HEAD TO HEAD REVIEW: Canon Powershot A1200 & Sony Cybershot W510

Each year, camera manufacturers release a slew of relatively inexpensive point and shoot (P & S) digital cameras. Because of that, the consumer market for P&S cameras is now flooded with every conceivable option for the user – from the simple to the absurd.

Canon and Sony spear head the march and 2011 is no exception. At the beginning of the year, both Canon and Sony announced that they will release several new camera models to the market. March 2011 saw the release of the Canon Powershot A1200 while Sony released its Cybershot W510 to the market this month (May). This is my quick and dirty review of these two cameras.
