Hi, I'm just an estimated amateur, that loves shooting with good quality. Receantly I lost my so precious g11 while hiking, so now I have to make a decision for a good almost pocket size camera and I'll be glad to recieve some pro advices.

The things that differ at a glance are:

The Sony has an EVF (which I prefer) and the Canon has a very basic OVF.

The Canon has a wider zoom range and much wider aperture if you stick with the Sony kit lens.

The Sony is much bulkier with the kit zoom fitted

The Sony has a much bigger sensor and interchangeable lenses. These are possibly important if it will be your only camera.

I bought a G15 as my carry anywhere camera because I can put it in a shirt pocket. I wouldn't want to put the Sony in a trouser pocket, let alone a shirt.
