Here is a direct comparison between the two:

..
After many days of research, I discarded a lot of other options and I've come to the decision that my new camera should be either a Canon Powershot S100 or a Nikon Coolpix P7100, both with a 1/1.7" sensor and costing less than $500.00.
However, this decision is being really hard to me. Then I'd like to ask you fellows your opinion.
Which one has the better image quality? I know the Collpix P7100 has a smaller pixel density, but its sensor is a CCD type, while the Powershot S100's is a CMOS. Also, the lenses are different. So, does anyone here know which of them produces better quality images?
Thanks in advance!
