Canon Powershot Battery Drain
What camera you buy and why?

I'm debating between the Sony Cyber Shot W150 and the Canon Powershot A590. I'm not sure which one to buy they both look like they are more or less equal to the image quality. I read some reviews that the images of Sony look bad when printed, but their characteristics are better. The Canon has great pictures but the flash sucks and drains the batteries. I am also looking to take some videos of it. This is extremely important, as both have a video mode. Any help deciding would be appreciated.

The Sony uses a lithium ion battery, but the Canon uses regular batteries. I definitely recommend lithium ion, but not everyone agrees with me. The Sony video shoots 640 x 480 at 30 fps but only shoots Canon 640 x 480 video at 20 fps. I definitely recommend the higher frame rate.
