In the review of the Kodak M1093IS, PJ Jacobowitz made references comparing both cameras, and concluded that the Kodak is the better camera for those on a budget but want a quality compact digital camera:
Despite a comparative lack of speed, solid image quality coupled with a wealth of features and a palatable sub-$200 price help the M1093 unseat our current reigning champ, the Canon PowerShot A1000 IS ($149.99 list), to become our latest Editors' Choice budget point and shoot camera.

If its more speed you seek, check out the Canon PowerShot A1000 IS, another great value, but one that lacks the HD video capture and large display found on the M1093.
