Sony HX5V Vs H55.....CMOS Vs CCD

[jake13942]

I want to buy my mother a compact point and shoot for the mothers day, her W220 broke. so im down to these two models HX5V w/10.2 Megapixel Back-Illuminated Exmor R CMOS Image Sensor or H55 w/14.1 Megapixel Super HAD CCD Sensor. Is HX5V worth the extra $100 for better twilight picture (if it has a better twilight picture). im not concerned about 1080i Vs 720p video or 10 burst shots. Which sensor will give a better picture outdoor and low light (they both say Sony LensG, so im guessing sensor's the only difference).
