    Powershot A85 vs. DSC-W1

    Ok, so I've decided that I'm just not happy with all the noise produced by my Canon Powershot A85, and I want to return it for another model.

    I'm thinking of the Sony DSC-W1. I had the T1 before I traded it in for my A85, but I've heard from many sources that the W1 takes immensely better pictures than the T1 does (I wasn't very happy with the quality on that one either).

    Does anybody own the W1, or know whether it's worth trading my A85 for it?

    Here's a shot I took of the cat... it's a good shot, but it just seems noisy to me. Am I the only one noticing this? Some pics I take are better, but most are worse. It's especially apparent if I zoom to 100%, which I almost always do (I like to make wallpapers for my desktop out of pictures I take).

    Congratulations!

    I think you made a good choice.

    BTW - don't get discouraged that no one replied to your post. You posted at the beginning of a holiday weekend - normal weekends are slow, and holiday weekends, people tend to be busier (probably using their cameras that they talk about here).

    At any rate, please tell us what you like about your camera. Actually I'm looking for a P&S and would love to get an evaluation of your new camera.....and maybe a picture or 2?
