Sony W630 or Canon A2300 for first camera?

Hi there, a few pointers would be much appreciated. Really like the look of these cameras for a first point and shoot but both seem very similar. From reviews I've read, the Canon apparently produces better image quality. Please see links below if needs be and many thanks for any thoughts.
