both the p100 and the w1 come with 5megapix, 3x optical, and carl zeiss lens features and prices are not too different.

but i would go with the w1 because of 1 key features, 2.5" lcd!! further, the size in terms of handling is a little more ergonomic (personal preference).

another 2 points, p100 – lithium batt, w1 – 2xAA, and p100 – red / blue / silver, w1 – black / silver

if you want the best of both worlds... there's always the T1!!!

Default W1

I got the W1 at $640 excluding GST and it comes with the Sony promotion bundle now. But the bag is crap.

MS Color is at AMK Ave 8 (Central), Block 711. They have got a website www.mscolor.com.sg.

You can email Florence for a quote. I think you can get a better price. Walk-in customers may get charged a higher price.

Cheers!

The picture quality of the T1 cannot match up to the W1 and P100. As a matter of fact, it's terrible for a Sony camera and Carl Zeiss lens. If picture quality is of no concern, it's a good buy. But I don't see what is the point of capturing 5 megapixel bad images.

Unlike the SLR camp. Your digicam does affect your ability to make good photos.

The bag is crap? Thought it looks ok and is pretty handy for carrying the W1 around.
