I have had the opportunity to use both cameras. The sony is a better out of the box point and shoot in my opinion. The Canon likes to run the AGC up and in certain situations not for the better. However if you are an experienced user you will get a better, cleaner, more saturated color from the Canon. They are both great cameras. I guess best summed up would be. If you use AUTO buy the Sony. If you are a manual experienced user definitely without a hint of hesitation pick up the Canon HFS 10/100, you will be glad you did. I ended up buying the Canon.
