I am Canon SLR/DSLR user for many years, last few months I was looking for a normal compact DC for convenience. And my selection is based on:
1st = Wide Angle
2nd = Good Image Quality/Low Noise (especially at higher ISO, e.g. indoor shooting)
3rd = Fast/Responsive
4th = Price

After searching for a while, I got 3 DC with wide angle below for comparison and my comments:
1. Canon IXUS 860IS - Noise exist in even at not too high ISO, Canon G10 not in market yet ...
2. Fujifilm F100FD - uses super CCD produces good image quality up to ISO 800, except manual function is a bit less. I bought this although I am supporting Canon for many many years
3. Panasonic TZ5 - Wonderful features & zoom range, except picture will show a bit soft at after ISO 400, probably due to noise deduction)

And Sony is totally OUT for my requirements, what I can say is Sony is having more good design, colorful, new & high tech features to attract consumers (who prefer latest technology, e.g. Full HD) & for better marketing. It's a SONY! like.no.other
