Let me also finish up with this final thought. Compact cameras are a balancing act of features and compromises, Sony chose to make compromises as did Canon, though each chose different compromises.

That's absolutely the heart of it. ALL photographic equipment is a compromise; the key is always in selecting the right compromise for you. A camera that might be unusable to one user might be perfect for another. Neither is wrong. The only people who are wrong are those absolutists who insist that a certain camera is objectively useless, when at most they mean it's subjectively useless for them.
