Which is the better camera for real estate agent to use to capture a whole room shot?

My personal opinion is that for indoor whole room shots neither one is all that great, widest they go is equiv of 24/25 mm you really need more for indoor whole room shots.

Velmer, welcome to the Hog.
I don't know the Sony, but the Canon S series is very good and very versatile for such a small camera.
But, my question would be, is it even neccesary to have to get whole room shots. Look at the best interior shots on the Internet, and you'd be surprised how many are NOT whole room. It's more about composition and presentation, than seeing everything.
Again, welcome and good luck! ;-)

in some cases it may be better to stitch two o more shots together.

Having the right lens is more important. I recently purchased a Canon EF-S 10-22mm wide angle lens. It is a beautiful lens that many real estate photographers use.

I know I'm going to get in trouble for this comment but this is a real gripe with me. Unless the Realtor is a photographer,I suggest, leave the camera at home and hire a photographer. I look through Realtor magazines all the time and I am amazed at how bad the photos are. Bad angles, horrible composition, mostly underexposed. I don't know of any other business who sells something that takes such bad photos of their product. Why???? It just irks me, maybe its my architectural background but it drives me nuts!

I personally only know one realtor who is a stickler for high quality photos -- although there are some high-end ones who are willing to pay a professional photographer.

It is truly amazing that many realtors accept and publish such poor quality photos on sales websites. While house hunting a few years ago, I was blown away by the number of photos that were badly composed and insufficiently lighted. I even considered getting into the business myself, but I have been retired way too long to have any desire to get into regular work again. FYI: Sigma makes a fine 10-20mm lens that is priced quite a bit lower than Canon model.

Right on! I am a professional real estate photographer. I use Canon full frame cameras, the Canon 16-35mm L Series lens. I use a tripod, live view to compose and spend the time and effort to best depict the residence. I don't understand why anyone trying to sell a house would not insist that it be photographed by a professional. My rates are reasonable, and given the commission earned on a sale, I can't believe that an agent would look to save on the most important element in selling a property. Photos displayed on MLS should be of the highest quality.

The best camera for that use is the one in the hand of a professional photographer. :)

I take it you don't have/don't want a DSLR???
If you have a DSLR - even if it's an older/cheaper model with APSC sized sensor then stick a 10 - 20mm lens on it.
I find my Sigma 10-20mm lens on my Nikon D5100 DSLR great for taking interior shots.

Danny is wise and insightful. My 10-22 is ideal for interior shots.
