Canon A75 or Olympus 60Z?

Okay. I'm (pretty much) new to photography and thought I'd look at
buying a digital camera for our upcoming trip to Japan. I found a used
C60 in the box and like new for the same price as a new Canon A75. I
know it's 6 megapixels versus 3, but what about other considerations:

Oly vs Canon

xD vx CF memory storage;

Li battery (charger included) vs. AA NiMH;

card readers.

Plus, Canon seems to have a better rep, and at sites like
imaging-resource the side-by-side "Comparometer" sample photos seem
indistinguishable (to (*me*).

Any opinions?

Thanks,
Newbie.

Dunno about image comparisons, but the A75 only does jpeg, while the
60Z does TIFF. Just on that alone, I'd take the 60Z.

Get the Canon A80. It's 4MP and it's selling for under $400 now.
