Snapsort recommends the Canon PowerShot S90. This recommendation, however, should be taken with a grain of salt since it doesn't always make sense to compare a pro digicam with a travel zoom. |

The HX5 and TX7 have useful features - they aren't gimmicks. Canon includes a panorama assist feature that helps guide the user to take multiple shots, which it then stitches together - it can take longer than a minute. The Sony cameras have a panorama assist feature (called iSweep) that lets the user freely pan the camera in about 5 seconds.
My choice should be evident. Now to find the best retailer...
I like how this site elegantly compares the features of two cameras. I'm skeptical of how it calls a winner in the comparison (the comparison between the Sony HX5 and TX7 calls the TX7 a winner, to which I disagree).
I am choosing the Sony because it has a longer zoom and HD movie mode. However, the Canon's wide aperture is enticing, but not as enticing as the Sony's Handheld Twilight feature or 25mm wide angle lens.
