I am looking to buy a digicam in the 10k range.
Digit gave best performance award to A470 in this range. But they didnt review anything from the Cybershot series. So I was wondering if there is any cybershot model that would do better in this range?
Also what is the current cost of SONY CYBERSHOT W150, SONY CYBERSHOT W130, Canon IXUS 80 IS and Canon IXUS 75?
Is IXUS 75 better than A470 in terms of image quality?

Ya i too wondered. but i don't think they have any better model then Canon at any range except sony DSC H50.

Canon Ixus 80 is @ 10500
A470 is 5.9k
Canon IXUS 75 is 12k.
w150 14k
w130 12.2k
Canon IXUS is much better then A470.

I would suggest you Canon A720IS @ 10500. and its the best of all the models you have mentioned. And is a very very good vfm.
If you like to save some money then A570 for 8.5k is also good but not as good as A720IS.
