Not used either of those, but I've used a few Sony Cybershot cameras and they've all been good. As far as I'm aware they have a pretty good reputation.

Re: Sony DSC W70 or W100

Ok so after a bit more research, i will not be saving much in Hong Knog if i bought one there. And even if i did the warranty is not traferable to use here in the UK. So i have decided on the Sony DSC W70 as it has vertually the same features as the W100 but £30 cheaper.
I have seen the W70 for £164 on these two sites
http://www.buyacamera.co.uk/xsearch....=SONCA608&pt=k
and
http://www.bestcameras.co.uk/shop/ac...tml?ref=kelkoo

Has anyone used these sites before and are they any good? Any help please.

Re: Sony DSC W70 or W100

I have opted to purchase the W100 as it being the top end model.

Initially I was going to purchase the W70 for the following reasons:-

1) Cheaper by £20
2) Practically the same in every other regard
3) You can attach conversion lens filter (CLF) but on W100 you can't
4) Mounts onto Tripod but W100 can't

But went with W100 for:-

1) Looks
2) Extra Pixels
3) Higher ISO
4) Wouldn't ever use CLF or Tripod so not bothered

Awaiting delivery of it, bought through Amazon.co.uk.
