I like the Canon A80 personally, not a Sony fan.
I hoping to get a Canon tomorrow.

I don't know, i bought one this morning and it comes with a lithium ion battery claimed 400min life. That doesn't seem bad. Camera and 256 card was $480 with tax. I just took a bunch of pics and movies the quality is excellent!
