 | For that price range, I recommend the Canon S1 IS. I have been looking at buying this camera for a while and have been reading some reviews on it. I have also talked to an owner of this camera, and played with it myself. From what I could tell it is quality made, and performed really well. Highlights include: 10x optical zoom Image stabilizer Manual Focus Flip out LCD display Check here for a full review. I definitely think this camera is worth consideration.

| He wants a good movie mode, and I don't think the Canon has an acceptable movie mode for him. He was previously looking at that one too....its a great camera, but he wants to take movies.

| I dont see what the problem with the S1's video taking abilities. It has image stabilizer plus the length of the video isnt 30 sec (like a lot of other cameras), its only limited by the mem card.

  | Of the two you listed, I would go for the Sony. Minolta has gone straight to the toilet in the past few years because they have no clue how to make a good digital camera.  Sony on the other hand has all of their products in sync with eachother and every sony products does exactly what its designed to do  But if you can, get the canon! Canon is by far the best in digital photography!
