Answer 3

Canon all the way, The Casio has a very stylish look and takes nice pictures but it can compete with the quality of the Canon glass lenses, the cannon also has very good flash for indoor photos.

Answer 4

They're both good cameras, particularly given how small they are. The Canon is a bit more compact overall, but the Casio is thinner, so it may actually be more pocketable.

The imagers are comparable.. the 10Mpixel of the Casio might have the edge in well lit areas, while the Canon's 8Mpixel sensor is likely to do a bit better in darker shots. Either one is fine for enlargements beyond 8x10.

The Canon has full blow optical image stabilization, which lets you take sharp photos without blur in low-light. I have used their system -- it works very well. Casio doesn't have this, but it has a novel approach called Auto Shutter... it will wait until you're holding the camera perfectly still before it shoots. Probably not as good, but it should help.

The Casio has the edge in video, which may or may not be important to you. It can shoot in MPEG-4 at slightly higher than standard camcorder resolutions, and it also has a YouTube mode, optimizing video for YouTube upload. The Canon's video mode is Motion JPEG, which is quite high quality, but uses far more memory per second to store. You cannot zoom in movie mode with the Canon; I did not find whether you can with the Casio, but that's another thing to watch out for in movie mode on still cameras.

For use, the Casio's screen is larger, which is sometimes a nice thing. The Canon offers a tiny optical viewfinder, which would be useful if you really want to save power by keeping the LCD turned off.

Most of the "should I buy this or that" are pretty easy, but these are both really good cameras, and you can see that in the review links I posted, too. It's really going to be a matter of individual choice. You can get the Casio in colors and it's practically iPod-thin, but the Canon actually looks a little smaller. I would strongly recommend going to a store to play around with both of them... sometimes there's just some interaction you like better with one or the other... one's easier to hold (an actual issue with small cameras), or whatever.

I actually looked at both of these when I went camera shopping earlier this year... I wanted an "always around" camera with video support, for when I can't drag along DSLRs or full blown video cameras. I wound up getting the Panasonic DMC-TZ5. That's a 9 Mpixel camera, same ballpark quality and resolution, SD memory cards, etc. It's a bit larger, due to the 10x zoom lens... 3x wasn't enough for me, but it might be for you. This camera also does 720p HD video, which looks pretty good mixed in with camcorder video on a DVD, and even ok on Blu-Ray (I've only done one Blu-Ray using some of this camera's video so far). But this one is about 50% more expensive.
