Not sure if you meant p10 or p100. If you are comparing to P10, the I would definitely choose the W1. Some people say the P100 is better than the W1 even though they both have the same CCD and lens combination. I personally like the W1 better as it is compact, solid build quality, very fast startup and focusing, uses recharable AA batteries. It's a lovely little cam!

I agree with holeinone.

W1 better.

I am not aware of the P100... becuase I was eyeing the P10 for a while when I realise and take notice of the new W1, as it only costs about $600+ (below what I expect for a new 5 mega pix camera, almost same price to P10 which have been around for some time)

Is the P100 the replacement for P10?

but I was made aware to avoid electronics which uses AA battery.. I was told that they finish the battery very fast and therefore costly, and that batteries may leak inside the electronic item

does this theroy apply on digital cameras?

since it's a gift for the gf, get the P100 in red. I'm sure she would appreciate it more than the W1.

Hey I also have the P100 in red.

It's a very fast and sharp camera. Don't go for the P10, get he P100 instead.

Red is

.

Whether it's the P100 or W1, you will not regret your choice. The black W1 is quite cool also.

Get the red p100 and maybe you will get a

in return.

am deciding between p100 and w1 also.....

probably getting a p100 since w1 has no underwater housing...... however p100 doesnt use AA batteries......

dilemma!

ricleo · 12th July 2004

no worries abt the non-AA batteries. Sony's Info Lithium batteries are great

The UW housing was one of the reasons I bought the P100.

The lithium batt in the P100 can last a very long time. Infact I have not charged my cam for maybe a month already.

hmmm guess p100 will be my choice....when i have somehow save some money

where is the best place to get it? MScolor, Alan Photo and Cathay Photo issit? Will I be able to get a better deal if I go and research at Sim Lim, Funan or Lucky Plaza? Some shops may sell it at a cheaper price?
