Sorry, I had this discussion open on my computer but haven't had a chance to get back to you.

I haven't used the TX1 or the WX1, but I have used Sony T-Series cameras and the W-Series cameras. The T-Series has a really nice design and they're very compact. But the tiny lens on the T-Series is the weak link. I'd go with the WX1 because the lens will be better and it will have a better feature set, too. As far as blurry photos, that's either a problem with motion blur or bad focusing. Without seeing some samples it's impossible for me to tell if it was a camera problem or user error. My guess is that it's a bit of both. In other words, I don't think changing cameras is going to make a huge difference for you. But I also think the Sony WX1 will probably be better than the Nikon you had, if it was one of the ones that has the same design as the Sony TX1. If you do have more problems with blur, you can post samples here and I am sure we can teach you some technique that will help you minimize the problem in the future

If you'd like to look at some alternative cameras, I have been recommending the Panasonic Lumix ZS3 to tons of people. It's pretty small, has a 12x zoom lens and a great feature set. Personally, I'd choose it over either Sony. Here's an article I wrote about the Panasonic after I got to test drive it for a day:

I hope that helps. Let us know if you have more questions. I'll keep an eye on this thread.
