Purchase question for all of you - Sony

by pblank37 May 20, 2006 7:17AM PDT

I've been researching compact digital cameras and ran across the Sony DSC-T9 (6mp and retails for $399 at Best Buy) and the Sony DSC-W70 (7.2mp and retails for $299 at Best Buy). I'm wondering why the T9 is so much more expensive then the W70 when the W70 has more megapixels and they both seem pretty comprable. Also, I've been able to find a lot of information/reviews on the T9 and hardly anything on the W70 so it's really strange to me. Any information you have is much appreciated!

Thanks - Lisa

The W50 and W70 are exactly the same except for the megapixels. There is a review for the W50:

The T9 has image stabilization and the W50/W70 do not.
The T9 has no viewfinder but a better LCD.

The rest of the specifications are pretty much the same:

Thank you for your response and the link that has all three side by side! Sounds like I can't really go wrong with any of them.
