Looking at new cameras

[coyotebandit]

They are priced almost the same, Sony has higher MP, they have the same zoom. What is the better camera for the money?

Try this site on camera reference, tons of comments on cameras. I would help you out more, just don't know much about the 2 that you have mentioned

Good luck on your buy and make sure to post some pictures here for us to look at

I just bought the Canon S3, and I really like it!

I haven't seen any images taken with the Canon S3 (that I know of). On one of the photography boards that I hang out on, I see a lot of images that were taken with the Sony H5. In my opinion the Sony is an outstanding camera for the money, and if I was looking for another point and shoot, the Sony H5 would be it. Also, the Sony H5 takes awesome macro's (see this months photo contest).

It might be good to physically handle them before you decide. Sometimes the hand-grip comfort or the button layout can be a deciding factor. I think in2blacktail and speckmisser both have the sony (maybe H3 though), and they both indicated that they liked it.

The Canon has "super macro"
Can take pic's less then an inch away! And it works great too!
