about $400 (bought in '06) and the latter about $250 (bought in 07.) I'm not a serious photographer at all - for the first half of the decade I used disposable cameras and a cheap 35mm camera - so do not take my opinions as any kind of expert advice.

Even if the cameras cost the same amount, I would prefer the Sony for my needs. The low-light photos on the Canon are weak, and the flash is not very good. Given that the Sony was $150 cheaper, it's a no-brainer for me.

For what it's worth, I used a Canon point and shoot for many years for food photos, but I switched to a Sony Cybershot in April. The flash and the macro are much better for me. I think my Canon is more user-friendly and I like its outdoor photos more, but for food photography I almost always use the Sony now.
