can't go wrong with the canon. I also have a Casio, and I'm not crazy with the image quality.

When it comes to picture quality, a difference of 1.2MP doesn't make that big of difference. If you want I can find the link that explains why. Having not looked at either camera somethings that could affect quality would be the kind of sensor used and its size, whether it has some kind of image stabilization, ISO ratings, etc.

*canon can only go 3 min max

well, I guess it does depend how you want to use your camera. Never used one for movies. Never liked the quality. That is a big difference in Pixels.
See if you can find a review here with example pics:

From your two links, I'd personally go for the Casio.

Have you ever have a camera or have any past experience? If not, the Casio is probably a better camera for you because Casio's usually have best shots mode that help you pick the perfect setting whether it be day, night, water, soccer games, fireworks, leafs, etc.. You really can't go wrong.

It also has Anti-shake which is a really great option.

Yes, the 6MP versus 7.2 is really not going to be very noticeable for you. If you really are concerned about the length of the video that the camera will take, then you might want to consider a true digital video camera...

As far as the two cameras you have put up for consideration..., I would spend the extra $80 on the Canon.

For a little more money, here's another option that's a sweet camera (little less MP, but 5x optical w/ no moving lens!)

sorry, these guys are right. I mis-read your post. I thought one was only 3 MPs. You would see no difference in IQ. Personally, If I was buying a point and shoot again, I would look for one with the most manual settings.
More megapixels play a role in image editing. The more megapixels you have, the more flexibility you have in cropping.
Another big factor is holding it in your hands. Go to the store and hold them and get a feel for the button locations.
