Me too new to digicams. Major difference between the above two is the later one comes with manual controls and bulkier while earlier is auto/i-auto... and compact.

1st you guys decide wether you want a pocketable cam or a big cam to hung around your neck :D

look it sounds funny but a pocketable cam can be carried away easily just like a mobile..but SX130IS has to be kept in separate pouch

then comes weather u want full manual control or auto mode is enough for you

I am also in the same dilemma (WX7 vs ISUX 130 vs ISUX 220), can you please tell me which is best in terms of picture quality. One difference iss that WX7 has lithium-ion batteries while other two have AA. So which is the best buy among these?

@silverlight4 ...just answer my 2 question in post above yours...BTW pic quality of SX130IS is very good

I think now AA cell problem has been solved by the new quick chargers which charge AA cell in 1-2 hr
