I'm in the market looking for a camera, I have a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W80, I would like to upgrade I had this camera for 5 years now and I think it's time to upgrade. I'm currently deciding if I should stick with Sony or switch over to Canon. I've worked with both and they are nice i'm discarding the nikon point shot cameras I really don't like them. But thats why I came here so you guys can help me out a little this are the two I have in mind

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W230

Please leave you opinion and/or if you have any other camera suggestions please tell me but I'm in a budget of $200.

Added (1). Hey guys thanks for the advice, I was looking to update my 5 year old DSC-W80 from Sony and so I did and well i looked at the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W230 and it was heavy compared to the Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS, but I didn't buy neither of these two. I found out that there was a newer model of the Elph 300 hs so i got the Canon Elph 320. Spent 70$ more but hey I like this newer camera

Hands down the Canon 300 HS is better

It has 5x not 4, but more importantly it starts at a much wider 24mm compared to the Sony's 30mm, basically you can 'fit' a lot more into a picture which means it's far more useful indoors and for group shots, but also landscapes.

This alone is reason enough to pick the Canon over the Sony, but there's more.

The canon shoots Full HD video, the Sony only shoots regular boring SD (standard definition), the Canon also shoots Super Slow Motion and Miniature Effect Movies.

The canon is also ~$50 cheaper and has almost twice as fast continuous shooting at ~3.4 shots/sec, not to mention High-speed Burst (3.0)MP at ~8.0 shots/sec

I all ads up to a decisive victory for the Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS

I've only had Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 for a couple days now, but I can honestly say this camera was worth every penny so far. It has a lot of interesting features, and is the only camera I have found that hits all the strong points I was looking for (120 fps @ 640x480 resolution, full 1080 hd video, optical zoom and auto focus during movie recording, strong low-light performance, good image stabilization.
